It bugs me that we seem to insist on holding back good seats and trying that sell the worst seats on the ground. I know it puts some people off.

Hope we can still get close to the 40k


There was definitely standing tickets v Toulouse, as I was standing. Some people may also remember the court case after the Toulouse lock took a swing at someone in the crowd after the final whistle.
Don't mention Rory Hutton. I did once but I think I got away with it.

Was the standing in the East then?

I have a good seat in upper East for this. A win this weekend could really boost sales again. Might not speed up the Munster sales though!

No it was West side as normal. I recall there was a ruck between some Toulouse players and our characteristically partisan and raucous library dwelling fans around the area of their dug-out. They certainly didn't like it up 'em!

Are West 13 to 23 sold out or did they not go on sale? Seems bizarre to open the ends of the stand but not the centre, but I'd amazed if they sold out 13 to 23 already.

Think they will be kept for the hospitality peeps to wander out from the suites

If I remember rightly, the bottom of the west wasn't sold last time. I wonder if they're restricting the standing area to between the 22s if they're selling some of the lower west extremities.

That was worth the click just to see the visually unique athletic specimen that is Chunk Jacobsen!

I hope I can be allowed an off-topic post, but Chunk is one of my all-time favourites

So that is the four sections closer to the middle in the West Stand effectively sold out. Meanwhile seats behind the posts do not seem to be moving.

Likely the West Stand seats more attractive than behind the posts so bought first? And still seven weeks to go..
Certainly looks like quite a lot sold since announced 15k had gone.
