CELEBRATE ST PATRICK'S WEEKEND IN STYLE
London Irish have pulled out all the stops to make sure that this season's celebrations are bigger than ever and that means a fantastic new limited edition jersey just for the match.
The 2004 limited edition St Patrick's Day Weekend jersey is in a traditional London Irish green with white shoulders and collar. The club crest is on the left hand side with St. Patrick's Day Weekend 2004 underneath.
And just in case you forget what you are drinking when you get to the bar there is a large pint of Guinness on the back of the jersey! Most importantly the players will be playing in this special shirt on the day.
This jersey can be only pre-ordered until Wednesday 17th March or while stocks last. For details of how to pre-order visit the London Irish website.
SHUTTLE BUS TIMES
Spectators are being strongly encouraged to leave the car at home on Sunday to fully enjoy the St Patrick's festivities. Shuttle buses will be running between Reading Station and the Madejski Stadium, starting at 11am and continuing until 10.30pm.
London Irish wants everyone to have a great day, so please arrive early to enjoy the Craic! The roads will be busy, and the earlier spectators arrive, the less congestion and aggravation on the roads!
