Munster chiefs allay supporters’ ticket fears

MUNSTER rugby officials have moved to reassure members of the province’s supporters club regarding ticket allocations at the new Thomond Park.

The Munster Rugby Supporters Club Committee issued a statement yesterday referring to the aim, cited at a meeting in February 2006, to grow “the Supporters Club to over 10,000 full members — all with season tickets and Heineken Cup home tickets . . . the Supporters Club was advised that in the redeveloped Thomond Park, there should be capacity for supporters club members to achieve that objective.”

Yesterday’s statement adds, however, that the number of tickets to be made available to full members of the Supporters Club in the new Thomond Park “cannot still be confirmed for some weeks, as all allocations have not yet been finalised.
