BBC - Season Ticket

Post by The Towse »

From http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/norther ... 790341.stm

I guess Winker Watson will be running around tonight's event for some last minute footage before this goes on air....hopefully the Beeb will make a decent fist of it, and it isn't just a rehash of 'Pride of 99'.

Season Ticket will be back in February with another short run of four exciting programmes.

Included will be the 10th anniversary celebrations of the Ulster rugby side that won the European Cup on 30 January 1999.

Ulster lost only one game on the way to winning the then sponsorless trophy. English premiership teams had pulled out of the tournament when they took the huff at not getting more of financial pie.

However, Ulster, who lost to Toulouse away, still had to see off the Frenchmen on two more occasions as well as the might of hot favourites Stade Francais in the semi-final.

The final itself against Colomiers at Lansdowne Road was an unforgettable occassion, even though the game itself was an anti-climax as Ulster easily saw off the French 21-6.
