Would they be the same if it was a Welsh club moaning about the English grounds??? answer is No!!! The clubs didn't moan when Wales held it 2 years ago so what's the difference now. Cardiff City Stadium wasn't a sell out!!!

Why not hold the final in a different city to the Heineken Cup final? Spread the wealth a bit.

ERC have shown contempt for this competition by not using a suitable venue. To only allocate 1,000 tickets to each side (a figure which is dwarfed by the number of season ticket owners both clubs have) is an absolute disgrace.

Why decided to host 2 finals on the same weekend in the same City and why have one final on a Friday night? I can understand tickets going on general sale months before the event, however, to only set aside less than 2,000 for the teams who actually make the final is ridiculous. We are now in a situation where supporters from other Clubs are selling their tickets on sites such as Stubhub and Ebay at inflated prices; for example today I saw 2 terrace tickets (face value £20 each) on sale for £125! ERC Rugby have shown just how incompetent they are with the organisation of such events and it's the TRUE rugby supporter who suffers because of it and they haven't even had the common decency to apologise for this fiasco! Good bye and good riddance ERC Rugby!

Am planning to be in the UK to see this game, it is such a big deal for me to see Bath in a cup final, ridiculous that I am competing for a handful of tickets to do so.

Supporters of the Challenge Cup finalists must not be penalised by the low level of interest in Cardiff Blues. I suggest that the venue be changed to Cardiff City Stadium.

#3: - The difference is that Cardiff Arms Park is much smaller than Cardiff City Stadium and also that the finalists, Northampton and Bath are two of the better supported teams in England. If the venue is not changed many season ticket holders who wish to attend will be unable to do so.

No wonder ERC have lost control of European rugby competitions, not sure things will get much better though.

Shocking that loyal supporters of both teams in the final should have to struggle to get tickets and have to pay inflated prices for hotels etc just because of HC final in the same city the next day.
Where is the care and concern for REAL rugby supporters?

It needs to be moved to a different ground ,as no one can get hotels etc unless willing to pay 750.00

Fans of sides competing in the final should have precedence for tickets for the final. They are the people who have supported the sides through all the preliminary games

Here's hoping The ERC actually do the right thing for true rugby fans for once. (we can always live in hope).

I have travelled to Bordeaux, Newport & Wasps to support my team in the Amlin Challenge Cup. Due to the small number of tickets available for the final I may now not be able to support my team in the Final.

Come on ERC do the right thing for true rugby supporters and move this to a venue where the fans of the Finalists can get in. They will create an atmosphere that will make the event the show piece it deserves

Less than 900 tickets available for each club in the final is a disgrace. This shows no respect for the fans of rugby who are, I'm sure you'll agree, its lifeblood.

What sort of atmosphere will there be if less than 20% of the spectators care about the result

This ludicrous decision to only allocate a tiny number of tickets to the supporters of two of the biggest rugby clubs in the country shows the utter contempt of the organisers for the supporters of the game.

Its crazy to think that many many loyal supporters from both sides that have made the efforts to follow their teams through the sun and the rain, the good and the bad - will not be able to go and enjoy what hopes to be a fantastic game. - and all because of poor planning by the ERC. A lot of unhappy people from both sides....Someone Please do the right thing and move it to a bigger venue.
