The Gallagher Premiership final may be fairly unique in English sport. Not only do the hardcore and softer core fans of the finalists descend on Twickenham, but it is also seen as a festival celebrating club rugby for the entire Rugby Union family.<\/h2>\n

The Wembley finals for rugby league also have elements of this sentiment, although there is much more of ‘northern day out in London<\/em>‘ feel to that occasion.<\/p>\n

On the walk between Twickenham Station and the stadium, supporters from across England were wearing their own clubs’ colours and mingling happy among the Leicester and Saracens fans.<\/p>\n

As some point, I must have twigged and thought:<\/p>\n

“Well I’ve seen Wasps, London Irish, Harlequins and the two finalists, what if I could get a few more?”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

To be honest, I thought teams from the towns with smaller populations might be harder to find until I came upon some Worcester Warriors fans, and my attitude changed to:<\/p>\n

“What if I could find and photo the whole lot; and take a photo of every club in the Premiership?”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So, from just being there to report on the game, I went on a mission\u00a0 – to find a jersey from every club in the Gallagher Premiership.<\/p>\n

As we made our way to the stadium, I was fortunate enough to be walking behind a couple from Gloucester, one of the clubs I had anticipated would prove difficult to find.<\/p>\n

I spied a Northampton Saints fan on the other side of a fence and persuaded him through that fence to pose, but as I took my seat in the press gantry, I was still well short. Bath and Exeter Chiefs were very well represented in the crowd but I was still stuck at ten as the game kicked off.<\/p>\n

Luckily for me, there was a Sale Sharks fan three rows behind and 30 feet to my right who was more than enthusiastic to move me one nearer.<\/p>\n

Eleven’s not bad and I consoled myself that it had been a decent idea. I even put out an APB for anyone in a Newcastle Falcons shirt to send me a photo, which was very helpfully retweeted by Paul Morgan, Head of Communications for the League, but to no avail.<\/p>\n

Bu there's one team missing. Who can find me a photo of a @falconsrugby<\/a> fan in kit at Twickenham to complete the gallery? @PaulMorganrugby<\/a> @LeicesterTigers<\/a> v @Saracens<\/a> #GallagherPremFinal<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/Yn1u49nlY9<\/a><\/p>\n
