Back to the game, thought pack again drove us on with JVDF outststanding and my MOTM to be honest followed by Cronin( his run in the second half was the highlight) https://grabyo.com/g/v/VvbNl8bS3HI Furlong and SOB

I say it again, we have a huge chance of a home quarter final interpro...nice few quid in thatDave Cahill wrote:A full Aviva Stadium is worth over €3 million to Leinster Rugbyarsebiscuits1 wrote:Someone has to pay the bill.johng wrote:You sure?
I am sure there are discounts involved from the owners but there is no way the IRFU lets Leinster use it for free just like there's no way the FAI let Dundalk use it for free just like neither of them let Buble use it for free
You'd have to sell 20k tickets at €30 a pop to comfortably break even however. Hardly an unbelievable target

I went looking for the family deal (€50 for 4) 2-3 weeks ago and none were available. Left the kids at home as a result. It was a shame to such big blocks high up available as these are where these deals are usually allocated. Pity they couldn't have done a few more deals to shift some of the remaining seats.

Comparing Leinster's attendances to other teams isn't a great idea. There are around 1.5 million people in the greater Dublin area and 2.6 million in the entire province. There were some very small towns in action this weekend, like Castres and Llanelli.
Only 13,890 turned up for the round 1 clash which was on a beautiful Saturday in the middle of October at 3.15PM. Toulon, Northampton and Bordeaux all had bigger crowds.
I have sympathy for fans not turning up last week. I didn't go. 7:45 in the middle of December is a f%~king ridiculous time for a game. I was really hoping BT would shpw the vast swathes of green seats because they are partially responsible for that crowd.

Definitely and maybe a better idea than spending money on a medical joker if at all avoidable.ronk wrote: We could bring Graham Henry over for a few months with that.

Not sure why we can't compare Leinster's gates to other clubs. Dublin may be a big city but then again other towns don't have to compete with Gaelic football, hurling, soccer, horse racing etc.suisse wrote:Comparing Leinster's attendances to other teams isn't a great idea.

We had a decent crowd last week given the time of year and the kick off time. Think if the game had been a week earlier kicking off at 3 or 5 we would have had at least another 5k at it.
Flash ahhhh ahhh, he'll save every one of us
Re: Leinster v Northampton - Aviva 19:45 Saturday 17th
3pm or 5pm the same day would have added that 5K to the crowd in my view.
