Next Season's Heineken Cup all threads merged here

[BJ.]

It is reported that the 2014 final is to be held in Cardiff as there is some uncertainty over the availability of the original choice Paris.

Indeed. I had an email from ERC earlier today confirming the Millennium Stadium as the venue for the 2014 Heineken Cup final ... again!

Best place for it imho. All the hotels seem to be full already or charging a night

Booked our hotel a couple of weeks ago, when the venue was already a possibility.

Allegedly Montpellier have accidentally published their fixtures on their website

Make of this what you will - I wouldn't take PR as a completely reliable source so don't go booking your travel.

Fingers crossed those are the dates. A bit of detective work and it looks like Tigers are away on the weekend of the 19th October which means I don't have to miss the wedding.

(No, it's not mine...)

MarkyH - if the Montpellier leak is correct Tigers are at home on the w/e including the 19th!!
It also shows how early the teams know about these matches & why flights/hotels seem to be already booked when us mere fans get the news

[MarkyH]

I was working on the Home - Away - Home - Away, etc pattern to the fixtures, so working backwards, Tigers are home on the 12th and away on the 19th?

I think it's the summary below those fixtures on the link where it starts to go wrong.

Either way, we'll find out midday on Monday whether or not I'll be upsetting people on the 19th for all the right reasons!!

The infamous Montpellier fixtures which were put onto their website and then taken off it are below:

Journée 1 : 12 Octobre 2013
Samedi 12 Octobre : Benetton Treviso v. Montpellier Herault Rugby à 14h35 au Stadio Monigo

Journée 2 : 19 Octobre 2013
Samedi 19 Octobre : Montpellier Herault Rugby v. Ulster Rugby à 16h40 au stade Yves du Manoir

Journée 3 : 8 décembre 2013
Dimanche 8 Décembre : Leicester Tigers v. Montpellier Herault Rugby à 15h00 au stade Welford Road

Journée 4 : 15 décembre 2013
Dimanche 15 Décembre : Montpellier Herault Rugby v. Leicester Tigers à 16h00 au stade Yves du Manoir

If they are accurate then Tigers will be at Ulster in R1 and home to Treviso in R2, R3 and R4 are above.

If the Montpellier leak is correct we will be playing them at theirs at 4.00pm on a Sunday afternoon - sounds familar Tigers fans asked to travel the furthest for the last match of the weekend

It's a conspiracy to get at us, they blame Wheelbrace for the PRL leaving the competition, infamy,infamy....they've got it in for him.....
