For context, I'm at the HGI (cheap AMEX deal), but happy to cross the river early doors if that's going to be the best day. Need to get some steps in to deal with the calories....

HGI is a grand spot. Go to somewhere like the Schoolhouse or actually the Gingerman to start off the day.

One of my fondest memories of 09 was bumping into a friend on the way to the match and he was proudly wearing his Munster jersey (Clongowes lad, born and bred in Dublin. Statto knows who I'm talking about) and he was all full of it about how My syer were going to win and was I ready for a thorough ...

Looks like I'll be in one of the boxes for the game.

So what's the solution here? Cap the number of supporters who are allowed attend Leinster games over the course of the season? Gate fees for Leinster games get rerouted to the other provinces? This kind of success represents a grave threat to Irish rugby and needs to be addressed. A complete overha...

TBH, the options around Croke Park aren't as good as Lansdowne/RDS, so just wherever you fancy. Fagan's or the Big Tree possibly. I'd, eh, pass by The Auld Triangle if you happen across it. There's also the boozer called the Hogan Stand. Kavanaghs too It's just a shit area for half-decent pubs Coul...

On a separate note - I've only ever been to Dublin for our Irish office (which despite it's name isn't really in Dublin) - what are the good pre-match bars to aim for?

I'm pretty confident it'll sell out. Oh ye of little faith. Shame a Munster fan has more confidence in Leinster fans than Leinster fans themselves! Seriously impressive. Anyone know if trains will be running normally to Drumcondra? Extra trains? They won't have extra ones but the trains will be run...

Someone needs to take the phone off the intern running Leinster’s twitter feed. We get it, there’s a lot of tickets sold. Insufferable x( or simply don't follow them on social media...? :lol: Looks like Nally only left He's like that nosey neighbour who looks out through the curtains and tuts loudl...

Leinsterman

The seat map is back. If they've opened the full stadium (maybe some sections held back?) then it's basically sold out. If you want to go, get on there ASAP. I'm sure there's an allocation that Saints have that might return some tickets and there's also the Premium ticket holders on Croke Park who ...

Leinsterman

36k tickets sold yesterday and I joined the queue for the craic for the public sale and there were 4000 people ahead of me!

I'm estimating about 30k tickets gone so far, maybe a bit under. General sale tomorrow and 2 more weeks to sell them. If the bottom tier+premium is totally full I think that'll be a good outcome. I wonder how many upper tier tickets they'll need to think they'll sell to commit to opening it. Probab...

Leinsterman

Just bought a ticket for the Hill. Get to engage in my favourite pass time now of checking the Ticketmaster seat map every 10 mins to see how sales are going. Assuming the full lower tier + premo went up for sale they've sold a lot of tickets already. Premo looks nearly sold out which I'm skeptical...

Why not both? Can I be honest? Starting to enjoy the Left Wing podcast. Fitz talks shite a lot but he's not boring. I think Luke Fitz is really underrated. He comes out with some shite at times but he has an opinion and says what he thinks. So did George Hook though... and he was an insufferable ar...

Leinster have advantages in terms of demographics and may always have larger numbers in wider Irish squads etc. But is the province 10 times bigger than the others (as is playing out in terms of central contracts)? It's a freak situation compounded by some poor elite player development elsewhere. P...

Lads, do EPCR do kids tickets? I can't remember, not sure I've brought the kids to a semi final before. No mention of it on their site where they outline ticket prices. I might have to downgrade my prediction of attendance if they're expecting families to pay full price for all tickets. No, they do...

I'm pretty confident it'll sell out. How so - are they going to give the tickets away? They didn't sell out the Aviva at the same stage last year vs Toulouse. Saints MIGHT get to 15K travelling fans, and you might get 45K Leinster fans being generous to both, but I think it's a struggle to see much...

A few weeks ago, a daft signing.

He's a headless chicken. You only ever notice him during a game because of his cock-ups and stupid hair.

Northampton are clearly a dangerous prospect. Their attack is frightening and Courtney Lawes (bad luck for England) is in the form of his life. Also in a potential final with Toulouse, Leinster have adapted their game to deal specifically with the threat of La Rochelle. Would the new way of playing...

CM11 wrote: ↑Sun Apr 14, 2024 4:52 pm Odd they need over two weeks to get the stadium ready.

Annoying I think is the word you're looking for, not odd.
Maybe they have to nail everything down so the place doesn't get trashed although it's unlikely any English side will be in the final now.

Having been a ST holder since the old Donnybrook days, two things in particular drove Leinster. One was 2006 and the win away in Toulouse followed by the disgraceful scenes in and around LR for the SF. I think the team as well as the fans remembered that. The second was the move to the RDS in 2007....

Oh fùck me, the media love in started in 2000, when Rog kicked that conversion in the famously bright sunlight of Thomond Park at 5 o clock on a January Saturday. The point was that Munster got the 2.30 slot prior to the floodlights being installed and kept it. It was the main/only rugby slot on RT...

Munster definitely had floodlights in 2000.

Who cares? We've won Grand Slams with the boring robots, I'd take those over tedious anecdotes soundbites at overpriced roadshows and after-dinner speeches.

Exeter are still very much in this. It's unlikely but I wouldn't be surprised if they win

Uh, this aged well
