Re: Brentford Community Stadium

I live within walking distance of the stadium but have only been to one game so far (LI v Edinburgh). The end stands were shut and there seemed to be more noise coming from the north stand than the south. Lots of pubs in the area. The Express Tavern www.expresstavern.co.uk is the closest to the stad...

Re: Saracens v Ulster Thursday 5pm Saracens Website

I was at the game. I didn’t actually look at the Sarries line up to see how strong it was but 5 tries to 0 against Sarries away is a good evening even for a meaningless pre season game. I think it was 4/5 Ulster tries scored out wide with the Ulster scorer needing to beat the final defender rather t...

Re: Stand up fer the Ulstermen in London

Anyone planning to go to the friendly vs Saracens at the HAC grounds on 9 Sep? If anyone hasn't been there, its a very different type of place, a rugby pitch in the heart of the City of London surrounded by corporate tower blocks. The punters will likely all be "suits" after work but the C...

Re: English Premiership 2019/20

I wonder if they will stay relegated for 2 seasons to avoid opening up their books for this season?

A team winning the Championship doesn't need to accept promotion, they can choose to stay down.

Re: English Premiership 2019/20

Apparently Championship teams need to demonstrate they have stayed within the EP salary cap for 2 seasons to be promoted...

Re: A little bit of politics folks`

There is no debate that “We send the EU £350 million a week” was a lie.

Were you fooled by it Rum?

Re: A little bit of politics folks`

Boris is a former Editor of the Spectator and the Author of several books . There is of course the Urban myth that he went around in a bus stating the money paid to EU should be spent — in full on the NHS - wrong the side of Bus implied only that more could be spent on the NHS not that all the mone...

My usual source of tickets for this game hasn't come through and I missed the news about the public sale last week.

Travel and accommodation booked, just need one ticket!

If you know of one going for sale, please send me a private message,

I hear there is someone in the Leinster academy with a business degree who has been lined up as a replacement.

Re: Wasps Vs Ulster Sun 21/01/18 BT Sport

Well that was depressing. Horrible weather, half empty soulless stadium, an Ulster team that could only score if the opposition gave them the ball.

Looking on the bright side, the trains were all on time so my journey back home went well.

I bought a ticket in N29 as well.

Obviously before I saw that BR had bought a ticket there.

Re: Wasps v Ulster

Like any true bandwagon jumper, I was going to and see if Ulster had anything to play for before deciding to go to this game.

As fermain says, plenty of tickets available so any preferred location for Ulster fans?
