I hope the four passengers the captain left behind on the 23:55 flight from Dublin to Luton last night were not Saints fans and they managed to get home today.

Moral of the story - make sure you know what time the gate closes.

Well you cannot say the Leinster Supporters supporters of Leinster Rugby are not passionate, this was only the warm up!!

We may have been outnumbered yesterday but we still made ourselves heard.

Absolutely loved Croke Park and the atmosphere (although more toilets may help)

What I really loved was the no alcohol in the bowl rule, which meant there were not constant interruptions from people doing beer runs.

My worries about taking a late flight were unfounded, here with over an hour to spare.

Quite an impressive stadium COYS

I've just apent half an hour attempting to cancel TNT Sports on my Sky subscription.

It was such a painful process and the agent who dealt with my request was such a pain with his attempt to upsell (I know it's his job) I came very close to cancelling the entire SKY package.

I really do have this serious fear that if the Champions Cup Final is Leinster v Toulouse then Dickson will get the gig .... he seems to do no wrong in the eyes of the powers that be

Currently being deafened by some woman called Jess Glynne, who thinks she is a singer.

Well that's a big dampener for Saturday's game at Twickenham.

Karl Dickson is the referee - makes it more of a lottery

Croke Park will be using the GAA ground regulations for our semi-final, which bans the drinking of alcohol in seats.

Brilliant, I'm happy not being disturbed by constant beer runs or worrying if I'm going to have beer spilled over me.Official Northampton Saints Supporters Club 😇 Tom Vickers Northampton Saints 😇

Multiple reports coming out of South Africa that following the issues the Bulls faced ahead of their QF game, EPCR are looking to add an extra weeks break between the round of 16 and Quarter Finals next season. A step in the right direction

Well that didn't take long - should be a cracking atmosphere on 4th May

Received an e-mail from Quins this evening canvassing interest for showing their semi final in one of their bars for those who cannot travel

Have Northampton Saints 😇 consider looking at this for fans who cannot travel to Dublin, perhaps in the Rodber bar?

One not very happy dog.

Happy bunny ....... flights booked for Dublin

Was initially a bit miffed when I saw it was a 17:30 KO but luckily there's a flight from Dublin to Luton just before midnight and Croake Park not far from airport Northampton Saints 😇 Official Northampton Saints Supporters Club 😇 Tom Vickers
