Supporters' Club details.
The overall mission is to increase the bond between Connacht Rugby and it's supporters and to be seen as one united group improving performance both on and off the field.
Who are we targeting? The Connacht Rugby family both at home and abroad.
This includes:
- Season Ticket holders *
- Supporters who can't commit to a season ticket
- Supporters from outside the Connacht area who may only make one or two games a season but want to be part of the Connacht family.
- *Membership would be automatic for those under the first category (ST holders); or available at a cost of €20 to the other two groups.
What you get?
- Weekly (online) newsletter.
- Connacht Supporters' Club pin badge (exclusive to club members)
- Ticket to one Magners (Celtic) League game (excluding interpros). Tickets must be applied for from the Connacht Branch and collected three days in advance of the chosen game.
- Priority for major European and Celtic League games plus play-offs, knock-out phases etc.
- Occasional Supporters' Club exclusive items, T-Shirts, scarves, beanies etc.
- Supporters club forum with players and management, where pre-agreed questions submitted by Supporters' Club members are posed at a venue selected by the supporters (twice yearly).
- Supporters’ Club player of the year award.
- Supporters’ Club draw where members could win a coaching session for their chosen club/school team. Connacht Rugby would agree to make available one player and one member of coaching staff to a particular team selected by the winning Supporters' Club member. The draw could also include other goodies donated by Connacht Rugby.
- Priority booking for away trips.
- Supporters’ Club to designate two matches a season as the official away games and liaise with a travel partner to make packages available to Supporters' Club members.
- These ten points have been collated by the Branch and are an assimilation of suggestions we have made and others they have put forward. In addition the Connacht Branch has made available the use of the clubhouse facilities to the Supporters' Club and has placed the administrative services of Martin Fallon at our disposal.
