Munster Council exploring ideas to pull in crowds

MUNSTER Council chairman Sean Walsh says council chiefs are working on plans to entice families to attend their games next year.

With the economic downturn, there are concerns that attendances will suffer in 2011 and while individual ticket prices are set centrally, provincial councils are given power to offer value packages.

Walsh said: “We are always looking at what we can do to help people coming to our games, particularly families, on a continuous basis. In relation to that, we have family packages, and as an executive we met for over two hours on Tuesday to discuss the options regarding packages for the coming year. We are very conscious of looking after families that want to go to our matches and to make it cost-effective to do so.”
