Think they were posted out on Tuesday. Nothing here today for me, will probably arrive tomorrow..
Worst thing is though that today was last day I'm at home where my ticket will be posted to. I'm away with work next two days and won't have time to get home and get ticket and then make the match, Was hoping I'd have the ticket by now..

Ordered S/T back in April - think those who have only recently bought one are being e-mailed an eTicket for Grenoble game.
I emailed the branch to see if they could email me an eTicket, they recommended me to contact Tickets.ie directly so I emailed them too but no reply so far.. fingers crossed though

Tickets.ie sent me an E-ticket

Isn't that what I said?

Tis indeed - was replying to the post directly above and missed yours, sorry!

Mine arrived today anyway.

LOVE your lineup, wouldn't have said differently (except Carr and Qualter, would prefer Gaffney and Marshall)

Its only just over 2 months ago we suffered the heartbreak of Gloucester but we are back in action next Friday.

Obviously Grenoble are likely to be a bit further down the road in their preparations with their first game in the Top 14 on the 22nd. The lads who were in the Tbilisi Cup are probably not going to be available for another couple of weeks so it'll be a bit of a patched together squad I'd imagine.

Hopefully we can get a look at some of the young players like Caolin Blade, Conor McKeon, Shane O'Leary etc. and the new signings.

While I want to start the season with a positive post, putting the game on at 5.15 is beyond crazy and is making it a non-runner for a huge amount of people. Obviously they don't want to clash with the dogs but even 6.00 (which wouldn't be ideal either) would still give time to be packed up in plenty of time. We haven't had many home pre-season games of late and pre-season this year has been handled very poorly.
