[QUOTE="monkeypigeon, post: 307470"] <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (munstermuffin @ Mar 15 2010, 09:58 PM) [url='index.php?act=findpost&pid=441054']<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/url]</div> Dunc point your missing is simply, Munster have the demand and Connacht don't. Howlett and De Villiers are paid 90% from Munster's own income (Adidas and Toyota etc, Adidas also payed large chunk of Thomond Park bill and recouped majority in All Blacks game) Munster have a massive fan-base in Limerick (the home of Munster) but also Cork who have massive support too. Connacht can't fill stadium. Munster fill 26000 weekly in Thomond and 12000 in Musgrave (both Capacity) while Connacht struggle to get few thousand in so what sense would it make upgrading The Sportsground (which has an awful layout to begin with) But I agree Connacht do deserve more backing finacially but well at look of it IRFU see Ireland as a 3 province country it seems. [/b][/quote] Musgrave Park's capacity is 8500 and there's been more than one match this year in Thomand Park that hasn't reached capacity. 20,000 sure, but not full capacity. [/QUOTE]
