There's no Clan bus for this match I'm afraid. Haven't heard of anything from connacht rugby re trains or busses. If we hear something we'll fire it up on forum ASAP.

Leinster's game against Munster at the same venue two weeks before is now switched to Thomond Park due to Ed Sheeran's Trail of Destruction Tour across the pitches of Munster.
So that might boost sales for our game ...

Ya lots of seats available in West stand lower 122 and 126 have lots, if you can choose seats towards back of those areas those are nicely sheltered and not too high up with good views...even the areas that look sold out have a few like 123 v nice central spots.always think west stand is best as prob better sheltered from usual westerly elements if not so good weather!they are only a tenner more than the upper echelon tickets if anyone doesn't fancy the heights!

Loads of availability most places. They don't even have West Stand upper open yet so should be loads of tickets about. I'm easy with lower vs upper tier - maybe if a few give their preference for specific section and we go from there?

Map is up now.
504-506 kind of area maybe? Upper tier is grand as long as you're up the front and central. Don't want to be too far back but those don't seem to be on sale anyway.

It's not letting you choose using the seat map at this stage, just randomly allocated. So if we buy them now we will definitely be scattered to the four winds. Might be best to hold off. If they are selling tickets for a tenner, we can be fairly confident they are not expecting a sell-out.

Seem to be a few promotions going ...
Two Premium for €100.
Or (admittedly fairly crappy) tickets going for a tenner (plus probably another tenner in fees).

Tickets on sale for this at 10am this morning.

Are the Clan going to group in any particular section(s) or are we just going to be spread all over the place?

We can surely take it as a compliment to our vociferous travelling support that the Leinster Branch lobbied to get their leg scheduled for just after office hours :-)
So since it's costing us a half day's pay we may as well go the whole hog and spring for the Premium Level, right? We are unbeaten there ...

EDIT: General sale for the away leg is Thursday week: www.leinsterrugby.ie/fixture-details-con...ons-cup-round-of-16/

From what I remember, this system is only in play, because teams are only getting to play 4 group games, rather than the normal 6.
Hopefully, next season if the Heineken Cup goes back to 5 groups of 4, the two legged last 16 will be gone.

It's basically a way to make up another game


Makes sense from a business/matches point of view - but it seems inelegant.

We're going to be sick of interpros by the end of this season (not really, still love them!)
