[Kofi Annan]

Dear Season membership seat holder,
Just to let you know there are still seats available to purchase in the New Stand for the Edinburgh game, should you require any additional seats for clients, or family and friends.
The fixture next Friday evening is without doubt the biggest European game since the heady days of 1999. A win at home against Edinburgh will keep Ulster's quarter-final ambitions alive - it is certain to be a massive occasion
Don’t forget as a season ticket holder you receive a special ‘purchaser’s price’ for any additional seats you require.
If you have any queries or would like to book additional seats please give me a call on the number below or drop me an email.

Best regards,

Tickets Galore

Well it is to go a bit above freezing at the start of next week plus a bit of sleet and possibly snow so perhaps it will thaw the pitch

[Rooster]

Ulster Rugby has hired a massive marquee and heat blowers to ensure next Friday night's Heineken Cup clash with Edinburgh beats the big freeze.

It is planned to erect the marquee on one of half of the pitch at the weekend and utilise the blowers inside.

Early next week, it is planned to move the marquee to the other half of the pitch which is covered by sheeting.

Ulster's Magners League match with the Ospreys this Friday was postponed on Wednesday due to of a frozen pitch.

The pitch had been covered with plastic sheeting, but it was not enough to protect it from the prolonged freezing conditions.

Officials from the two clubs will now attempt to find a new date in the fixture schedule for the match with Thursday evening dates during the Six Nations campaign a likely option.

Meanwhile, the Ulster players are now using the indoor 3G pitch at the Sports Institute for Northern Ireland at Jordanstown and a similar facility at Ashfield school in east Belfast.

now what happens if the stade game is cancelled?? Is there a ruling that means that they forfeit the game if cancelled? If so, then we could be back in the group!!!

great innovation?

to me it's a half-assed half-hearted effort, only covering half the pitch? what's wrong UR, cant find a bigger tent?

I'm going to say its possibly Boss given the apparent ankle strapping on his left peg.

Much harder to tell since the dreadlocks went the way of the dodo.

[Neil F]

Would also assume it's Boss - seem to remember an interview with one of the other players who said that Boss always wears t-shirt and shorts at training, regardless of the weather.

[Rooster]

Thats Isaac, strange one is that he is actually wearing trainers as he usually runs around barefoot. Hardy wee fecker from the mountains down under.
