:( I'm on the waiting list with Stuart Kirk but not heard a thing, so feeling pretty pessimistic at the moment about getting a ticket. Looks like I'll be watching the game in a pub in Limerick. Is there anybody else out there planning to go without a ticket anyway? If so, any ideas on the best place to watch the game?
It would be disappointing not to get a ticket, but still should be a good craic anyway, the Munster fans that have come over to us in recent years have been great fun, so should still be a great weekend!

i would suggest peter clohesstys pub of jerry flannerys pub ( players father owns it )
tigerstotty - we're on the Manchester flight, same as you. Will see you there! Staying in the Travelodge - a bit further out than some but a decent deal when we booked it and looks to be in quite an attractive location on Galway Bay. Can't wait!!!
Seems the Travelodge is a popular place and will be over run by Tigers supporters.I'm there as well. Though as I mentioned in another thread they have an 'overbooking' policy like planes, on the basis some people might not show.
Still no tickets for us either. We have been Tigers supporters for 17 years and ticket allocations have always been fair. I support the use of waiting lists but - they shoud be open to all to put their names down - it should be publicised on the website and opened to all comers at the same time. We have lost out this time as we were told ticket info is always published on the website and by the time the waiting list was announced on the website it was clearly too late. We have no tickets and with two teenagers and a 10 year old with hotel accommodation flights and no tickets cannot see that 4 nights in Limerick is a particularly attractive proposition - to say nothing of the expense. Yours - very upset.

It is not bad.Newly refurbished and slap bang in the City Centre.It is about 75 steps from Jerry Flannerys pub which will be hopping on fri/sat.Enjoy your trip,You are very welcome to Limerick.Cead Mile Fáilte. :D
I have an awful confession (for which I will be drummed off this forum for life no doubt!).
Though I was on the waiting list (and have been since about October / September), it's been so long that at Xmas I succumbed to an invitation from a friend who's a Saints supporter (I'm sorry, I really am!) and am now going to see them play Biarritz.
So when I had a call from ticket office yesterday morning I decided not to take my tickets. I briefly wondered whether to buy them and then offer them on sale here but thought it was far fairer to let them "roll" onto the next person on the waiting list.
I know patience is a virtue and I should have waited! and I know that I am a bad person going to Franklins Gardens when we aren't playing there!

Galway Bay??? You are a good way out then. Thats in Connaught not Munster. Are you sure your not on the Ennis Rd?
Tigergirl, see you on the flight! There are 4 of us, you can't miss me, I currently have tiger coloured hair! (The real tigers, not green red & white!)
not sure if this is what you are looking for - not official or anything...
If you're talking about the ones you see on the Crumbie (and me in the stand http://www.lejog4matt.org.uk/background.html) I'm afraid they don't make them any more. We need one to replace Mrs GS's hat that went missing a couple of seasons ago. We suspect it went home on a Wasps coach Grrrrrr. If any one finds a new source for these please let us know.
Opportunities always look bigger going than coming.
