Leinster Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread XII (The Byrne Supremacy)

Just wait until next year where they're 75% off on Lifestyle and pick them up then.

That's exactly what I'll be doing. The prices are ridiculous

Agreed on the pricing and thats what you get when you sign an exclusivity agreement so only one retailer has access to the stock. Anti competitive behaviour really. Supporters have been screwed over, sure the decision makers get free kit so what do they care what prices are charged to Joe soaps.

Am pretty sure LR get a cheque for selling the rights to produce the gear, regardless of what's sold.

Only problem with what you suggest doing, is you have to hope they have your size in stock when they have in a sale. With only one retailer now when they sell out they sell out. Adidas is much bigger than CCC so the production doesn't just start again when supplies are low, once the manufactured stock is gone its pretty much gone.

Again, LSS decide solely when there is a sale on LR gear - nobody else.

If they don't have my size when it's discounted then I won't be buying, obviously. I'd never spend 80+ quid on a jersey, even worse 60 quid on a kids one that's half the size.

If Leinster get a cheque no matter what, I'm actually happier. Lifestyle can go jump.

Leinster Rugby have confirmed that Aviva Stadium will host the first home game of the United Rugby Championship, as well as the Bank of Ireland Pre-Season Friendly against Harlequins on 10 September (KO 7pm).

Leinster Rugby has over 12,000 Season Ticket Holders, and with stadium capacity at the RDS Arena still a concern ahead of the start of the new season, Leinster Rugby has decided to give clarity to Season Ticket Holders that they will be accommodated for the first home game of the United Rugby Championship at the Aviva Stadium with a 15,000 capacity to be confirmed in the coming weeks.

In addition, Season Ticket Holders will be given an exclusive window to buy a pair of tickets for the Harlequins game, with a buy one, get one free offer in place for Season Ticket Holders only, in recognition of their support for the club over the last 20 months.

Any remaining tickets will be on general sale at €20 for adults and €10 for children.

The player version is a different material and generally unsuitable for the more rotund supporter.

Have Joe Walsh Tours been replaced for Away trips?

Is that accurate? The official email only had confirmed dates up to Jan 7th.

Is from the leagues official Instagram account.

Didn't see the fixtures when they first came out but seems they were missing ones, the website crashed (taken offline presumably) and then they reappear.

So does that, pretty decent schedule for us getting the bulls first up with us fully loaded and the bok still being in camp.

So could be 75% capacity for outdoor venues from next week and apparently possibly even more in the weeks after, should make the opening game against the bulls a cracker we'll finally have some atmosphere!

Exclamation Marc

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117825070#Comment_117825070

Bulls game is in the Aviva so atmosphere might still not be close to the full whack just yet.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117825907#Comment_117825907

The atmosphere does tend to fall a bit flat, especially at Leinster games there.

Having said that I've had no live sport in 18 months and would cheer a game of tiddlywinks at the top of my lungs at this stage and I'm sure there'll be a lot of like minded individuals such as myself.

I think it will be electric for the first few games back

Yeah_Right

It will good to get back to discussing important rugby matters like the PA announcer at the Aviva, whether people should be allowed to get up and get a beer during the match and are those attending "real" fans or just event junkies. Cant wait!!

As a man with a notoriously small bladder I say let nobody be mad at the guy getting up as it may be a medical condition. Though I can see that arriving back with an armful of beers might suggest otherwise.

thats just bad planning !!!

select seats in the middle of the row 😁

Those seats are reserved by the beer run guys!

Tickets for the Harlequins pre season friendly now on sale for €10 to STHs.

Clegg

If I've heard Michael Martin correctly outdoor events should be allowed to go ahead with 75% capacity. So there should be decent crowds returning to the RDS soon.

I've renewed my season ticket, but I think I'll wait a bit before going back. Still a bit anxious about mixing with big crowds after so long.

Unless the beers are Harp or Carling's. He may have been filling the bottles.

I'm getting charged €20 for the buy 1 get 1 free :(

Sheep Shagger

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117830203#Comment_117830203

It's poorly worded....was €20 plus the booking fee for my pair too.

The 'normal' price is €20 per ticket.

Think they've fixed the KO time, was saying 3pm but is actually 7pm.

Dave_The_Sheep

Poorly worded ... or deliberately deceptive?

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117827298#Comment_117827298

I'm a real fan alright.

I dehydrate myself 4 days before a game so I don't have to get up, sit arms crossed silently lamenting why the team isn't playing like the unspecified good old days and in a break in play audibly moaning why thousands of people in my vicinity don't have the same thought processes as me regarding "game day decorum" 😂

Can't wait to get back!!
