The UAFC

Away at Toulouse in 2000/2001. Topping breaks away in the final minutes. Hares down the wing to score. Just on the other side of the touchline runs team doctor, D.G. Irwin, screaming at him, waving his arms. Dr. Dave is having to check himself so as not to overrun the ball-carrier. I'm sure he was o...

Aye, our London contingent just gave up after their 2nd booking was also cancelled. Apart from them, we're avoiding SNCF. A lot will depend on the air traffic controllers. Anybody know when the team is/was due to fly? Team flying out of Aldergrove at 1:45pm on Friday. Should be all sorted by then, ...

The conclusion the IRFU cause a 2000 drop in attendances

The IRFU may have caused a 1999 drop in attendance.

The IRFU and several other factors contributed to the rest.

Car hire could be tricky. Certainly wouldn't leave it until the last minute.

There is always an element of over familiarity in interpro lineouts, but it does emphasize a weakness.

On a more+be note. Decathlon have a good discount on their thermals.

Unions are calling for protests on Thursday. Could be fun if air traffic controllers downtools again.

Tickets also available ASM website.

I wouldn't have thought we were even close to within a 1000 of capacity.

Crowd probably around 16,000 I'd have thought.

No where near it. I'd say 13k is generous.

Abit harsh lads,have you fell outa the wrong side of bed.

Me?

Haven't been in over 18months. Do they still have some DJ mispronouncing the opposition names? Do they still preach about 'Ulster Values'? Do they still pump in SUFTUM? Is there a Band? The whole experience used to be very organic, head down, meet your mates, cheer on the lads. Now it's feels very ...
