When I log on for the ST priority booking there is no "Heineken Cup Round 4 - Treviso v Ulster"
Or is it just better (more reliable) to book through Treviso's site?
What's the best location for an oul' fella and his 10 year old son?
Thanks
Season ticket holders only and use the link on the email, open sale from Ravenhill though from Friday.
The ones at about 20 the unreserved covered terrace/stand you sit on concrete steps but is normal spot used and when you get there the end nearest the gate is normal position.

nothing like making it obvious!
Off to ebay for the white stick
Thanks for your help

Found the below guide:
http://www.rugbygroundguide.com/treviso.html
Ground Information
Address
Viale Olimpia 2
31100
Treviso
Italy
The Stadio di Monigo is located around four kilometres from the centre of Treviso. The ground was built in 1973, and presently has two main structures. The main stand is covered, with plastic seats in the middle of the stand and at the two ends it is simply rows of concrete - in winter the regulars bring a cushion or simply sit on a newspaper on cold nights! You can also buy a pad in the club shop as a useful souvenir.
Underneath this principal stand there are toilets and a club bar. Opposite the main stand is another uncovered concrete stand. Not ideal for the rainy winter nights in Northern Italy, but the locals are a hardy bunch and simply come prepared.
Although relatively small compared to other clubs in Europe, there is a great passion for the game and their team in Treviso, and the matchday atmosphere is brilliant.
By Bus
Bus route 9 from the city centre stops near to the stadium and is the best way to get to the ground unless you fancy a long and rather uninteresting walk. The bus departs from the cathedral close to the train station. The buses don't run that late in the evening though, so you might need to catch a taxi back into town after an evening game.
Drinking
In The Ground
The best place to get a drink in the ground is the bar below the main stand, where supporters congregate before the match and at half-time. There is also a local rugby club next door who often invite visiting fans into their clubhouse.
Before/After the Game
Treviso is a city that pre-dates the Roman era, and is full of cobbled streets, little alleys and bridges to explore. There are lots of bars and cafes in and around the city centre, mostly on the smaller side. Visiting fans are sure to be given a warm welcome by the locals though who love their rugby.
Eating
Contributor Gary recommends a little bar-restaurant 100 yards from the stadium called Osteria con Cucina. It's frequented by Treviso supporters, has excellent reasonably-priced food and a welcoming host in Massimo.
Back in town, Pizzeria da Fausta has been recommended too. As you might expect in the Bel Paese, there are plenty of other great places to eat in Treviso - probably more than you could get around in one trip.
Sleeping
■The 4-star Carlton and Continental Hotels are a popular base for travelling fans due to their proximity to the train station and the short walk to the historic centre.
■The Best Western is located a bit further out of town in the north-western suburbs.
■The 2-star Mezzaluna Hotel claims to be the closest to the stadium, and offers weekend packages for visiting fans.
■If you want to stay right in the centre of town your best bet is to find one of the many smaller hotel and private guesthouses in the city online.
Make a Trip of It
In Town
Treviso is a truly great place to spend a weekend. To understand why it is known as 'Little Venice', explore the historic centre and canals. You can complete a circuit of the winding alleys and canals in a few hours before relaxing with some great food or drinks or having a look around the shops on Via Calmaggiore. Prodigioso!
Off the Beaten Path
Depending on your travel route you may already be passing through nearby Venice, though be warned if you are averse to mass tourism it may not be for you! Plenty of rugby tourists tell us that they originally plan a day-trip to Venice as part of their weekend away, but change their mind and just enjoy all that Treviso has to offer.
The surrounding area is wine country (Prosecco in particular), so there are plenty of vineyard and wine tours on offer.
Can anyone who has been there before add the names/locations of any good bars/places to eat. Any bars with Sky tv showing the other matches would be very useful.
Cheers

Probably get the designer ones dead cheap from those black guys in Venice who flogged Chris his handbag.
