Thanks for all the info so far. Are there many pubs in the centre of the town with Sky Sports?

Ulster fan coming down to the game next weekend looking for some info. Where are the best pubs to meet connacht fans on the Fri night, pre and post match on the Sat? Also what pubs will be showing the other Pro 12 matches on the Fri/Sat? Also would be interested in info about pubs showing the Masters golf?

Many Thanks

Hey Neill.
The only place I know that tune in BBC alba or bbc Wales is the dail bar. Also Galway United play sligo rovers on the Friday and there fans meet in the dail bar after which make a good atmosphere. You could consider going to the football? Might go myself if I'm free

On match days, pre and post game, most Connacht fans i know go to the an pucan which is the second pub from the ground on the city centre side. It's always full of rugby fans on match days with live music later on with few players hanging around.

Hi Neill

We're sponsored by the Dail Bar, smack bang in the middle of town. They'll be showing most of the matches, can't guarantee the Friday evening games, but they've been good enough to put in BBC Alba and Wales for us before. They've a few tv boxes, and there are plenty of spots in there so shoun't be too much of a problem. Decent grub in there too, not to mention the pints.

On match day itself, we usually congregate around the Clan Bar, which is the far side of the pitch from the enclosed stand so the stewards might not let ya over.

Can't see a fully second string team going over, partly depends on what kind of attitude Glouster have going into it. It's tough to see who'll be rested with three big games back to back to back. Robbie should be back for the Glouster game, which might liven things up.

And welcome to the forum!!

Fri 10 Apr 19:35 Glasgow Warriors   v   Cardiff Blues BBC ALBA
Fri 10 Apr 20:35 Benetton Treviso   v   Ospreys BBCW
Sat 11 Apr 19:30 Edinburgh Rugby   v   Munster Rugby BBC ALBA/TG4

First time down at the Sportsground, have a ticket for the enclosure. Should be a good weekend. Will be interesting to see what sort of team you put out on Fri night in the Challenge Cup with no Champions Cup spot available for Pro 12 sides. Do you think you will prioritise the inter pro the week after?

Many Thanks
