Well that must be one of those laws that exist solely in print rather than in reality. I'd file that along with other laws that are ignored as they're not policed, such as drivers on a provisional licence must be accompanied by a driver with a full licence, no learners on the motorway, rotweillers and pitbulls must be muzzled and on a short lead etc etc. The law books are full of laws that are never policed.

I tried to read it, really, it was just too boring.

[Donny B.]

F**king Pigs!!!!

Eh....pardon, merde gendarms!!!!!

[Donny B.]

Just thinking off the top of my head but could the Horse Show house be approached on this? A few benches out the back?

[sheepshagger]

BYO wouldn't really be suitable if you are using a pub (and it's facilities)

I've heard something is being planned, venue and details TBC

[mfjoc]

Anything happening on this or has it died a death?

Not too sure what's going on with the picnic. However as a back-up plan a lot of us are taking the day off and are planning to meet in Kielys pub in Donnybrook for lunch and a few early pints. It's a big pub and does very nice food and is only about a ten minute walk from the ground.

Then about five, we'll head down to the Horse Show House which is the main supporters bar and is right beside the ground.

We've love to see Clermont fans in one or both pubs, so we can get the atmosphere going early, so please spread the word.

I have been waiting 6 weeks for this pic-nic, so regardless of the fact that there is nothing formally organised, I for one will be enjoying wine and cheeses of the Auvergne

St Nectaire,
Cantal,
Bleu de Laqueueille,
Fourme d'Ambert.

Does anyone know where to get the aboveforementioned? I dont think they came in my tesco finest cheese platter!

Recommendations would also be appreciated


Mount Leinster

[Hickiefan]

Sheridans on South Anne St is a good place to start.

Should we not be bringing the best of Irish though?

[mtleinster]

Nobody brought any coddle when we were playing the Dragons or Scarletts. There is a more international feel about playing a H-Cup quarter final against the french. I want to savour the atmosphere

There is always an Abrakebabra on site for the best of irish

[Slipper1]

I'll bring some Tayto.
