Leicester Tigers

Hotel Brooklyn brand was created and operated by Bespoke Hotels. They sold the brand and the two hotels to Kew Green Hotels, who operate a number of hotels under IHG franchises. The Hotel Brooklyn brand is being scrapped, and both properties will be rebranded under IHG's Voco. KGH bought the leaseh...

I think 6 match is the minimum ban for that action, and with previous red cards even though the most recent is 3 years ago, I'm guessing he wasn't eligible for a discount I think his problem with that is he's had one "clean" season, and that was last season. The three yellows was in 21/22...

The hearing document talks about 4 bans including this one & "an additional" ban for totting up. I make it 2 red cards, 1 citing dismissed & the totting up ban. So where is the extra suspension it mentions? They don't deign to list the previous in the hearing notes. I thought he h...

The stinking reputation in football you mention was because there were people who thought they could get rich quick by gambling on the price of the fan token or on the Chilliz crypto coin and ended up losing lots of money and then started to cry about it. The Tigers fan token which was available fo...

Talking of potential signings, with Pollard obviously the incumbent 10 and Shillcock proving a capable deputy if required, is there a chance to take a bit more of a punt on a back up 10. Someone like Pat Pellegrini from Coventry; really good in the PRC and champ last season, late call up into the To...

Why do you say Socios is rubbish? Because I don't like the pretend "investment" model it's marketed with, or at least was. I prefer sponsorship deals where the club don't need to provide and FAQ and explanation the week after the deal is launched. By the time Socios arrived at Welford Roa...

Very true.

And as the late Tony O'Reilly found, that money can disappear very quickly.

Ultimately is just tapping into all available potential revenue streams.

I don't think there are any implications for the club at all. A new operator acquired the hotels and decided to rebrand with a far bigger franchise.

It isn’t just Aled conditioning work either, it was that larger than life character that he brought to the team environment that hasn’t been replaced. Only need to watch some of the recent England videos to see the positive effect that has This. Aled brought the squad to life. He wasn't a court jes...

Really should be an Aled Walters thread. I have ad nauseam pointed out that SB wasn't the loss, it was AW. Players who are megafit don't knock on, they reach those passes, hit those gaps, make those tackles etc., and win games in the last quarter. For various reasons we have become adept at losing,...

Personally I don't have a problem with this, does it further segregate supporters? Possibly but I don't see how its any different to season tickets and certain supporters being allowed to go to forums etc while others wouldn't even know they were happening. We've seen in the past that cash flow has...

The good news is a European kit is a thing next season.

Sorry that Whitley took flack from the fans, he is young but the question is why did he come over to the Crumbie and argue, he should have stayed away over in the middle? Presumably he came over to thank the fans for attending the game, copped an earful, and responded, as emotions were no doubt hig...
