It's a fairly straight forward drive : Galway - Belfast 3 hrs, head to Dublin, hang a left and go straight for an hour.

More like 4.Won't see much of the action from Newry

Anyone want to pick me up a pair of terrace tickets? I don't expect many will reach general sale up here....

Connacht Season ticket holders will have the chance to pick...

You'll definitely get a ticket. Connacht get a 25% allocation so that is 4500, which we would be lucky to sell for a home game. They're spread around the ground though, so there might be some competition for the preferred West Terrace area.

What are the odds on tickets lasting until half 5 tomorrow, I'll be at work and will have no way of logging on to get them, and the thought of trying to explain to some of my family what a computer is might kill me.

Buses are run by Citylink and CR, but if you're interested in a bus from not-Galway, so click the link in the email.

Fairplay on the buses lads. Might take up the €15 offer.

5:35pm, my source was pretty close! Should be a good day. Other game on before at 3pm.

The Errigle and Pavilion bars on the Ormeau Road are good for pre-match and within walking distance to Ravenhill as is Malone RFC on the Cregagh Road.

€15 return is a savage deal. It would be at least €50 by scheduled bus.

We are delighted to announce that we will be working with our Official Coach Partner, Citylink, to provide supporter buses to and from Belfast on the day on the game. These buses will run from the Galway Coach Station.

As a thank you to our loyal fans, Connacht Rugby will subsidise the cost of bus tickets which will ensure a price of only €15 per person return. We will provide a link to pre-book these tickets tomorrow also.

Due to the phenomenal level of interest in this fixture, there may be demand for an extra bus route from Castlebar. Please follow the link below to state your preference on alternate routes and we will work with Citylink to plan the appropriate trips. All tickets must be pre-booked and we will notify you when available.

For anyone who hasn't gotten this email as of yet, make sure that your email spam filter is set right. Tickets on sale from 10 tomorrow morning. Make sure ye get your spake in fast. West is the best spot to go Terrace if you're happy to stand, west grandstand if not.

Excitement is building now!!

17.35 is just about early enough to make a day trip doable.
But also gives you a clear run at the evening if you want to stay up in Belfast for a night out.

That sucks. So his last home game could have come and gone. Hopefully he plays some part, but I guess there'll be a send-off anyways.

Yes, with Rory Best playing his last home match it'll be a big occasion,which adds to the need to know match date to buy tickets. Not only has Best being an inspirational Ulster player but to Ireland too. It will be a special match.
