Re: Leinster Vs Ulster Pro12 Semi

Would they not take it to Rugby Park in Kilmarnock, it's only 25 mins down the dual carriageway! Nice 18,000 seater with lots of potential for Ulster fans on a day-trip. Troon is 15 mins away and Cairnryan 1hr 20 mins.

SRU have used it for rugby previously.

Re: P12 semi

By some accounts on the Warriors Forum they would consider Rugby Park in Kilmarnock. SRU have hosted games there in the past. Great 18,000 seater stadium and 1hr and 20 mins from Cairnryan, 15 from Troon

Re: Italiano-British Isles League

Could a resolution be to share the tv and league generated revenue between the 26 teams equally, but leave the teams to run their individual commercial departments and retain the revenue generated from that. Without stating the obvious, there needs to be an element of responsibility for growing your...

Re: Italiano-British Isles League

I agree Snipe, just hope this shortfall isn't going to impact on the budget for the provinces. I really wish we'd beaten the All Blacks 12 days ago, I think it would have changed everything rugby wise on this island, commercially and by way of aspiration.

Sorry, really off subject now!

Re: Italiano-British Isles League

Without getting off topic, the reasons for the 50% uptake in 10 Year Ticket renewal had more to do with the following, Forcing the patrons to walk an additional 2 miles to enter the ground instead of along Lansdowne Rd Not appreciating that many of these patrons were now in their late 60's/70's havi...

Re: Italiano-British Isles League

Given the 10 year ticket debacle at the IRFU leaving them €25 million short of expected revenue, I would assume any increase in revenue over the next decade would be very welcome!

Re: Italiano-British Isles League

Thank you all for your kind welcome, without sounding like an Brennan my opinion's have been informed in part by a few of the players that I'm unlucky enough to have to know. Perhaps they just don't like the cold, however I think they are obviously interested in the success of their profession and t...

Italiano-British Isles League

Having viewed the UAFC website for many years I thought I better finally register and add my tuppence, particularly regarding the HEC, or more precisely the future of European rugby and everything that follows on from that. My belief from a commercial, sporting and spectator viewpoint, as to the fut...
