IRFU scheme reduces cost of travel to Georgia game at Aviva Stadium
The IRFU is pleased to announce that it will be providing €400 to clubs who hire coaches to travel to the Aviva Stadium for the Guinness Series clash against Georgia on Sunday 16th November.
The offer, which is open to groups of adults as well as groups of adults and kids, is available by informing the IRFU of an intention to travel to the Ireland v Georgia match in a group of 45 or more.
IRFU Director of Communications Stephen McNamara said:
“Last season a host of clubs took up this offer for the Guinness Series clash against Samoa which saw over 39,000 supporters take their seats at the Aviva Stadium for Ireland’s 40-9 victory. The coach fund significantly reduces the cost of transport when supporting the national team.
All clubs have to do to secure this coach-hire payment is advise us of their arrangements and bring at least 45 people along for what is sure to be an entertaining and physical battle against the Georgians.”
