Free admission to Derry game

[lefty]

Ive one, why not let everyone who has a six pack of beer shoved done their pants get in for free? Yes were targeting a specific segment alright, people who follow a different sport. Get ready to help these lads when they shout on scrum, and knock on. At least a gold old fashioned kick in the head is the same in both sports except they call it a ruck

I've been asking on a Leinster forum (never thought I'd see the day I'd be posting on one!) if anyone noticed the advertising and one poster said he hadn't but he had been handed a flyer offering a fiver off if shown on matchday. It seems we're going all out with this one.

But rugby is a bandwaggon sport anyway, they're used to attending games once in a blue moon.

At the Munster v Perpignan game reading in the programme about the 10 year tickets to new Thomond Park stand - guy behind reading it over my shoulder & remarks "...jeez you'd have to go to a lot of games for that..." (ticket entitles to 3 ERC & 4 Celtic League match tickets + option to buy others...)

You just know that there will be people who will wear their Leinster jersey going through the turnstiles and then take it off as soon as they reach their seats.

So you're going to let a bunch of glory hunters in for free wearing the shirt of a team that plays another sport, but charge the usual bunch of Derry fans who make the 8 hr round trip to Dublin 7 or 8 times a year 15€ in - way to reward loyalty and passion, guys

If the Derry lads want to wear Leinster jerseys, nothing's stopping them. It'd be better than the Superman outfits they usually wear.

This is about us increasing our home support. Derry aren't getting put out in any way at all.

I like Derry anyway, but the fact that it seems to be the most rugby free city on the Island is a big plus ....I can't see them in the national costume of the southside tosser somehow; though they could drop by the library and steal the shirts off the backs of a few Ronans and Conors sleeping off the night before in Bondi Beach i suppose

We are in a rugby heartland. Oddly enough a lot of our fans also like rugby. We're trying to get rugby fans who don't pay much notice to the EL so follow us. It mightn't work but it's a novel idea.

I too like Derry and hate rugby; but ultimately this isn't about them, to be honest. This is about what Aberdonian Stu said. Derry fans aren't losing out on anything.

There are already 2 teams playing in East Cabra ...... we don't have that privilege

I have the utmost respect for Derry fans, particularly those who make the away trips, but it's got nothing to do with them.

Incidentally, is it just free adult tickets that are going or can anyone avail of the offer??

Any local teenager who owns a leinster shirt also owned a home made fake ID card to get into Wezzo.

Touché!

I can see a father bringing along two of his sons and two of their friends and then being asked to pay E20 at the gate for the kids while he gets in for free. That's the way it sounds in the press release - that couldn't be the way we'll implement it though?

What's the weather like today?
