for the quinns game next week i think that someone on here should call the branch and find out what day and time the lads have there last training before the match. my guess would be thursday afternoon.
as many as possible then should meet up and watch them train and also parents could bring children to see there hero's and us adults be there to give the players possitive feedback and show them that they still have plenty off support behind them

A good amount of room during the Toulouse match at the Bohermore end of the Clan Terrace and - until just before kick off - the same at the Leinster game. Ten minutes before the K.O. last Sunday the two girls on duty just gave up checking tickets and 100+ (mostly Leinster) fans came in. Still comfortable enough, for the most part.

agreed ronan,

was at back near bohermore end for leinster game with my son(age 4) we had loads of room and i had him sitting on barrier. was concious of people in front of barrier as a result and they were packed in like sardines.There was no obvious way for them to get behind barrier and it was too packed to go under.
Down side was getting out after game.

a lot of work has been done so far but still lots to do.

I think the problem with the terrace is the steel barriers are too long - there should be more, shorter ones. It gets wedged down the front, when there is still plenty of room up at the back, because people can't find a route to the back.

Then if you are up at the back and you want to go out to the toilet during the game (or for a pint maybe!), people get thick as you have to push your way out.

A supporter is a support IMO and a Leinster fan with a soft spot for Connacht and who actually supports us is better than some Connacht natives who don't give a flute and only come to one/two games a decade.
There is an allocation of the Clan Terrace for general sale alright so you should be able to get one if you are quick on the draw. You won't be the only one in the hunt.

The real problem with the Clan Terrace at the minute is that there is no section divisions, so everyone crowds towards the centre line. This is why, when sold to capacity even, there is always more room at the ends and people in the middle will always feel the squeeze.

nothing against you or your mates but few games when the clan is full, its jammed and not able to move.
the toulouse game was a sell out and maybe the branch packed to many than they should of in and it was very uncomfortable for alot of people


There are usually tickets available direct from the Branch office for the Clan Terrace, that's where I got my extras for the Leinster game. Didn't bring any Leinster supporters on them though...

As for the Toulouse game there was plenty of room either end of the Clan Terrace so most likely a stewarding/sheep wrngling issue rather than overselling it. I was standing just outside the Bohermore/Clubhouse 22 at the back of the stand and it was very comfortable. Seemed to be too many people near the front and the entrances though, wouldn't have fancied being there.

I know this question is asked regularly but I dont know the answer. I am a Clan ticket holder. Want to bring a friend, (2 if I was very lucky) in for the Quins game.

Is it possible at all? It would be their first time at Connacht games. One is a Leinster supporter who has heard about the Clan terrace and really wants to experience it. ive started to look for them early anyway
