    There were restricted view seats for less than €55. I've gotten them before, and all you really can't see is one corner of the try area

    I haven't been to a 6N game in two years, last time was when we hammered Wales in 2022. Where I was sitting, there was loads getting up and going to the bar, all through the game. Was sick of standing up to let someone in/out every five minutes.
    it a massive issue in the Aviva, which is easily solved. I would suggest alcohol should only be sold before the game, at half time and after the game. not while the game is in play

    In fairness that is true for the football games too, it was one of the reasons I decided not to renew by season tickets a few years ago. I was fed up of game after game of constantly standing to let people in/out of the row and having the view blocked with people coming and going throughout the game. What annoyed me more were the people who would arrive up to 10/15 minutes late and then also leave 10 minutes before the half to get drinks, this would be repeated in the 2nd too. If you want a drink to watch a game then stay at home or go to a pub.

    Back in the good old days when I started going to the footy people (I mean lots of people) would pee against the back wall on the South Terrace at half time and it'd flow slowly down the steps around everyone's feet.

    I just thought it was all normal!

    Too many bandwagonners?
    "It’s tough, man, I sort of understand that people have work tomorrow as well,"

    What sort of job do you do that you need to preserve your voice for the following day? Town Crier?

    Do rugby fans have to get their missus to phone into work on the Monday, to explain that the Oul Fella won't be in the office today, because he partook of a couple too many choruses of FOA yesterday?

    Worst. Excuse. Ever.

    More alcohol is the solution, apparently: https://www.rte.ie/sport/rugby/2024/...no-harm-doris/

    I'm suggesting that so long as you have Guinness or other drinks companies pushing money the way of the IRFU, you're not going to get extra restrictions on alcohol sales, even if that would be otherwise desirable, as you say.

    Once again, there is no problem that cannot benefit from some Homeric wisdom:
