Does anyone else who has already bought Middlesex 7\'s tickets feel short changed considering the 1st Team will now be playing a frieindly in Italy the night before the 7\'s tournament takes place.
<BR>
<BR>I understand that we need to play friendlies before the season but should\'nt we also at least ensure we send a strong 7\'s team to twickers also.
<BR>
<BR>I for one would have loved to see Bruce, Carlos, Sharky and all playing 7\'s.
<BR>

<BR>
<BR>they might still be playing? they might not take all the first 15 players?
<BR>
<BR>-----
<BR>
<BR>perhaps they are planning to have a quiet night after the match on friday, get an early flight to heathrow on the saturday morning, then take the short drive to twickenham ready for the 7\'s?

<BR>Just rang the Ticket office and they wont be getting any tickets in for this game. It\'s going to be a little tricky securing tickets for the game via the internet, seeing as Treviso\'s website isn\'t even operational; have tried ringing Treviso\'s ticket office number and there main office number, yet no reply to either.
<BR>
<BR>So it may be a case of turn up on the day and hope for the best; although the ground does have a capacity of 9,000; not sure how much of that is seating though.
<BR>
<BR>Ryanair fly direct to Treviso airport which is (according to multimap.com) less than 10km from the ground. although the flights are quite late at night especially coming back (arrive in Luton at 11:50pm !!!) £10 going out on Thursday and £20 coming back Saturday + airport taxes; family of 4 will go for £238.
<BR>
<BR>If anyone has any joy securing tickets, would really appreciate knowing how you managed it etc etc.
<BR>
<BR>Cheers

<BR>It is only a half hour drive from Venice airport and Venice. Went there 18 months ago to give a talk and can confirm that Treviso is very nice. Original walled town in the centre has some classy shops so if you take the wife she will hit the plastic. I must admit I fancy making the trip

<BR>
<BR>Anyone had any joy getting tickets for this match yet or is it simply \"turn up on the day\". Is anyone actually going ?

<BR>Hi all, Saints fans !
<BR>Good luck for this evening in Treviso, even if i\'ve understood that the Middlesex Sevens is more important for you than a friendly match against our Benetton (not Benneton! ).
<BR>It will be an honour for us seeing Spencer, Lamont, Reihana and all your players. I hope Treviso may make a good match and persuade the Celtic League government to admit italian teams in CL \'06/\'07!
<BR>Ciao a tutti
