Visited twice last year once refused in with a beer when not thinking accepted excuse that it s family non drinking stand. Next time everyone around me was bringing beer in and event sec didn't care. If someone was smoking very simple case of removal so not sure why people can't speak up... At last Munster match walked into toilets and Munster fan was pissing in the hand basin and there wasn't even many there... He laughed it off as good enough for us.

What did these Ulster fans shout?

As for gaps yes too many in the main stand and the gap grew considerably at half time.. I hear UR will be recruiting a company next year aimed at filling seats when empty as they do at the oscars...

PoC plays in the 22 either end of the pitch between the 22 s he coasts now .

Since only about 20% of the game is played inside 22 he like bull Hayes before him fringes play 80 % of the game .
Yes he catches the eye with effort in the 22 but that's fine at Pro 12 but at International level ?

17,057 was the figure on the PRO12 site.

Smoking on the terrace doesn't overly bother me. Just irks me a bit that Eventsec seem to let everything slide, as long as there are no toes on the yella lines or kids hanging wee flegs over the safety barrier

how about Ulster play some rugby worth watching, that would fill seats, save them having to pay the players and a recruiting company.

I think the rules in the family stand are different for league and cup games. Then again that could be BS.

Glasgow played at full tilt for the entire game and looked dangerous everytime they went forward. Ulster flatter to deceive and then add lack of discipline to the mix and Glasgow would have beaten us yesterday in my humble opinion. Game management, leadership, good discipline and pace....Glasgow had it all.

On the flip side, if we hadn't fecked up the SF we most likely would have walked that yesterday.
Well done Glasgow the best of a bad bunch.
In a year where the other sides went backwards Glasgow maintained their standards and were deservedly the champs.
Hopefully the other sides can close the gaps next year as there is a widening gap between the top five in the pro 12 and the rest with only Connacht improving.
The most concerning aspect is the widening gap in standard between the pro 12 with the English and French sides.
Only Leinster gave a showing this year in Europe and their efforts adversely affected their league form.
Must do better.
