Munster fans to benefit if Leicester switch Cup venue

MUNSTER fans could be the beneficiaries of a proposal to move the Heineken Cup quarter-final against the Leicester Tigers from Welford Road to a brand new and much bigger football arena in April.

Leicester are contemplating moving the game from their base to the Walker Stadium half a mile away to accommodate up to 32,000 people.

The Welford Road capacity is just over 16,000 while the football pitch has room for twice that number.
