Re: Tannoy

Totally agree. Also the use of it is pathetic. Why is it that substitutions on BOTH teams can't be given properly. We should know who is leaving the pitch as well as who is coming on. Mind you, in the match against Trevino it wouldn't have helped much as the Tigers players weren't wearing numbers. W...

Re: England play the All Blacks - a question

Ourla although the England team will not play the All Blacks until next year don't forget that the British Lions have three tests against them this summer and I suspect that 7 or 8 England players will be in the starting line-up for each test, so we may learn invaluable lessons from these performan...

Re: Dam Drums during play!!

Totally agree, no place for drums during the match.
Also, when the drums are playing, the PA system needs to cut off its too loud attempt at a disco.
This just led to an unholy noise which was nowhere near 'entertainment'.

Re: 8th minute Sunday v Racing song

As a Munster fan may I thank you all for your comments and for your effort in organising this tribute to Axel. I fear however that singing Fields of Athenry will fall flat as not that many people look at this forum nor know the words. When the applause for Seru Rabini happened on the 13th minute, no...

Re: Oh Yes - Good Pre-Match Entertainment

If you buy a fan radio (reflink to most of us) from the shop for £15 you get the referee on channel one and commentary on channel two. Everything you are asking for is on there. It works for the whole season and is really good quality compared to the cardboard ones you get at Twickenham. You can al...

Re: Oh Yes - Good Pre-Match Entertainment

is it not within the bounds of possibility that when a player goes off for a blood injury or an HIA that we are told that is why they have left the field? The TV commentators seem to be able to do this so why can't we? Similarly, when a player is replaced, could the announcer tell us who has gone o...

Re: Tickets on Sale from 1130 today Monday 11th

Anybody got any tips for getting throught to the ticket office. Online doesnt give any information of where in the ground the different priced tickets are, so I tried phoning the ticket office. After I have tried on 80 occassions, I still cant get through. There is no queing system just a message an...

Re: World Cup Ticket Success

I,like most people, have been very critical of the World Cup ticketing. Both the pricing and procedures have been rightly criticised BUT I must now compliment them. Because of serious health issues with my wife, we found we couldnt go to three of the four matches we had tickets for. I put the ticket...

Re: Aviva semi finals

Having carefully kept Saturday and Sunday free, I now learn that the Tigers match will be on Friday, the night I have concert tickets. Just two weeks notice of the change of dates.
Silly me for thinking that the authorities would consider the fans.

Re: What was going on in the Terrace before half time?

At the Exeter match, a gentleman in the Cat Stand had what I now believe to be an epileptic fit. I went to the steward and requested medical attention for him. The steward had to try and shout from the stand to the corner next to the Goldsmith’s stand to try and attract attention of the first aiders...

Re: Announcements during the match

I do think that announcements of substitutions and cards should be given promptly and consistently. The red cards were not announced at all, I dont recall Dylan Hartley's substitution being announced and various other people too. Sightlines are not always available etc etc. Think it is a bit lazy o...

Re: Ground Control to Mr Tom

........As for season ticket holders, you should remember why you purchased it in the first place and not think of scrapping it because we're going through a rough patch. Is this year not offset by the impressive and successful previous seasons (and more likely than not successive seasons)? Yesterd...
