Why do they do this though? Terrible organization.

They could at least announce when the fixtures will be announced.

Provided it is by Friday I dont think it will be an issue.

Hotels and flights won't be gone as nobody has been able to reserve them. Three days extra saving won't be the difference between a good and shoite time.

The worry is will they be out by Friday. I'm not so sure they will.

Several weeks ago I had heard they would be out yesterday (16th July) from a journalist I know. Right now there is no definite answer.

Check out the ticket sites for early notices.

A month before Jeff fixtures were announced.

HEC horse-trading is more difficult.

What would be the lead time to book a Sarries v Munster game in Massachusetts?

We need to see at which venue they would play. I am sure the tickets will be on ticketmaster. If the stadium is 30,000+ capacity I wouldn't worry. One of my good mates works at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. I will put him on the case. My club here in New Jersey is already talking about going up there. Garabbing a bus or two.

Thanks mate.
So we re-convene this discussion end of next week. On top of that, if we assume a couple more weeks to finalise negotiations with the stadium of choice, then we should have a plan by mid-August.

I think it is safe to say preliminary discussions with one or more Boston area stadium has already begun. And the HEC schedulers will probably take into account the opportunity to take one of the big matches off-shore for some major exposure. Has to be an October match, otherwise it will be too cold. A December match in Boston can easily be -5°C with snow. Lots 'o snow.

I really, really sincerely hope that Ulster do not draw Saracens in any future Heineken Cup. Seems like there's too much of a risk of the game being played outside Europe!

It's not particularly inconvenient for both fans and the team themselves. From the players point of view, if you have to fly long-haul to America or South Africa or somewhere then fly back to play another do or die HC group game six or seven days later surely it's disruptive to your preparations. And obviously for the fans it's pretty much ruled out as a viable away trip.

I would be spitting blue murder if I was a Sarries fan! One of the biggest games of the season, gone Shocked

That's a good point Notch.
I was getting excited because I decided to spend another year here in New Jersey. From where I am Boston an easy 4 hours drive. Especially in a bus with a bunch of juiced up clubmates who finally get to see some top level Rugby. For Sarries fans, it can't be good.
