If the demographics are scientifically! factored in, given the age, sex and weight of the average Ulster fan, I'd go higher. Ethnicity is the only thing most of us have in our favour!

I agree that Ulster seem to have been lumped in with the non league facilities that pass for footy grounds over here. Can they really be considered as ‘elite sport’?UlsterNo9 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 12, 2020 9:57 am Likewise felt safe at both Treviso and Scarlets games with greater numbers.
However I'm guessing when the executive stated 500 it was a blanket for all sports grounds not pro rata to capacity. If a stadium specific health and safety risk assessment were allowed to be submitted on a case by case basis Ulster should be able to demonstrate a higher number is feasible, but who has time to review and sign all that off for every sports ground in the country.

Re: Return of Supporters
You would have thought a maximum percentage of capacity (subject to other measures being in place) might have been more sensible?

I see leinster have frozen season ticket prices from the 18/ 19 season.

Assume UR would have no inkling of increasing prices either.

Re: Return of Supporters
I was at 2 out of the three games. Do I count as one fan or two?
Was gonna ask was I dead once or twice, but as you have specified that you were only referring to the last ERC game, do you know if I am one of the 'fun' 17?
It has taken me a while to back you up BR as I've only just noticed this. Did you think I was one (or two) of your fun 17 when I didn't do as you anticipated?BR wrote: ↑Sat Dec 12, 2020 10:31 amNo. The question was, and I'm sure Grumpy will back me up on this - Was there any reason given for reducing the permitted numbers.justinr73 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 12, 2020 9:47 am But the question was why the permitted number of socially distanced supporters had been cut from 1000 to 500, in the absence of any evidence to show the Executive had been wrong the first time (and in the light of 2,000 being permitted in smaller grounds on the mainland).
Perhaps you need to set Back Up to automatic rather than relying on me to do that for you?
That aside, yes, I can confirm that the question was whether a reason had been given, not what that reason was or is. It was UlsterNo9 who asked that question - and he even used an interrogation point so there could be little doubt (by most) that he was asking a question.
I'm not arguing -
I'm just explaining why I'm right
