Don't think I can handle next Sat being my last game of the season!

I know the feeling. Really looking forward to next season though.

Get there a week before the Munster hordes?

the only problem with that is that there are people who would then be there two weekends in a row, which might lessen the numbers travelling.

back maybe.... We could always just leave Shagger over there!

Bad news - looks liek we will have to wait a little longer for the fixture to be confirmed

From leinsterrugby.ie

Ed: Have just been advised by the Celtic League that unfortunately it looks like the date won't be confirm for another few days. Possibly a week. Waiting for TV to confirm their schedule

does that mean that it's time to start a campaign directed towards setanta to help ensure that our game is scheduled for saturday?

Any word yet on a date for this game?

According to the branch it will be next Wed/Thu as they are waiting for Setanta to come back to the CL (after emailing the CL they say they are waiting on Setanta???)

If I hear/see the dates confirmed, I'll stick it up on here (after I've booked my cheap flight and accomodation, providing its on the Saturday )

If Setanta think we will be going to the game on Saturday instead of watching it on Friday, I think they would push for a friday game. More viewers, more money.

Don't think so. There'd only be a couple of hundred travelling, Setanta would be counting their viewing figures in the thousands or tens of thousands.
