Cheers. Mine's in Row 13, seat 218. As long as all the tickets are in same block of seats then it'll be fine. Worst comes to worst I'll sit on my own.

Cheers. Do you know if all the Leinster supporters are in same area of that section. i.e. is my solitary ticket likely to be in the same section of our supporters as the tickets you got?

Well the tickets I have are allegedly in the Supporters Club section. However, Section 23 is solely for Leinster supporters anyway so that ticket won't be surrounded by Toulouse fans.....

That avatar of yours is ever so slightly disturbing. What is even more disturbing is the thought that you might have given names to those sheep.
Even more disturbing is the fact that you might have taken that picture yourself!!!!!!

And finally - it's too feckin big!!!!

Cheers Socks. Just how noisy was it out there?

well thanks to the 'greatest fans in the world' <SUP>TM</SUP> the atmosphere was amazing. there were 2 supporters clubs from toulouse 'le huit' and i don't know the name of the other - they were located in sections 8 and 10 respectively. the drums they use are pretty cool as they don't hammer them incessantly for 80 mins - only when they have possession i think (if anyone was at toulouse usap in dublin you'd get the idea). the siren only blared out the odd time - when they were inside the 22 or looked like they were pressing for a try i think. we were at the opposite end so wasn't exactly deafening but from my experience in san sebastian last year, bodhrans are a waste of time if you are trying to make a racket to counter that lot.

Are they like most French clubs when they get behind though? Even at 41-3 last weekend in the Stade there was booing of the team if things went wrong. And I remember fans running on the pitch to try and attack Poitrenaud when I was at the Heineken Cup final....

I dunno.....didn't honestly think we'd get this far to be honest, but now we're there I think this team could give almost anyone a game.

Tickets arrived safely to the furthest outpost (I think) of Leinster Rugby.

I was in Toulouse for the Munster game in 2002(freebie) and had seats in the Balcon Presedential. Went for the same(now thats affluence)

My blurry recollection is that its a great stadium with good views from all areas.

Just a word of warning. They had set up "official" Heineken drinking halls in a basketball court near the ground. It was cr@p and we found a lovely little bar not far away where all the locals gathered before and after the game.

Great spot.
