Morning!

There's a decent gang of Leinsterheads making the trip up for the match tonight. We're leaving Dublin about 2.30 so should be there about fivish. Will the ground be open that early (and more importantly the beer tent

)? If not, is there a pub near Ravenhill that's rugby friendly?

Oh and thanks again to the Ultimate Ulster Chick for the directions to the ground.

ground usually open 2 hrs before ko and beer tent will be open then

you could try the Rosetta - about 10 minutes walk from the ground. they are v rugby friendly

It says on the Other Place that the ground's opening at 6 tonight - by the time you get through rush hour in Belfast, you'll probably be here on time

Okay thanks. Good option if we're there early.

Hopefully there's a bank machine around there too. Had sterling at home but forgot to bring it with me this morning!

Cash machine at garage opposite the Rosetta bar

You should just be in time after negotiating the traffic jam at Newry after you come off the motorway

Re cash machine. If you're coming up by train theres one in the station.

If you're travelling by car depending on the directions UUC gave you you should pass a few on way to Ravenhill but I honestly can't think of any in immediate vicinity of ground. Most petrol stations around Belfast have probably an ATM on their premises.

Enjoy your trip.

Rooster, we must have passed each other in the ether

Most of the large filling stations north of the border have a cash point, but watch out for building society machines they give crap exchange and charge a fee, stick to the BankLink ones.
If all else fails you will probably get away with â‚¬ notes at the beer tent and get Â£ change, but no guarantees that you will.
