Stop waffling man, Aviva is closer in size to Thomond rather that Twickenhouse. Last year we played three games in major stadia and won two from three, fact. Your assertion on the performance in Clermont is spot on but is immaterial.
I'm assuming you either have a season ticket, don't intend to travel to the final or simply don't give a toss about your fellow Ulster fans for at least 2000 who have attended regularly during the season will not have an opportunity to support Ulster in the final.
Furthermore if Ulster are to become major operators they need as many appearances on major stages as they can manage.
As poor a decision as I've ever come upon by UR and also Leinster given they won't even have close to sufficient tickets for their own ST holders.
If the final does turn out to be Leinster v Ulster I expect that the Aviva will be used, it would be a financial gaff never mind a scandalous slight to the regular fans of both clubs to do otherwise.
