Re: Leinster move to Aviva Stadium for 24/25

What I mean is. The grandstand is not filled with St holders. There are plenty of empty spaces that are held back to cover away fans etc etc. It wouldn't be difficult to move those spaces elsewhere and minimise disruption etc. When you have allocated seating for 17 years you tend to get to know the...

Nothing really left on TM, they opened the Nally terrace just there. I imagine it's over 70k sold now with just Saints returns left to come back. I know a few people who were caught out this morning. nearly go caught myself trying to wait for better tickets!!

Re: Leinster v Northampton Saints - EPCR Semi-Final Croke Park 4th May

EPCR have set their prices for Leinster’s Champions Cup semi-final against Northampton at Croke Park on average at €10 lower than was the case for the clash between Leinster and Toulouse at the same juncture at the Aviva Stadium last season. The average price for a ticket for last year’s semi-final...

Re: Leinster v Northampton Saints - EPCR Semi-Final Croke Park 4th May

Not sure how reliable this is, but I have heard that tickets will go on public sale at 10am on Friday and are an average of €10 cheaper than for last year's semi-final at the Aviva Stadium - down on average from €49 to €39. Premium tickets this time around are priced at €90 for Premium, Category 1 ...

Re: Leinster v La Rochelle Saturday 13th April 2024 at 5.30pm RTE2

You can boo Keatley your own player but don't boo Roggie. They have been called out for hypocrisy on booing. I remember being in Thomond when Heaslip was booed while going off injured, he was Ireland captain at the time. [emoji849] I was there for that too. It wasn't just a couple of rogue fans eit...

Re: Leinster v Northampton Saints - EPCR Semi-Final Croke Park 4th May

Hearing that GAA premium ticket holders are getting first dibs at tickets for the match - premium priced at €100 I think that's in their contract. Ye just got the email from work price is €92.50 per ticket for premium seat. Anyone with a 10year ticket has right of first refusal no matter the event ...

Two Munster lads in my office already over to me to tell me they are going to the match on Saturday, not to support Leinster, could be quite the few of them there.

Re: Re: Ireland vs Scotland, Saturday, 4.45pm

Amazingly - if we score 4 tries or lose by less than 7 points - we win the championship assuming England don't win by more than 80 points.... away in France... Has it ever been the case that a team has won the tournament with 2 losses? Much less 2 losses in a row? Should we lose to Scotland it will...

Re: England v Ireland Saturday 9th March 2024 4.45pmTwickenham

The strategy of kicking the ball to relieve territorial pressure was correct. The tactical choice of the method, of box kicking, to implement the strategy was not. The execution of the tactic was awful. I agree. I don't understand why our defence isn't getting any criticism in this matter either. A...

Re: England v Ireland Saturday 9th March 2024 4.45pmTwickenham

I have no issue with the decision to kick. It was the right call and the ref would have been under huge pressure to ping us if we tried to kill the game for 90 seconds. The issue is our defensive set post the lineout. We went for a choke tackle and had three lads tied up, they got to ground and we ...

Re: England v Ireland Saturday 9th March 2024 4.45pmTwickenham

I'm so confused with the logic in our end game management. It seems in the modern game the preferred option is to kick the ball away and defend your position when leading even by the minimum. I find this approach to be one of the most frustrating tactics around and feel that on the weekend it cost u...

Re: 6 Nations 2024

We would be mad to leave the Aviva. The deathly silence, interrupted by the occasional "sorry, excuse me" from a tosser getting his row to stand up while he goes to and from the bar, has on multiple occasions struck fear into visiting teams. We must not lose this vital advantage by moving...

Re: 6 Nations 2024

Given what we saw with lots of those developer led build projects, perhaps we dodged a bullet. Lots of sports clubs got badly burned with my own local golf club wisely turning down a similar offer that would have left them high and dry.
