Disgraceful that the clubs participating in the final have been allocated so few tickets each. Get it sorted.

Another example of the complete ineptitude of the ERC and why they have found themselves extinct now. Good riddance!

both teams could fill the arms park with their own support
selling tickets before the semi finals is poor
no wonder the erc will be dufunked

Common sense must prevail - how can the 2 final clubs get less than 10% of the available seats to sell... madness!

It's not just ERC, the clubs are all to blame for not raising the issues earlier, and Premier Rugby are just as bad with LV final and Prem Rugby final.

Fans of finalists get the worst tickets, pay the most and aren't guaranteed tickets.

Deeply angered by the ticket allocation for the finalists.

Rather than move the game to somewhere geographically central, (The Madejski?), we now have two teams, with a Fri night KO (why?) going nowhere easily accessible, to a woefully small stadium and with no chance of travelling back the same night.
Poor organisation again from the ERC. No wonder they're being 'disbanded'.

This is a rugby game between two great and well supported rugby clubs. The fans who have followed the teams throughout the competition should be allowed to attend the final. This allocation prevents such attendance and is grossly unfair.

Quins fan here. completely support this petition. Real rugby fans should be the priority and the rugby authorities must recognise and reflect that by moving the final to a venue that can accommodate the fans

Please move it to a larger venue for increased ticket sales.

i am not a Bath or Saints supporter but I am a STH of a club that has previously reached the finals. Allocating only 1000 tickets per club is simply appalling management and it is disrespectful to the regular travelling support these clubs enjoy. The game should be moved to a bigger venue.

No transport, no accommodation, no fans, no atmosphere - have they organised a tournament before??

I'm not a supporter of either team, but if I were, I would be incensed at such a cavalier attitude as that shown by the ERC.

Thank goodness that the self serving clique of the ERC are soon to be no more. This kind of inept illconsidered action preventing a reasonable number of loyal supporters of the two finalists attending is typical of the arrogant disregard for the people who attend thier clubs games home away in UK and Europe week in week out good Riddance ERC!

The worst tournament organiser in the history of rugby has really cocked up this time.

Crazy idea to have both finals in Cardiff,plenty of other grounds more than big enough to accommodate both sets of fans plus the normal neutrals that attend.

While not being a supporter of either of these clubs I wholeheartedly support this petition. Supporters of the clubs taking part in this competition, as in any other competition, should have the largest share of the seats available. Either club could easily fill the Arms Park with their own supporters for the final. A bigger venue is certainly required.

I cannot comprehend why anyone would think that holding a final in a 12,500 capacity stadium, with an 8 pm KO on a Friday night, in a city with poor train times and with a major tournament final on the Saturday is a good idea. A truly moronic decision and the decision makers fully deserve to lose their jobs / privileges on the basis of this decision alone.

This venue clearly inadequate. Bath and Saints together could fill a stadium with double the capacity.

1000 tickest? there are 7000 Bath season ticket holders... we need more therefore move the final to a bigger ground!

The staging of ERC's Amlin swansong is a disgrace on many fronts: venue, timing, ticket allocation to name 3. Thank god for Sky - something I never thought I would find myself saying.

Holding a cup final game in a stadium that only holds 12000, when both finalist teams fill their own stadiums each week & which hold more than 12000 is ridiculous. It would have been far better to hold a 'double header' in the Millennium Stadium on the Saturday & guarantee a stadium at capacity.

This is yet another example of ERC how they have failed the fans, the clubs and rugby in general.
