Ditto, please explain.
From the rolling glens of Antrim through the hills of Donegal we will stand and shout for Ulster as we win both scrum and maul from the lovely lakes of Fermanagh tae the shores of ould Lough Gall we will scream and shout for Ulster as we beat them one and all!

Not necessarily true but Ulster will know by the end of the week. Fingers crossed for Monday!

The Council are as useless as Stormont.

who put the pressure on ? my bet is D4 -- since any delay will effect the Budget of the IRFU as much as the Ulster branch and basically there is no suitable alternative venue for Ravenhill --KingSpan ? for normal games .

Ulster could play some games away early in the season and postpone a couple of early season Home games for the first couple of months but anything more than that would be an embarrassment and financially expensive. The earlier the pitch is available the better .

Is underground heating included or is it an optional extra?
Even if it saved one big game ( 700k?) it would be worth it?

How on earth could the IRFU in Dublin be in a position to pressurise the Belfast city council?
