Post by Dave Cahill »

I see the chairman of the Turnip Fondlers Association has written to the ERC to complain about the likelihood of "their" semi final against Toulouse being played in Toulouse.

In fairness, after we've been there, there won't be much of Toulouse left standing and there certainly won't be any beer left! :lol:

Interesting question Flash, he used it for goal posts and then it was stolen by some stalker....

Possibly, I think she should describe it to you. My humble prose couldn't possibly do it justice.

Sorry Blue!

Dave is such a God that its only natural that he would appeal across the genders. And, being a good Cavan man, he naturally appeals beyond the confines of human admiration. Basically he has a closer that normal affinity with sheep....even for a Cavan man..... :lol:

I can confirm that Blue is indeed a woman......though when she's possessed by the Gordon's I wouldn't get in a fight with her..... :wink:

Letter to E.R.C. from Chairman of Supporters Club

Below is a copy of our recent letter to the ERC. To date, we have not yet received a reply:

Dear Mr. Corcoran,

We write in connection with the Heineken European Cup for the current season, 2005/6 and in particular to the semi-final venues.

We note that the quarter-finals will not be played for some six weeks yet and it is possible that Munster will not be involved in the semi-finals but we would like to bring the following to your attention at this time:

• Your competition rules state:

1(b) Quarter-Finals, Semi-Finals and Final
(i) the Semi-Finals will be played at a venue designated by ERC, with the opponents in each match determined by a draw conducted by ERC .

Your website further states:

The semi-finals will be played on the weekend of 22-23 April at neutral venues with a capacity greater than 20,000 in the country of the team drawn at home.

In 2003/4, Toulouse 's semi-final against Biarritz Olympique Pays Basque was played at Stade Chaban Delmas in Bordeaux as was Toulouse 's semi-final against Munster in the1999/2000 season.

However, in 2002/3, Toulouse 's semi-final against Munster was played in Stadium Municipal in Toulouse .

We write to request that in the event of Toulouse and Munster both winning their respective quarter-final matches, that the recent precedent with regard to semi-finals in France involving Toulouse be followed and that the match be played at a neutral venue such as Bordeaux .

We believe that a semi-final in Toulouse would not be a neutral venue and would be a major unfair advantage to Toulouse should they do well enough to overcome Leinster . I am sure that supporters of USAP would be of a similar opinion.

Due to the large numbers of fans which would travel to see Toulouse V's Munster , should both teams advance through their quarter-finals, we would strongly encourage the ERC to consider Stade de France in Paris for the venue. This would be easily accessible for both sets of supporters and we would be confident that a new attendance record for a Semi Final would be set. There is no reason for ERC to limit their possible revenue to 30,000 seater stadium when in excess of 60,000 people would attend a Paris semi-final.

2.As you are aware, Munster have a very large support and, should Munster overcome USAP in our quarter-final, a large number will travel to the semi-final, wherever it might be held.

To assist our supporters, we request an early decision on the locations of the semi-finals. Last season, your announcement as to semi-final venues was not made until after the quarter-finals which left less than three weeks for supporters to organise and source travel arrangements.

We can only anticipate that you have provisional plans for all possible permutations for the semi-final line-ups with venues for each eventuality. We request that you release this information as soon as possible, but in any event well before the quarter-finals to assist supporters. This information should be of assistance to all supporters of all teams remaining in the competition.

We would welcome your reply at your earliest convenience

Yours faithfully

John Rochford
Chairman
Munster Rugby Supporters Club
