Pure Alan Partridge!

I'm pretty sure you don't need to buy a ticket for the dogs. I distinctly remember hearing the following on Galway Bay FM "Come for the rugby, stay for the bitches!".

bump, anyone know what the story is whether you need a second ticket for the dogs or not?

Any time I've gone I've just stalled on after the match and watched the dogs, but I havn't done that in a while, to be honest.

Great - thanks Sol.

Do I need a separate ticket for the dogs or can I just stay in the stadium after thematch and not leave?!

According to the IGB they are running the dogs after the match! Usually you can wander up with your matchday ticket, but they're doing some kind of promo: a tenner for a pint and a burger (according to the website).

Hi All,

Im coming down to Galway in a couple of weeks from Belfast with a group of lads for a stag do. We are thinking of taking in the Connacht v Scarlets match.

Do then run the dogs after matches on a Saturday night at the Sportsground, or is that on a completely different night? Any info would be much appreciated!

Thanks
