LEO CULLEN HAS stressed the need for Champions Cup organisers EPCR to price tickets for Leinster ’s semi-final at Croke Park appropriately, with the province hoping to draw a bumper crowd to Jones’ Road next month.
The English Premiership side advanced to the semi-finals by beating the Bulls on Saturday night, but hotel prices in Dublin could impact the size of the travelling support for the trip to Croke Park, which has a capacity of 82,300 – over 30,000 more than the Aviva, which was sold-out for Saturday’s win against La Rochelle.
“Obviously it’s an EPCR event, it’s not a Leinster event. That’s the big thing you’s ask, because you want a proper crowd there. Last season a crowd of 46,823 saw Leinster beat Toulouse at the 51,700-capacity Aviva Stadium, with 42,076 attending Leinster’s 2022 semi-final win against the five-time European Champions.
