There's still nine games left in the regular season, nevermind a potential semi-final to get through before this even becomes an issue.

I would guess that Wixford thinks the use of the term "real supporters" suggests you were joking. Either that or its an idiotic thing to say.............

I'd tend to agree with him

Hmmm. Didn't quite work for us against the Ospreys.

Exactly.

"Real supporters" give over to f%~k? How the hell do you measure who is real and who isn't!
Do you have to have been in Castres in 2009 to be a real supporter I wonder?
Watched Harry Vermaas tear up Donnybrook is it?

We should be inviting all and sundry to come watch Leinster play. Just because you have a season ticket doesn't mean you are any different to anyone who would be going to the Aviva. I can only really afford to go to Aviva games and big HEC games, and I despise this sort of talk. It's a real hark back to the bad old days.

Oh, and by the way, surely "real supporters" would make the huge struggle to get to the Aviva anyway?
"Real supporters" would also know that we lost to Ospreys in a ML final in 2009, and have never lost in the Aviva I presume.

Hate this sort of attitude.

If you support the team, wear blue, and cheer on the lads, you're a real fan.

Yes there might be less "real" fans there if we were back in the frustraiting early to mid noughties, but the good part of "band-wagon" fans is that people get into the game, see a lot more media coverage, and if the not so great days do return, a lot more fans will be there from those who stuck around.

Personally I embrace all fans who come in and want to support the team, in fact I love it, I love seeing Leinster pack Lansdowne road almost exclusively from any travelling support.

That's a lot of embracing especially when we are playing in LR :D

I'll have a word :wink:

It'll be the RDS though, if we've earned the right to have a home final.
The sport that unites Catholic, Protestant and dissenter has had its day of days. Pity anybody who can't enjoy it. Some day.
