Launched in 2020, Northampton Saints’ Club Affiliation Initiative aims to build stronger links within grassroots rugby clubs across the East Midlands and Eastern Counties, and ultimately to establish a network of clubs which will be supported in their development to make rugby more accessible for all.
Affiliate clubs also get access to a wealth of support, including:
- Ticket Access to nominated* Saints and Lightning games at cinch Stadium at Franklin’s Gardens
- Entry into the Club of the Match ballot each season
- Kickback for hosting camps
- Access to the community message board and forum
- A place on the Northampton Saints Community Conference
- Community support at your club events
- Website presence and club promotion
Affiliate clubs must have a mini and junior section, be within the Northampton Saints Academy borders and be RFU accredited.
Affiliate status will be open to new clubs each season, with the aim of expanding the scheme to branch out into Northamptonshire's surrounding counties in the future, welcoming more and more clubs to join.
