We must have made some impression on you last Friday night

I won't be sharing with just anybody though! There will be strict vetting, and I shall be interviewing as well.

I feel very scared now. I may rescind the offer, and lock the door, before placing the wardrobe in front of it, and barricading myself in.

I could be on for that... I'll let you know by the week's end!

EDIT: just noticed that I'll be working the night before, so unless I can swing something there, I won't be able to make this. I'll find out...

Does anyone know if we can get tickets from the Branch in advance for this game, or will we have to get them in Llanelli?

Get them at the Ticket Office in Llanelli. Go for the North Enclosure tickets at about €18 a pop.

Hacker G · Post by **Hacker G** » September 8th, 2006, 1:54 pm

Cheers for that Crazy Dave!

Ticket office is +44 1554 783936 - 15GBP a pop for the North Enclosure.

That's a good bit dearer than it was for the Heino Cup match between them & Toulouse last January. But I have heard that they're in financial trouble, whihc might explain the increase. You did specify North Enclosure standing

Hacker G · Post by **Hacker G** » September 8th, 2006, 3:04 pm

Yup, will be standing alright - may need the hip flask!

Looking forward to this immensely!

My first game of the season on the pop!

Incidentally, if anyone wants a lift, I'm driving down from London on the Saturday morning, and back on the Sunday.
