[QUOTE="shazbooger, post: 280781"] Very. It is very easy for the Irish to sit back and observe as our union didnt try to shoe-horn us into an emalgamation of previously supported clubs. We already had loose alliegances to the provinces so it was an easy migration. The interesting thing we are seeing over here, especially in Dublin is the take up of the season tickets. I'm not sure of the exact number but last year they were saying that close to 80% of the 10,000 or so season tickets were purchased by fans with no affiliation to the traditional rugby clubs in Ireland. In other words, non-traditional fans are starting to support a team they previously wouldnt have done. With the Welsh and Scottish regions, its clear they have a bit of catching up to do but now the correct and accepted structure is in place, you'd assume the worst is over. [/QUOTE]
