Saracens could have to find a new home ground after landlords Watford Football Club activated a clause in its lease agreement for Vicarage Road.
Saracens has been playing its home matches at the stadium since 1997 and the current arrangement between the clubs was due to have run until 2017. But Watford has implemented a 'break clause' as it wants to find "a new long-term solution to the lease agreement".
"The action we've taken means that Saracens would leave Vicarage Road Stadium on June 1, 2011," said Watford's chief executive Julian Winter. "However, the football club has also agreed to a three-month period of extended negotiation to enable Saracens time to decide upon their preferred future home, one of which could still be Vicarage Road."
A club statement read: "Watford Football Club remains hopeful that both parties can negotiate a new lease which sees Saracens become a partner in the improvement of the Vicarage Road facilities and pitch."
Saracens has staged several 'home' games at Wembley Stadium this season and has also been linked with a move to Brentford's proposed new 20,000-seater stadium.
