I heard some talk about the possibility of one of the minor internationals or international practice matches being held at Ravenhill.....
Any truth..........?
If so when, who against and when are the tickets on sale......?

Mole- As with what BP says this reads like a list of gripes with no apparent acceptance that UR have done anything to assist.
You have at least had one consultation with UR on the subject, which is more than the supporters have had. I would suspect that with two MP’s on the ball that the matter will not disappear from the radar screen. Has the group for example written to UR to ask for other meeting is so how often and what was the response?
Match day usage has surely been on a par for the last few years although I accept that crowds have increased. Whilst day to day usage may increase with building work is it even apparent at this stage as to which entrance they might use for this purpose. I suspect that entertainment and corporate facilities may bring more usage but if the site was turned over to developers they would probably build 300 plus homes in the same space and think of the day to day increase then.
UR have gone a long way with its Park and Ride facilities and this should at least be acknowledged as a step in the right direction. I know of some clubs that run buses to the games and maybe this could be expended upon but it is not necessarily the domain of UR.
Is damage to property a major concern? As for litter surely the council could advise both residents and UR as how best to examine this issue.
ps as for international it is the proposed game against Italy in the run up to the RWC.

It's more comfortable to be mad and know it, than to be sane and have one's doubts.
Anyway, the only difference between me and a madman is I’m not mad….I think…
