As part of a trial, 600 supporters will be seated around the 18,211-seater Kingspan Stadium. The club consulted with local government, Belfast City Council and the IRFU on how to allow fans attend in order 'to test a safe and manageable return to operations at Kingspan Stadium'. Commenting on the announcement, Ulster Rugby CEO, Jonny Petrie, said:"Following a number of very challenging months for us all, I’m encouraged that this weekend will mark the measured return of a limited number of spectators to Kingspan Stadium.
