That's fair enough then. :cry:

For what it's worth I can't see 2,200 ST's going, and I think a lot of non ST's will be on the look out for tickets. So with that in mind I've no problem with a ST requesting a ticket and looking out for a good a non ST.

I'm kinda with Harry on this one, I don't see 2,200 ST holders going so I don't see anything wrong with a "good" non ST holder getting one, although I'd prefer if all ST holders who want one are catered for first...

And since I'm on a run of bad luck, if someone puts their name in, isn't going, gets a ticket, and I don't, please keep me in mind...

The poll is still fairly close, I will leave it till friday (or until posters get tired of it) - personally, I was leaning towards entering and giving the ticket to Mort, but he's off my list now.
Not my day is it?:oops: Who knew you were already a father and Rob Kearney was a final year Orts student?

If anyone is not travelling but has two tickets to sell (I've already sent some feelers out) I have booked my travel from France over to England on the Saturday morning. As I'm not living in Ireland I only get to go to one or two matches a year (Toulouse, Agen) so no point in being a STH or even an Exile (I have two young kiddies and can only travel occasionally). I'm born and bred in Leinster (down the road from Rob Kearney), support Leinster, but live in France :°) Any kind offers would be most welcome ........

Otherwise, I will try the WASPS website on 19th Feb - but that is my really wild card.

Allez les Bleus :°)

OK while hardly overwhelmingly decisive, 20 to 15 is a majority and probably lies where I would have fallen anyway. Given the suggested amount of tickets available and now that the branch are limiting tickets to one per person I relly do think (hope) that there will be a good chance that nearly all that want to travel will get sorted.

By entering the draw, I would just deprive someone who deffo wants to travel of a ticket. I would also urge those not planning on travelling to not enter the draw as well.

Best of luck guys and gals, I hope this lottery is good for you. Enjoy the game and I admire your unending support for Leinster Rugby.

My understanding is that there will not be an issue with supplying all who have applied with at least one ticket.

That's good news. You imply that there is a possibility that not all 2200 tickets will be taken. Have you (or anyone else) heard what the Branch will do with the "excess"?

Think it'll go to a second round lottery. Not sure though - to be honest, not sure the branch know yet.

Hey guys due to a email screw up my brother wasnt entered in to the draw and the LB would not relent even though he got on to them only a few minutes late this morning. He is a season ticket holder but doesnt post on here :oops: .
So if anybody here has requested a ticket and are not going we would be very gratefull if you would sell it on.
Thanks
