    Never been a problem in the past getting tickets, even on the day

    Flying into Bristol at 7.35am on Sat morning, hire a car, and take a ~2 hour drive to London. Staying in a mates place and drive back to Bristol for 3pm flight home on Sunday.

    Got 4 of the €98 tickets in the lottery this PM.

    I wonder could we limit ticket and travel plans for the final to one thread?

    Mine should be fun. Booked a while back. I'm in Dundalk so Belfast Heathrow was cheap. So I'll be sitting on a plane probably packed with Ulster fans dressed in Blue. Haha
    Going to one hell of a fun flight.

    Mate lives in Twickenham so board is well sorted. He's a Munster fan though so he's still a bit "sore" about it.

    I'm literally dying for may 19 now!

    Does anyone know if Paddy Wagons is going to London by bus on the day? I did it last year to Cardiff and it was pretty cheap and cheerful.

    Also, how many games in a row have Leinster played without losing, is it 13 or 14? What is the record in the competition?

    They lost to the Ospreys a few weeks ago. Before that I think they went about 19 or 20 undefeated.

    Is there ANY idea of where the majority of Leinster fans will be sitting? I've been offered two tickets but they're up in the heavens (upper stand, behind the posts)... I figure they'll do something similar to last year and have the majority of the team allocations near the corners infront of the cameras for tv viewings...

    There seems to be a fair few in that area. Hrmmm... I dunno if I should grab these tickets (upper south) or just wait and see if I can better ones.

    14 in that case, last loss was away to Clermont in 2010. No idea what the record is, but it couldn't be much more than that.

    Would Leinster be the first team to win the Heineken Cup unbeaten?

    No. I'm not sure of the stats, but I remember this debate popped up after Sky said that Saints would be the first team to win all their games in a Hcup campaign if they won... but someone else did it before I believe.

    Brive did it in 1997 but it always seems to be forgotten and I expect we'll see broadcasters talk about Leinster being potentially the first side to unbeaten just as they did last year with Northampton.

    We're they not saying last year that NH would have been the only team to win all their games rather than just being unbeaten?

    They would have said something about it by now, I haven't heard them bring it up.

    The 3 in 4 is probably more siginificant though.

    Since the introduction of home and away fixtures in the group stages no one has gone unbeaten as far as I am aware

    They were mentioning on sky sports during the match that we would set a new record if we beat clermont

    Brive won all their games too. As a side note, they had a young Cedric Heymans on the bench which makes him, to the best of my knowledge, the only man to have 4 HEC medals.

    Yeah, there was a post on the OLSC facebook page yesterday with details. IIRC it's €120 return this year, starting at Kielys at 12:30am Friday night/Saturday morning.

    Went with them last year myself too, no need to worry about accomodation so it's handy enough.

    Yeah but Brive only played 7 games that year, no one has ever won all their games since the current 9-match format was introduced. And of course, no one will do so this year.

    Is it Heymans who has this funny record of winning loads of HEC medals but having played just like 30 mins in total (all 4 finals)?

    Will Brad Thorn not be potentially setting records? Two world cups, a potential HC and potential Rabo.... He'd only be short the curry cup really!

    True..

    Always good to keep achieving I.suppose. The man's an incredible player really. Hopefully he can stick the double under his belt too.... I'd say along with his fantastic pay cheque he's pretty fascinated by his time here. He looked pretty over whelmed by Sunday...
