PREMIERSHIP Rugby has confirmed two fixtures which will trial away supporter zones across rounds 14 and 15 of the competition.
The trials will take place this Saturday when Saracens host Gloucester at the Barnet Copthall, and the following weekend when Leicester welcome Harlequins to the Welford Road Stadium.
It is hoped that the new initiative, which will allow supporters from visiting clubs to gather in a single stand, will improve atmospheres and drive up attendances.
