Rugby fans will at some point want to get their hands of Twickenham tickets, as the Twickenham stadium is considered the place to watch prestigious rugby matches. However despite being very popular in England, England is not the place in which football originated. Football was played by many nations for several centuries and only came to England in the 11th century. In the 15th and 16th century football was banned because of the damage that was being caused by the players and its interference with the practice of archery.

Football did of course become popular in private schools as it became a recreational sport for the boys when they were not studying. All of the schools played their own rules which had been developed by the pupils themselves. The boys in the Rugby School, which was founded in the middle of England played 'football' on grass and with a pig's bladder that was encased in leather.

Early rules for the game were very different to how they are today and what you would expect to watch after purchasing Twickenham tickets. The rules of the Rugby School originally didn't allow for the football to be handled unless it was airborne and it was caught. The catcher had to stand still like all of the other players but could only move once they had caught the ball. Until the catcher had moved from where he originally caught the ball then no other player could move.

Today, rugby fans flock to buy Twickenham tickets as Twickenham stadium is the largest rugby union stadium in the UK. The seats at the stadium currently hold 82,000 people and this makes it the largest stadium after Wembley. Twickenham is often considered and referred to as the home of rugby, as the stadium is owned and run by the RFU.
