Well said !

I agree wholeheartedly with the sentiment of the message and I hope that you will continue to give good fervent support to Ulster without any need to demontrate ridicule or hatred to visiting teams.

After McCall and Clarke were installed as Head Coach and assistant/forwards coach respectively the team leaked easy scores in almost every game. It was as if the coaches didn't have an idea about how to fix the problem. The solution was to hire Kelly as a defensive coach. The solution seemed to work...

It looks as though some people think that we would have won if we had played with the wind in the second half.

It isn't that long ago we played Leinster at Ravenhill - we played with a strong wind in the second half and were lucky to get a draw!

Thought the ref had a demoralising effect on Ulster. Llanelli's first try came from an incorrect decision. We had a great attacking scrum in front of posts in second half and he blew for a crooked feed. All the feeds throughout the game seemed to vbe the same but only that one was penalised. He only...

Like most of the people watching the match I felt great disappointment that Ulster capitulated. I suppose that the team tried and put Llanelli under quite a lot of pressure for fifteen minutes of the second half but couldn't cross the line. They seemed to have VERY few ideas. Llanelli had a clearing...

What about this stamp on Besty! This may be the incident referred to - There was a stamp on Neil Best by Leinster No. 4 quite early in the game. Best was on the ground close to a ruck and as the Leinster player approaced the ruck he stepped sidewards so that he stood on the side of Best's knee. He ...

A few points: I would rather pay my £10 and stand on a terrace than pay £15 and sit in a seat. A larger crowd paying slightly less per head but the same overall amount will not be detrimental to the coffers but should add to the atmosphere and support as well as programme purchases and sales in th...

With the Titan Stand the capacity of Ravenhill is 12800 - after complete redevelopment the maximum capacity will be reduced significantly. However, in my opinion, worse is to come. Even though the capacity, and hence the crowd, will be reduced the amount of money taken will not. It is hoped to decre...

Since the proposed capacity of the 'new' Ravenhill is smaller than the present maximum why should it lead to an increase in the size of our crowds?
