Padova & Toulouse

Lets get behind the team before we go.

From Leinster Rugby

Leinster supporters will have one last chance to cheer on their heroes before the side's Heineken Cup quarter final in Toulouse after it was confirmed that they will face Italian Super 10 outfit Petrarca Padova in Donnybrook on St. Patrick's Day (KO: 6pm)...

Petrarca are the former club of Leinster assistant coach David Knox whom the Australian played for three seasons. Knox helped guide the Italians to the national championship in 1986/'87.

They are coached by South African Paul Roux and have agreed to the friendly fixture which will be seen as a massive boost for Leinster's preparations given the gap in the fixture calendar for the province during the month of March.

Admission is free for season ticket holders and entrance into the ground on the day is €10 (adult) and €5 (schoolchildren) on a first come first served basis.

Supporters will be able to pay at the turnstiles on the night.

Meanwhile, supporters hoping to purchase tickets for the Heineken Cup quarter final in Toulouse have until 1pm on Monday (March 13th) to do so.

Tickets sales have passed the 4,600 mark and are available on http://www.leinsterrugby.ie

Lets hope there's a good turnout on Friday evening, and anyone not yet signed up for Toulouse time is running out............

Definitly heading down to the Padova game. Even though it is a pointless excercise, we have to get out and give the guys our support before they head off

I wonder if they considered a double header with the Leinster game after the final at LR. Set up bars in the ground - Food, music and all the bouncing castles kids stuff. Might have been a big opportunity to create an event and further boost the crowd.

Too much like a good idea, I reckon...

They could supply buckets and spades and have a sand castle building competition.They could hold a knobbly knees competition or even a Glamourous Granny competition. Breener could lead bingo at the Wesley End with an Aunt Sally at the Bective end. They could sell sticks of rock with the players names all through them. They could supply deck chairs for those of us on the terraces and play "I do like to be beside the seaside" over the tannoy.

I don't think you meant to Mort, but I think "I DO LIKE TO BE BESIDE THE SEASIDE" should be sung next Friday.

Guaranteed for a laugh

For no other reason than so far we've not been able to settle on which song should be adopted as our Leinster Anthem - may be "I do like to be beside the seaside" should become our Leinster Anthem. The team could come out to the sound of it being played by Reginald Dixon.

Here's the words I think that most people will know the tune

Oh I do like to be beside the seaside,
I do like to be beside the sea,
I do like to stroll along the prom, prom, prom,
Where the brassbands play
Tiddley-om-pom-pom!
So just let me be beside the seaside,
I'll be beside myself with glee;
And there's lots of girls beside,
I should like to be beside,
Beside the seaside, beside the sea.

Maybe we should ask Sheepshagger to do the Tiddley-om-pom-pom bit on his drum......if only he had any rhythm......

I'm assuming everybody will be there for the day that's in it and celebrate all things green. I'll send out an email during the week to make sure.

Aye, make sure Sheepshagger spends the week listening to Keith Moon and Cosy Powell, he might just catch a sense of rhythm for his drum solos......

Unforetunately, I dont think even Ringo Star himself could get any rhythm out of them drums...just epends how hard you hit the bloody thing!!

Jaysus! If Sheepshagger used that as his rythm we'd never be able to keep up! About 400 bpm... literally
