Hosted by Cool FM presenter, Pete Snodden, the panel of speakers included three European Cup winners in Jonny Bell, Bryn Cunningham and Dave Ewers, with Ireland international and club captain Iain Henderson completing the line-up.
All four sat alongside the famous trophy, which was on display for supporters to take photographs with after the forum.
The evening started with an Ulster welcome for Dave Ewers, who was attending his first fans' forum after joining the club from Exeter Chiefs in the summer.
The big flanker cheekily grinned when pressed by the host on how much he enjoys doing press and public speaking, but added that he was happy to speak with supporters.
Ewers talked about how his time at Ulster has went adding that it has been "really awesome" and that the switch has been a positive move for both himself and his family. When asked what lured him to the province he joked that it was down to the size and reputation of the club in the professional game, and shockingly, not the Belfast weather.
Ewers said that the notable difference between the Gallagher Premiership and the BKT United Rugby Championship, was the travelling that was involved in away matches, as before in Exeter, most of the away games would have been bus journeys away.
Ewers said his own Champions Cup win with Exeter Chiefs in 2020 was a special moment, but one with a tinge of jealousy of the 99', as it was won during the covid-19 pandemic, where fans were not allowed into sporting grounds at the time, adding; "We won it in front of nobody!
It was disappointing but it was a special time too. We focused on winning our home games first and foremost, we got a massive win away at la Rochelle and that gave us self-belief that we can go and do it.
I see it with our team now, the boys attack these massive games and we can beat these strong teams. We had played with each other for years, its similar to here and that can only breed good things."
Up next for a grilling was the player of the match from that famous 1999 win against Colomiers, Jonny Bell, who found it hard to believe it had been 25 years since the famous victory in Dublin.
Ulster's Defence Coach said he could "barely remember the final itself, other than snippets and the sea of red and white in the stadium".
On the final, Bell, remarked that it wasn't about how the team performed on the day and that it was about getting over the line, adding;
" The game wasn’t a spectacle, but it was winning rugby in a final. It was an amazing feeling after the final whistle, it was like a Leicester City run that we went on and we didn’t feel we would lose it.
We all felt the French were intimidated by the sheer amount of support we had at Lansdowne, it felt like Ulster took over Dublin that day!"
Ulster's now Head of Rugby Operations and Recruitment, Bryn Cunningham, was a young man at the time he lifted the European cup as a part of the 99 squad and said that while his memory of the time is "hazy" he can look back at be immensely proud of what the team achieved 25 years ago.
"It was a strange period and a different time. I can’t describe how difficult it is to win that competition, more so these days as more teams on a higher, competitive level now but we are still incredibly motivated to win again.
We weren’t a brilliant side in 99' but we got onto a roll and a few things happened for us. I don’t remember anything about the final apart from the sea of red and white, it felt like there was no way we would lose. I felt the opposition knew that as well."
Bryn also added that getting his first cap alongside his older brother Jan, was perhaps the proudest moment of his playing career.
Bell added that when looking back, that rugby had changed so much in 25 years. "The game has evolved so much since then, the standards are better, these guys now are proper athletes. Every team needs togetherness, it needs that tightness and we had that then.
I believe in that win or lose you want to see passion. I try push that in my coaching to the guys. Humph (David Humphreys) ran the collar and dictated where we went around the pitch, but we put in a lot of work around that. We had no egos in that team and were very together."
Fast-forwarding to the now, club captain, Iain Henderson, was asked about how the team were feeling ahead of their own huge clash against French opposition, as the team are preparing to take on Toulouse at a sold out Kingspan Stadium this Saturday.
Hendy said "As a playing group, we love European nights, we get excited to welcome a European team and all want to play them. You want big games, big moments and that excitement around playing a big team you don't usually go up against. This squad will never shy away from a challenge."
The reliable lock was proud of how the side have dealt with challenging matches in recent times, with wins against Racing 92, Connacht and Leinster showing how Ulster can take on top opposition and win.
"We talked about Leinster and the way teams treat them on pitch. We felt that they were a bit rattled after 15 mins of game, almost as if they expected us to roll over. We know we can rattle big teams but stringing together games at a crucial times of season is very difficult."
Hendy was also asked about his involvement with Ireland during the 2023 Rugby World Cup campaign that ended in a Quarter-Final defeat at the hands of New Zealand.
Hendy added "Personally it was an awesome experience. It was a low moment of my career when we lost but the atmosphere in camp, the management, the players and those who even weren’t being selected were great.
It’s so difficult to string games together and I felt we went into it in prime position. We did it for five games and lost the next one."
With a sell-out crowd on Saturday, Hendy concluded that the players know that the atmosphere created by the home support can drive the team on in the huge games.
"I feel that momentum is infectious when you're on the pitch. When things go flat in defence it can be infectious but that can be the same in a positive way. We talk often enough about what make you guys stand and scream in the stands. It could be Jacob Stockdale on a high ball, a scrum going well or of course a good try but we cant muster those from nowhere!
We know that if we lift the atmosphere and the fans lift it, then you feel that energy, it's infectious" he added.
The evening concluded with fans of all ages asking the panel questions on a wide range of topics including working on set-pieces, in-game management, spicy plum's impact on the team, training and playing on the new artificial pitch at Kingspan Stadium and what advice to give to a young rugby player in school.
After the microphones were set down for the night, fans grabbed pictures with the panel and posed alongside the 99' cup that will forever stay in Ulster folklore.
