Plenty in the large crowd adorned the Ulster colours and the shop/food outlets and bars were doing a roaring trade. Absolutely no hint of any protest at the game and the match itself was excellent as was the atmosphere. Perhaps like most season ticket holding supporters I am sick and tired of the social media crap and just want to watch my rugby team do the business on the pitch.

There was no appetite for a vocal protest either despite attempts from who I assume was Rugoval and myself to get "IRFU shame on you" and "Logan out" going, there were no takers. Somebody on the Prom had a Logan out banner, but it seems the good people or Ulster don't give a toss.

Sorry Snipe but it was clear from tv there were plenty of empty seats, I would estimate a couple of thousand at least. They might have been able to give away tickets for terrace, but the stands showed a lot of space. Maybe the good people of Ulster do give a toss but think there is a better way of showing their disapproval? Not necessarily staying away either.

It needn't, and shouldn't, represent Logan's get out of jail card but.

SUFTUM.

If he wants to pm me, I can arrange to show him the Hairsprays game and we can compare it to yesterday's.
Season ticket holders are counted as having attended the game, and there were three season ticket holders at the Hack with me.
I've never seen Logan's Stadium look so empty, but I know some people will tell themselves whatever they need to, so long as it fits in with whichever version best suits their needs.
Cognitive dissonance.
