Ospreys v Leinster - Sat 12th Oct 6pm

[JB1973]

The West stand is the first stand you come to if you approach from Town (is the side where the harvester and Frankie and bennies pubs are) and where the club shop is .

It has lots of vendors in the bottom of the stadium where you can get your average match day fayre eg overpriced hot dogs , chips and warm lager!

The premier seats are just that, you have the best seats in the stadium (on or around the 40 metre line) and generally where the players families are seated.

If your on row A you'll have no one in front of you and you'll even have a small concrete ledge to balance your pint on !!

The wheel chair seats are on the concourse between the upper and lower tiers of the stand so don't worry you won't be in there.

I'll be down there for the Ulster game next weekend so if you bump this thread I'll have a look to tell you gate you need to go in and what stairs you need to take

In the process of attempting to purchase tickets for the game, I found myself being offered West Prem, Row A, Seats 105/106.
I then did my customary search online to try to find a seating plan, to find out exactly where these seats would be exactly (I roughly know where WU04/05).
I did not find the desired plan but I did find out how difficult it would be to produce an interactive seating plan for the Liberty stadium if I so desired

http://www.cs.swan.ac.uk/~csulrich/ftp/ ... ionOld.pdf

Anyone able to pin point these seats - any help greatly appreciated

Here's the seating plan from the Ospreys website which shows that, on the lower deck, there are only two premium sections WL4 and WL7. http://www.ospreysrugby.com/Page/Content/1622. So logically Row A seats 105/106 should be the front row in one or other of these sections.

Here's a more detailed plan - with a little time and patience it should be possible to enlarge the picture sufficiently to allow you to count the seats in the front row from section WL1 around to WL7 and thereby determine where 105 and 106 are located. http://www.swanseacity.net/documents/se ... 247552.pdf


Edit: Just had a closer look at that seating plan and it looks like row A is for wheelchairs so now I'm really confused!

Thank you both kindly.

I must try to file away stadium layouts for future bookings, as I always have to go looking for them everytime I book.

Any good hotel suggestions - preferably close to/in town centre?

Whilst basic, the Travelodge is v central.

They are the worst hotels ever.

3 of us booked into The Dragon Hotel. Seems to be very central

They do the job when you're only there to sleep, when you get a room for £19 which I often do for away Pro12 games who cares.

I've never, ever, never, managed a nights sleep in one. Last time some asshole let off the fire alarm. 19 sheets is pretty good though.

ok here goes

if you want something very posh head for Morgans which is the best and most expensive hotel in the centre of Swansea.
The next best would be the Marriott and the Dragon both central, (Dragon more so) both have a gym/pool , good restaurants, late night bar and you can walk to the city centre in 5 mins from either.
The Village is probably the next best is a bit further out of town but only a 5 minute taxi ride and say 10 mins taxi from the stadium, there is an ibis opposite which is a lot more basic but will do the job.

The travel lodge and the premier inns are right by the main set of pubs and bars so will be very lively but are well located if you want to get into the mix!

There are a load of b and bs in mumbles road which are fairly central and won't cost a lot.

Basically anything with an SA1 post code is going to be ok, if you want to stay away from the city centre the Mumbles area is very nice and less lively so look or anything with an SA3 post code (The Norton House and Patricks with rooms) would be the better ones there but again they more expensive

Think it will be a paper ticket as it is coming from Ospreys. Still havent arrived monday morning, the game probably wont be a sell out if they dont arrive, was able to print out my away ticket for Northampton in Dec over a month ago at least that one is out of the way. From the Ospreys site looks like we might have the North Stand to ourselves, plenty of room to move around so.

Seems like the Ospreys took their time posting them ?.

I got mine about 2 weeks ago. Then again, I ordered them about 4 weeks ago. If they don't arrive, just bring the card you booked them with and you'll be grand n'all n'anyways.

Yep but you didn't order them through our allocation. Glad I bought my tickets for the Northanpton game directly from them, have them printed off for the last month. I know its not leinsters fault but if clubs keep delaying our allocation or sending cr@p tickets like Northampton may be gong to do " it definitely seems to be the case that visiting supporters are learning that the 'naughty corner' is not the best place to watch at FG and are going direct (which our new ticketing arrangements helps)." Then it seems to make more sense to buy from the clubs themselves even if it means we arn't all together.

Ticket arrived this morning fantastic considering the Branch just got them from Ospreys yesterday . Looks like we will have the North lower stand to ourselves excellent.
