The good ones that were there on Saturday are all gone. I'm waiting for our allocation.
They sold over 28000 for L Irish at the weekend. Capacity is only 32000. Not saying they will sell it out, but they could get close.

I thought the capacity of the Richo was over 40k.

That's for concerts when there are people on the pitch. 32500 for Sport.

Paid a fair whack to be sat in the East Stand at Quins, to find myself behind the try line, with a crick in my neck, as I spent half my time having to watch some of the action on the big screen. Not doing that again. Got a seat close to the halfway line at the Ricoh this time around. Close to my natural habitat in the RDS.

the only seats available are the wrong side of the 22
Based on seats available, it will sell out, especially with Wasps good form at present

Might be better options for season ticket holders. Johng has got some on half way from the allocation as reported on another thread.

What's the away allocation generally - 5% or 10%?

Somehow, I'd say 2% would suffice this time.

We were going to take that flight but have changed to the earlier one into East Midlands on the Saturday AM. It was only €9.99 and gives us another couple of hours to make it to Coventry.

You can still get Manchester for 9.99 over and 23.99 back (or 9.99 back if you're back in time for 6pm flight)
FR552 06:20 07:25 9.99
FR557 18:00 19:00 9.99

what hotels are people staying in? we've booked the premier inn in earlsdon, seemed decent enough on tripadvisor and lenny henry's been banging on about how comfy their beds are for years.

Early Ryanair flight at 6.20 Dublin to Birmingham.
Train to Coventry £3.20 return.
Taxi to Brittania Hotel. £6.
Play it by ear then on how to get to Ricoh. Did someone say in an earlier post that Wasps run free buses to Ricoh from City centre??

Are many people chancing the Ryanair flight that gets into Birmingham at 11.50 on the Saturday?
