Information evening

[BR]

Did that really 'sell' out as quickly as it seemed?

Am I missing something?

8.5k STs at the last count. Wouldn't need the take-up to be that high.

Are they giving away free stuff, or is it like was suggested thus morning - 1st prize in the ballot is a contract as DOR?

They are just going to raffle the DOR job and by the way you will do it for love of Ulster not for renumeration!

So not for a salary somewhere close to John Afoa's then? Not certain which earned more but a fair ould crust, one a part-timer the other wrote his own job spec so that every defeat belonged to the coaches & he was made of feckin' teflon (other non-stick surfaces may be available, how the feck would I know, I'm not a scientist FFS).

Oh al-right then, I should add that Doc Dave did plenty of good for Ulster over the years. Thing is, in the earlier years I think that his name helped with recruitment. Now, not so sure that it matters, I think that Ulster sells itself. Lets hope we get things right in the next few months & that continues to be the case.

Information evening eh????? Mmmmmm methinks there be some creative licence used here somewhere... I would be prepared to sell the naming rites... oxymoron evening would work. Though some may say I'm selling out to 'the man'

Information evening was originally planned to be for people to see the new bars so they could see what £100 got you, and other facilities as well plus questions about moving seats etc but no doubt this has been superceeded as people will now think it is a meeting about what the feck is going on.

Brother baggy converted to the dark side? Teflon Davey, never fond of the dirty work?

You are right of course he performed his function very well, primarily recruiting well during a difficult spell between getting rid of the Fat Controller and installing the Fit Controller who had little kudos in rugby circles. He was an Legend, capital L, as a player I doubt he will be viewed in such a way on his post playing career.

Not sad to see Humph leave. He was there for his own gain and to hell with everyone else. He will also, as others have said, not enjoy such an easy ride at Gloucester. He will deflect any responsibility for his first season if he can't pick his own team and thereafter it's hard to know. Not convinced Gloucester are ever going to get it together to reach the heights of yesteryear the fans and owners clearly expect.

He was overlooked for the Nuciforca position and I believe that is ultimately what led him to look elsewhere.

I suppose the one human quality he has was looking after the wee bro. Released early from one contract at ulster and then brought back a year early from the deal he signed.

Is that why it has seems so popular? Do people honestly think they're going to discover more than the quality of the view into the Quinn's bedroom?

I doubt it BR as very few if any of those going will actually know that, and the vast majority who go will think it is about the stadium naming and Humphs leaving

That's why I'm not bothering about it. Waste of time Shane trying to flog me bar membership at those prices. Can't see anyone saying too much about the other stuff.

[Tevez]

Our feathered friend is correct....initially these meetings were arranged to show off the new facilities including the £100 bars (as much as anything cos Fit is aware of disquiet among a number of ex Scoop members). However they were also envisaged to cover fans' wider concerns. Indeed our esteemed Bel Tel correspondent somewhat prematurely referred to them a couple of Saturdays ago (see mac's newspaper review if you can be bothered). Events over the past week has added a certain spice to these meetings. Gary, I will be astonished if Kingspan & humph gate are not the main topics raised by fans.

No point only whinging and gurning about Ulster life here.....do it at the meetings next week.

Is humph leaving officially a 'gate' now?
