Next Season's Heineken Cup all threads merged here

[BJ.]

Word has it there will be a few 1000 Munster Fans in South of France the same weekend.

Steve mate, have you been to Perpignan before? If not, you must visit the USAPistes clubhouse on Rue Traverse de Piã. If you make it, please pass on our regards to Sebastian (aka Doblepoy), Johan and Stephane and let them know le petit Sebastian is still doing well here in sunniest Derbyshire. I'll email you some photos of these guys.

A brilliant place to imbibe and stuff one's face - love it!!

Here's the fixtures with another Sunday teatime kick-off in southern France!

[TigerAlex]

Looking at the fixture list, the word 'shafted' springs to mind.

[tigerburnie]

Not a single Saturday day time game, they don't like us do they?

[Mrmatt1]

English Teams Saturday Fixtures Rounds 1-4:

Northampton - 3
Saracens - 2
Harlequins - 2
Gloucester - 2
Exeter - 2
Tigers - 0

Certainly seems they don't like us tigerburnie.

[tigerburnie]

They must see us a threat and are doing their utmost to ensure our fans find it difficult to get to the games. Having said that the opponents fans won't be delirious either I guess.

That scheduling is a complete disgrace, particularly the away games - 8pm Friday evening in Belfast and 4pm Sunday in Montpellier. And no public transport for many for the Friday evening home game.

Just confirmed our reasoning for giving up our STs this year.

Ulster play all their home games on a Friday night, got nothing against that one.

I can cope with a 3 o'clock on a Sunday, doesn't make much difference but the fact our home game against Treviso is on a Friday though is a complete joke! It won't even be the main game broadcast, just on the red button which makes it even worse.

[Smurphswillgetya]

Just the way I like it. The world against us, our backs against the wall. Come on boys let's go get them!

[doublecarpet]

Well I've booked my flights to Montpellier. Short hop over to Perpignan on sat for the Munster game!

[GT1]

DC - Which flight have you booked? I'm struggling except from Gatwick!

[yellow_balaclava_hunter]

Absolutely disgraceful scheduling.

The club should refuse to play at those kick of times especially Friday night games and definitely should refuse to host matches on a Friday.

As for Ulster. I have said time and again. I do not care if it is their 'tradition' to play on a Friday. It is a tradition of cheating and should not be tolerated by this club.

The fact that we have also agreed to play a pre season match with them when they do this kind of thing is absolutely disgusting, we should have no association with a franchise like Ulster.

We went a couple of seasons ago mate. We played them on a Sunday Afternoon, didn't complain about the kick off time, just came back with 5 points

I'll certainly call in and say hello to the guys in Perpignan for you Jon. We booked our hotel and flights last Tuesday, a pal in the know gave us the heads up fixture wise. Where are you stopping in Montpellier?

the club has no right to refuse, all they can do is request, and hope.

TV money decides who plays, at what times, simples

are you boycotting the Treviso game then ?

Ulster have been playing since 1879 !!

one can only assume there is something much deeper in your hatred of everything Ulster, that has nothing to do with playing on a Friday ?!
