Thanks for that mort. Invaluable stuff again. You might not like Schools Rugby playing on Leinsters Pitch, but the fact of the matter is Schools teams have been as big a draw as the Leinster team and in cases of later stages of the competition, a bigger draw than Leinster. This is a money spinner for the branch. Always has, always will. So its time to get over yourself tbh. The branch have made strides to take games off the DB surface and are continuing to do so. But there are simply some games which require the capacity of DB. Thats a fact of life
Cool the tubes Darce - take it in the humerous manner it was meant.
Anyway, he wasent talking to you.

Your argument is clearly preocupied with the fact that previously the final was played in LR. But this year, it cant be, so LR may aswell not have existed at all given that its in the past. In the present demand far outstrips supply, thus the event is in high demand.Slipper1 wrote:Supply is lower than demand, therefore the event has a low supply.Darce wrote:Demand is higher than supply, thus the event has a high demand.Slipper1 wrote:OK, lets play the final in my back garden, there is room for 5 spectators so lets make it all ticket. - if there were 6 people wanting to attend but only 5 get in, does that indicate a great demand to attend?
My point may have been badly written or misinterpreted Future international pointed out that the reason for the "all ticket" affair is because of demand, which is untrue; the reason for the all ticket game is because the venue is smaller than previous outings.

i dont really care who he was talking to. I can pretty much comment on what i want. Just because Schools Rugby means nothing to him doesn't mean it means nothing to everyone. He should really take that fact into account when he passes comment on schools rugby issuesSlipper1 wrote:Darce wrote:Uncle Mort wrote:Slipper, one of the things we have to accept that Schools Rugby, is and will forever be more popular than the Magners League.

no ones pissed off at anyone really. I just think people should look at both sides of the coin, rather than continually having a pop at schools rugbyFlash Gordon wrote:You know you're having a shoite day when you start to get pissed off at Slipper...Slipper1 wrote:You are just one big bundle of laughs today Darce.

I do, I do, I do take that into account, I really, really do. I do care about the schools and I want them to have the best. They make money, they get the crowds, they provide the players. I don't think that we need ask any more of them than that. From this moment on I (I hope that as I am ex-oficio as it were I am allowed to choose) will be a - no you tell me - who should I support and why? I don't think that I can go for Blackrock as that would be band wagon jumping and like supporting Munster or Manchester United (and last time I had a prawn sandwich (from Sainsbury's in Newry as it happens) I was gippy for some hours). Who are the Liverpools? the Boltons? the Wigans? or even the Sunderlands? Who should get my vote?Darce wrote:i dont really care who he was talking to. I can pretty much comment on what i want.
