Sorry I;m a wee bit sauced, but this is Ulsters year. We;re still in it for now, but we don;t have the squad ant more. If Leinster don;t find a mirical, I'm behind Ulster (historically the best Irish prinvence btw( to steop towards being a giant in Europe. You must win this thing though, but you;re ...

Ulster,as a Leinster fan having watched all our games this season and despite a decent win ovfer te O;s tonight in the groups, I know my rugby, I know my teams, Leinster and Munster don;t look up to mutch this season, this is your turn (and ritval time) to claim your places as top Irish prvince and ...

BJ Botha, the Munster tight-head prop. Regardless of Pienaar's age, I'm still pretty sure it was a "special allowance" that Pienaar was allowed to stay on with his last contract that at the time I seem to recall would be his last, and after it expired he would not be allowed to stay on. Ma...

Apologies if this was already mentioned, but is it not the case that Pienaar was given special dispensation for a contract extension from the IRFU which when it runs out, he will be leaving regardless, similar to how Leinster were forced to let Hines go? I may be wrong, but any "links" and...

As a Leinster fan I know reactions can sometimes be over the top from within when looking out, we've often feared meltdown only to go on and win trophies, but from the outside looking in, I wouldn't be pressing the panic button just yet if I was an Ulster fan. Once in form, Ulster will go on an inev...

Not sure what to expect this season if I'm being honest. I think there's a certain expectation from both inside and outside Leinster that the team wont be able to compete to the level it has over the last number of years, but I'm not certain about that. It is entirely possible that Leinster could dr...

What are you worried about lads?? Why would Ravenhill ever be sold?? The IRFU own Ravenhill and everything on it. Imagine you own a small business and you want to grow it, you can apply for a small business grant from the Government, sending in what you want to do with it, such as buy more printing ...

If the IRFU own Ravenhill but the new stands are funded by govt. who owns them? I cant see the NI assembly just handing over 14 million quid to D4 .... Why would that affect who owns it? It's a Government grant. It's no different to the money handed over to the GAA to develop Casement Park, despite...

IRFU own Thomond and Ravenhill in their entirety. Munsters loan contributions were their "rent" for use of the ground, which they no longer make / make payments to the IRFU with IRFU money. The only ground privately owned by a province separate from the IRFU is Donnybrook in Dublin, but it...

Ravenhill coming along nicely alright.



What's the building on the bottom right, is that part of the development? Looks good.

Lots more pointless, meaningless bile...

Thank God 99.999% of Ulster supporters from all 9 counties aren't like you.

Congratulations, you just made the ignore list.

Way too much politics and digs in Ulster rugby. "occupied", "homeland"

Total wrecking session and a new build and we will have probably the best club rugby stadium in the British Isles if not Europe definitely will be one of the best in Europe, but stiff competition for the title of best. Some of my contenders... Arena 92 (Racing Metro) - 32,000 http://www.worldstadiu...

A couple of questions, why are you demolishing the terrace on the corporate stand? Are seats going in there or is it just re-doing the terrace? Seems a bit mad if a terrace only a couple of years old is being broken up and built again... Also, is the main "old stand" (the final phase of th...

Can't argue with any of that Neil, I'm on the same page with everything you say there. There is unquestionably a problem with the standard of refereeing, and too the rules themselves. I suppose that's what I was getting at that there is too much variety in what aspects some referees focus on and wha...
