The magicians secret prize draw involves numbered codes and visuals hidden in flags which will be given away and then subsequently sold at future Saracens rugby club home games.
The supporters who get to the ground first will get the allocation of FREE flags at each game. Those wishing to make up a whole set if they miss out will be able to buy flags from sellers and from the retail concessions at the ground while stocks last. The proceeds from the sale of flags go the Saracens Foundation.
Additional clues to the codes and more explanation of the whole heraldic nature of the concept is additionally given in Saracens programmes sold at each game. The whole linkage of ‘pride & unity is explained on the web site and more clues will be launched on the web site www.saracens.com
