While the two teams are not ground sharing, they are certainly crowd sharing to a significant degree. Connacht's attendance was down last night, and it makes no sense to have the two teams competing on the same night.
However, they don't necessarily need to switch from Fridays. After all when you consider how it can be arranged for some of the teams that do ground share, then it surely could be arranged that home games don't clash.
So, as the seasons overlap at both ends, Connacht look out for United's last six or seven games and ask for no clashes. Then United do the same for Connacht's last few games when the FAI publish their new season fixtures.
