Please note that due to security arrangements, the match will be shown on screens in the the Scrum and Lineout bars only until 3.15pm, after which the full stadium will be in operation."

Think that may be a typo, only after rather than only until.

Anyway those aren’t the bars you go to if on West Terrace. They are the ones in the Memorial Stand.

Matchday info. Apparently it's opening at 3, so watching the Treviso game there is an option. So that maybe means the Citylink going straight there makes a bit more sense (I'm sceptical about the 2.30 arrival time anyway).
That's a long time to be in a stadium though.

Go n'eiridh an bóthar libh! See ye at Ravenspan!

It's all street parkung. Local roads around the ground are restricted to permitted residents only.

Personally I'd say go with the Montgomery Rd p&r for ease.

Hey guys are many heading into the fan zone to watch the munster treviso game? Or is it mostly into the pubs close by?

Hope all the info has been useful. Look forward to talking to many of you guys tomorrow. Galway Rover is meeting me in the pub for a match ticket and it so happens the Munster Treviso game is on.

Ardenlee Avenue is a long street with lots of street parking. 10 mins walk to ground.

Anyone around Belfast for a beverage?

We're in
maps.app.goo.gl/QJgNs315SRpQFkKXA fountain street tavern!

That's a bit annoying, but I suppose it keeps it simple.

In that case I will probably go to Hatfield House across the river for my pre-match refreshments as it's only about 500m further away than the Paviliion, etc. and is close to where I'm staying. Dropped in there a couple of times on the way to games and was grand. They have food and a telly and might be less mental.

Got a reply off Citylink, saying that they are dropping and collecting from the Kingspan stadium. Looks like we'll need to go for a walk to find a pub

Lets see if I can get anything out of them on Twitter

I was planning to go to Northern Lights for pints prior to the game. Pints are expensive in there though.

Yeah, I was wondering about the bus dropoff alright. Ticket says Kingspan Stadium but no real logic in going there three hours before KO when it won't be open. I would guess the Ormeau Road near the Pavilion, etc. but it's anyone's guess. Would be nice if there was a stop closer to town as I'm staying in Queen's Quarter.

Mine didn't arrive yet

Not sure if I'm nostalgic, but I did opt for postal delivery and they hadn't arrived by this morning, so I emailed ticketmaster and they sent me on the pdf. I had also emailed Ulster rugby, and they said that if your ticket hasn't arrived by the time you leave for the game, you can get one printed by the ticketmaster rep at the ticket booth on Onslow Parade.

Do you have to pay extra for postal?

My cynic senses are tingling if so. Wish I wasnt so cynical.

Anyone know of a Weatherspoons?
The Pavilion Bar says that it shows sports, so could watch the Treviso game in there

Only Wetherspoons in Belfast in the City Centre and it's not great to be honest. If you want to watch the Munster game - Pavilion or Errigle your options on Ormeau Road if that is the drop off point for the bus.

Or do we need to print them off ????

Says on the ticketmaster that the tickets have to be printed. Dunno if that's the case but printing mine just to be safe.
