Can anyone play the trumpet? That little matador trill thing they do before restarts in France would be a good laugh (if perhaps a bit embarrassing in a stadium as rubbish as ours).

Could it be be played on the uilleann pipes? [/joke]

Or indeed the Clan. Don't forget the Connacht Clan Polo Shirt, which, unlike any of the official Connacht gear, is all green:

Great call on using the two free tickets borders - I'd wager most season ticket holders haven't used theirs yet, and many don't use them at all. I plan on using mine for the Glasgow game.

And RockSalt, I think the green thing is another excellent call for the Leinster game. It'll need a hash tag on twitter too! I reckon that's going to be a belter, what with Robbie's recent announcement etc. In fact, all of our remaining home games should be savage (especially the home semis!).

How about a 'wearing o' the green' matchday? Too soon for Ospreys but for the Leinster match (the nearest to Paddy's Day) when the weather's better, hopefully.

It would be great if everyone turned up (visably!) wearing, if not an actual Connacht jersey then a green top - not worn underneath a blue or black anorak or jacket!

Leinster's the ideal match to target. It's on SKY TV, wouldn't a sea of green on the Clan Terrace look impressive - and intimidating?

It costs nothing, it's a way every fan can really demonstrate their support, I'm sure the players would appreciate it, it will build engagement with the team - and if it was successful it could become a regular feature - and the province might sell a few more shirts!

Couple of simple things, if you haven't used your two free tickets Saturday would be a good day to bring any extra support along. Secondly, the atmosphere at the Scarlets game was very good. It would be great on Saturday if as many people as possible were there 10 or 15 minutes before the game and build up the atmosphere before kick off.

We're in the middle of a very special season, and there is a real sense that if the team can continue the form they've shown all season, then there's no reason why we can't be right in the mix at the end of the league and challenge cup seasons.

My question is, what can we as fans do to help get the team over the line?

The most obvious thing is to get to the games and roar the team on from the sidelines. Beyond that, is there anything practical that can be done?

The bandwagon has plenty of room, so I'm going to do my best to drag some friends to games between now and the end of the season.
