Re: Matt O'Connor In...Mauger Out

Job descriptions don't matter...? What era are you living in.? Of course they matter - they define who does what and enable issues and conflict to be addressed. As for all us Mauger fans dumping the past painful failings at Cockers door - that's incorrect. The failings emanated from the relationship...

Re: Matt O'Connor In...Mauger Out

Thank you Mr. Tom, and the Board. Genius decision, if there ever was one. Let's hope MOC turns out to be better at Welford Road than he was at Leinster. Still, losing 2 coaches in the space of 4 months is pretty damned good going. That's set the bar high for others eh. But wait a minute, didn't Mr T...

Re: Catering & Bar Feedback Season 2016/17

There is no excuse, although the Head of Customer Services and Cohen manage to dream up some pathetic attempts at some :smt013. What's been described here is exactly my experience at last season's Tigers league match at the Ricoh - young staff, obviously adequately trained, quick, organised, cheerfu...

Re: Departure of Cockerill

"I leave as DOR with a record that speaks for itself and stands up against any in club rugby in the world." Quote RC. Unless I'm mistaken, the record as DoR is (taken from the press release on this website) one Premier League title and one Anglo/Mickey Mouse/Welsh Cup victory in 6 years. ...

Re: Catering & Bar Feedback Season 2016/17

For what good it might do, I've just initiated an e-petition here. Please free to free to sign it. For what it's worth BeeJ I admire your optimism, but it will be water off a duck's back, and that's an insult to ducks. That said, I will sign it and I hope many more do too. Don't get your hopes up. ...

Re: Sharples and May

Sharples and May to Welford Road...? Seriously...? Aren't you languishing in mid table..? (Mind you that's where we're heading, or is there irony in your suggestion..?). Gone on then, we'll swap you Sharples and May, for Cockerill. Fair swap...? Oh, by the way, aren't "left and right backs&quo...

Re: Exeter v Tigers - 24th December 2016

Do you feel better after that Brian? Happy New Year. D'ya know Bob, I feels SO much better after that, I felt like I've had 14 mince pies and a couple of pints of Milk Stout (available at The Blue Boar Inn, Millstone Lane, Leicester, while stocks last). Where was I...? Yes, I feel a lot better than...

Re: Exeter v Tigers - 24th December 2016

Am confused....... a frequent occurence but one that I mostly live with, but enough of that. Given that consistency of team selection - ie players growing familiar with who's playing next to them and playing with confidence because of that - why..... :smt017 #is Burns at full back, not at 10, is it ...

Re: Catering & Bar Feedback Season 2016/17

Are they trying to franchise Guinness out? Pitch Black - to give it it's full monecker - is brewed by Everards. Guinness ain't. Pitch Black cheaper, more profit. Does that mean they're trying to franchise it out...? Well we wouldn't be surprised. Onwards and Upwards. Soon be Christmas. Hooraaaay......

Oh, now we're talking..... pre-ordered and paid for, numbered tickets, what could go wrong.

I wonder if any improvement will now be made. (I'm not holding my breath!)[/quote] Let's put an end to you wondering Tom Tom, no it won't improve, it's been like this for at least three seasons now if not more. I think Ladbrooke's are offering 90/1 against it improving, I'm thinking of having a few ...

Re: Worcester Warriors at Welford Road

Part of the fall out of the performance at Sale is the importance of an authoritative performance against Worcester. Hence it makes selection a little more tricky. Do you rest a few and risk another in and out performance. Do you stick out a strong starting XV to try to put the game to bed early so...

It would change if anyone cared enough. Yes it would.
