This is there first year and not everything runs smoothly which it has not this year, i think everyone should give them a fair chance and if the same debacle happens next year ok go for your lives. Also if there is a team of interest for the UK, of course there will be more tickets sold, but interest in the TOP 14 from Blighty certainly will not fill a stadium the size of Twickers. Clermont average 18,000 Toulon15,000 = 33,000 plus others, this means an awful lot of tickets have to sold to rugby neutrals or the fans who bought tickets and there teams are knocked out.
A Munster v Leinster final in Marseille would bring the same result. I was present for the semi and the Leinster fans were there but not in massive numbers which is very normal as the expense is massive. Also a 15.00 ko is to be given thought as it means many can get home and do not have the extra expense of hotels and all that goes with it, finally as i have mentioned before the choice of 2/3 choices of Stadium for the final, it semms obvious to me if the final is all Irish , French, or English play in that country, (excuses for not mentioning Wales or Scotland as it will never happen) with a referee of the same country.
