Re: Sharks v Ulster Saturday 23rd March 1pm Kick Off Viaplay Sports

In terms of props what happened to the much vaunted (signed from Munster) James French except we didn’t sign him from Munster but from some team in France (not named if not mistaken)… as long as Bryn keeps signing this quality of non prop and dresses them as something they aren’t I don’t see any lig...

Re: Ulster's finances

Maybe I have said elsewhere and noting to do with Ulster Finances directly but.. Casement Park doesn’t meet with UEFA standards for a competition said so for months now a few weeks ago the BBC picked it up and covered.. so the design will have to change just for UEFA and nobody else also over £100m ...

Re: Richie Murphy - right man for the job?

Irrespective of who we have as coach, if we have to rely on the quality of Lowry, Flannery and Doak at 10 we may as well disband. I think that’s my biggest concern atm. There’s a bit of a feeding frenzy on Ulster atm in the media - I know this kind of turmoil is a good story so in any case they’d b...

Re: Ulster's finances

Oh and UR have seemingly pulled the plan for expansion of the soon to be renamed Kingspan part of the rationale for property development into the neighbouring area. That comes with an assurance from the IRFU that should we ever reach the dizzy heights of a QF we can switch to big brother on the And...

Re: Ulster's finances

So football won’t go there, and rugby doesn’t need to go there…..maybe except for artificially set up matches. So GAA are probably the sole users…….and therefore the sole financiers. Imagine the Treasury in London deciding whether we put 200 million into the GB health service, education, controllin...

Re: Dragons Pre Match Q&A with Jonny Petrie

And why during this same period did Ulster Rugby purchase a domestic house on Ravenhill Park (which remains vacant to this day) for £490,000 plus without mortgage ?????? Is that where big JTA stayed? He walked out home every night with the great unwashed. Yes one and same been lying vacant since he...

Re: Bryn Cunningham in the Daily Telegraph - stop thinking about winning

Unless mistaken the Salary Cap for English Clubs is £5M whilst our cost last year was £6.5M not sure what Scotland and Wales or though I suspect it is lower … is it not just the French that have the financial weight and I don’t know about the Saffers…

Re: Dragons Pre Match Q&A with Jonny Petrie

Why if we're so broke did you sign off on the expense of a plastic pitch? Sent from my Pixel 7 using Tapatalk Because D4 payed for it in full… Well they funded it with a loan - whether it’s a loan we have to pay back, or a ‘Munster loan’ remains to be seen! My understanding was it wasn’t being repa...

Re: Ulster's finances

One wonders how they believed they could afford Kitshoff. Maybe they will sell the “investment property” to help fund his wages, as they have little cash left £1.3m (£2.4m, a year previously) & given another deficit (a further large one likely) forecast (accounts say so) this year suggesting po...
