It has been announced that the Stade de la Mediterranee in Beziers has been selected as the venue for the semi-final of the Heineken Cup game involving Castres and Munster.
Commenting on the decision to stage the game at a venue which is the furthest possible point from Irish shores, Munster team manager Jerry Holland said,
” I am surprised at the choice of venue but particularly disappointed for Munster supporters. We had asked ERC to consider the logistics from a supporters point of view in the hope that they would opt for a venue that would be easily accessible. That plea has been ignored and I am extremely disappointed for our supporters. From a team point of view getting to Beziers is not a problem. But our supporters face a gruelling and expensive journey. They have made huge sacrifices to support us in the past and that support has been crucial to the progress that the team has made. I hope that as many as possible can make it to Beziers for the match.”
The team will be fully prepared for the challenge and it’s one we are looking forward to.”
