Tempted. Very tempted. Might day trip it for the crack
Re: Ponty v Leinster A
This competition tends to get a bit lost in the mix in Ireland as the games are held on the same weekends as the Heineken Cup games. The fact that Leinster don't have any other match next weekend might mean a few more will go than would usually turn up for these games. Also means we might be able to field a slightly stronger squad than usual as we've taken nearly 30 man squads to many of the HEC matches this season.Pontyboy34 wrote:Hi gents - just quick question to find out if your are ring any of your army of fans over to ardis road on saturday to watch the semi final of the british & Irish cup against again the mighty Ponty?? hopefully you are as the Irish side tend to have a very passionate following just like us

Re: Ponty v Leinster A
Just checked my original mail, appalling spelling, apologies - I asked the question as I was aware that Leinster were out of the HC and we would more than happy to hosts as many of you as wish to make the trip - it was a cracking game between us 2 seasons ago when we met in the pool stages.
So bring as many as possible to make a great day of it - and a pint is only £3
best regards

If we're talking ~€150 and not a lot more I'd definitely think about it.Grumpy Old Man wrote:Could be interesting...Morf wrote:Rough cost of this?johng wrote:Tempted. Very tempted. Might day trip it for the crack
Re: Ponty v Leinster A
Dublin to Bristol Ryanair at €106 return looks ok but not sure from then on with trains/buses.
Re: Ponty v Leinster A
Ah Gickpipes. It was 19 each way when I looked a few weeks ago. Forget it so. Factor in trains etc and not even the ridiculously cheap drink can make it up.
Re: Ponty v Leinster A
Ferries don't seem to seem to suit too well either if one could tag along with someone driving.
Seems to highlight an issue the the B&I draw . . . .
Imagine there would have been a good Donnybrook crowd.

Re: Ponty v Leinster A
Cant you guys hitch a ride with the team and follow their route/arrangements? its going to be a cracker - we (the mighty Pont) took 2000 down to Penzance! I am sure you guys can match that and we had a cracking weekend

Re: Ponty v Leinster A
I was mightily impressed with the vocal prowess and resonance coming from the handful of Pont supporters at Donnybrook a couple of years ago. I imagine the atmosphere in Pontypridd will be excellent - and most certainly loud
Re: Ponty v Leinster A
Keep an eye on the flights - they may go back down again and if you and one or two others were going I'd be happy to go with you and to drive a rental car to allow you to have drinksjohng wrote:Ah Gickpipes.

About €100 return to Bristol even right now - were under 100 earlier.

Almost booked it myself at that price but then I remembered I had a wedding party the night before.Xanthippe wrote: So annoyed now that I didn't book last week when it would have cost €40
Ponty fans and players were a good laugh when they played us last season, would have been a nice trip to make alright.
