Now all we have to worry about....
..... is tickets! Last season we had about 1500 season ticket holders (including family tickets). This season we have 3500 already. Now tickets will be ok for the Embra game (Murrayfield will be big enough) and the Agen game I would imagine (off the beaten track) but how many people will travel to Gloucester? How will they determine the pecking order if 2000-3000 decide to travel?
...to the sound of a Sivivatu slap!

1950 divided by 3500 equals 0.557 tickets per person, assuming everyone heads. Just think back to Bath last season when we were able to apply for a shedload of tickets .... that won't ahppen this year. We'll probably get an allocation of 1 each initially. I'm just wondering how they'll manage it if 2500 ticket applications come in from season ticket holders.

They won't, and anyway, thats the bare minimum allowed. More may be forthcoming, and there are "ways and means"Leinsterman wrote:1950 divided by 3500 equals 0.557 tickets per person, assuming everyone heads.

How could we ever hope to compete living as we do in their eternal shadow we're just soooooooo lucky to have them as an example of what real fans are like and we should so try to be more like them they really are the best they are supercalifragilisticexpidaladociousLeinsterman wrote:Perhaps I'm getting a bit ahead of myself and comparing us to the "best fans in the world like"Dave Cahill wrote:They won't, and anyway, thats the bare minimum allowed.
