Munster Rugby in motorway call as season ticket sales dwindle

Munster Rugby chief executive Garrett Fitzgerald has called for a motorway to be built between Cork and Limerick.

Mr Fitzgerald believes the difficulty of getting to games at Thomond Park — particularly for those travelling from the larger population base in Cork, is having a big effect on poor attendance.

Last week, Munster Rugby revealed a €800,000 deficit for the year ending June 30, 2013, and the province is projecting another loss, this time of €600,000, for the current financial year as the Munster Branch AGM was told of a €650,000 drop in season ticket sales as one of the primary contributors to the shortfall.
