err not sure if touts will make a killing on these, with the ash cloud restricting flights and their poor home support (of late) who says 000's will actually bother coming over?

Yes, but they'll sell them to Leinster fans on eBay...

Is there any clever way we can get our hands on those tickets?

So typical of the Ospreys organisational skills and professionalism to have no restrictions like this- sure, they rarely 'know' :wink: :wink: when they've more than 15 players on the pitch :wink: :wink: or when a player is eligable :wink: :wink: or when they have enough props :wink: :wink:

Is there any clever plan? I don't want our boys to get fleeced due to Osprey incompetence.

You're nuts - there were plenty of tickets floating around for the Munster game, can't see it being that hard to pick up tickets for the final. I'll be surprised if they bring 2.5K fans.

I'll be delighted if they brink 2.5K - enough to make a bit of an atmosphere. Though, to be honest, I'd much rather they got 4k.

I mean, they can't actually protest that an away final should be part of their already good value season ticket (which is going down in price for next year) can they?

They can, and will. They'll just add it to the list of complaints which include: 'the game's on the telly', 'it's too cold/warm/wet/dry/volcanic', 'it's not in the stadium I wanted', 'it's too far/near', 'tickets are too expensive/cheap', 'the team's too Swansea/Neath/MethyrTyddville orientated', 'my sunbed bills have risen this year', 'there's a recession on', 'need to buy some hair products first', 'we're only playing Leinster, who are they? -exactly', 'we've only 14 internationals starting', 'this match wasn't included, even though nobody could have known the team would play it, and it was explained to us when buying the season ticket'... blah blah blah.

The Welsh are partial to a moan- far worse than another neighbour of ours famed for complaining in Australia etc.

Ah sure, let them sell their usual 7 tickets, we'll make our own atmosphere. :happy clapper:

Did you hear Jerry Collins, God love him and the others, played in the famous game where the crowd not only booed Leinster, and the traditional whistling and jeering our place-kicks, but also their own team after a while?

So a journalist asked Collins later 'do you feel you're letting your home support down with these performances?'

And Collins replied 'I don't think it's possible to let the home support down, as nobody comes to watch us play!'.

Fair comment after our visit- the Lions back for each side, and us visiting as European Champs- the Stadium of Echoes lived up to its name.

All our neighbours are partial to a moan...

We of course never see any slights aimed at us unfairly by external events or commentators. Not at all.
