Munster fans on high ahead of next exodus

MUNSTER might have been sent to Coventry for their Heineken Cup semi-final clash with Saracens, but neither the team nor their vocal fans are likely to be ignored following their impressive performance against Gloucester last Saturday.

Plans for another exodus from Munster at the end of this month are well under way after the Heineken Cup organisers confirmed yesterday the province will receive an initial allocation of 13,500 tickets for the semi-final.

Such numbers should satisfy Munster fans as it represents more than a threefold increase on the number of tickets available to supporters for the quarter-final clash.
