Leicester Tigers

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...

Alex Dombrant went from Uni rugby to Prem first team. Freddie Steward went from Loughborough Students to starring for us, as did Dan Kelly. University rugby is a good standard, the BUCS league has teams with professional levels of set up. Three very different journeys there though. Steward had a st...

Oh for the days of 12,769 people heading down to Welford Road on a Monday night to watch the A League Final... https://media.gettyimages.com/id/57410244/photo/guinness-a-league-final-leicester-tigers-a-v-harlequins-a.jpg?s=2048x2048&w=gi&k=20&c=1PyTuAN1ax6Xf8LaFUJOXYY_is8FVD_VMf38BLnINq...

My advice to Ealing is:- go ahead and apply for planning permission, this wouldn't be at a massive cost and it would show the RFU they are serious. It may also attract extra fans knowing this and wishing to see Prem rugby. If the RFU stil lsay no, but the Planning Permission is granted, then the cl...

If the criteria is budget, infrastructure, fan base rather than on the field performance than you are talking about US-style franchising which everyone seems to be against. I think that's a really poor comparison. We're talking about championship rugby. Let's compare a couple of clubs, Ealing and D...

I guess this is my issue with Ealing at the moment. They are paying the players and getting in a team that is a fair heft above others in the league but, despite their statements, they are not doing anything to comply with current requirements and nor are their crowds, from my limited knowledge, an...

Sums up rugby for me, we'd rather argue about what we don't have than bring in what we do have. Two clubs with say 5k stadiums is an extra 10k bums on seats every weekend and an additional game every week for TV/Marketing/ Sponsors. Fact alert: Ealing can't even manage a steady average of 1000. The...

Is this part of their victim narrative too https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/rugby/ealing-trailfinders-wales-rfu-block-promotion-b1060825.html#:~:text=Ealing%20had%20pledged%20to%20sue,continue%20to%20play%20in%20London. They haven't actually done either of those things, have they? They haven't appe...

This club statement would suggest they do https://www.ealingtrailfinders.com/news/club-statement-rfu-minimum-standards A statement like that doesn't have to reflect the true feelings or ambitions of the ownership. That's just PR language that reinforces the victim narrative. See my post above. For ...

Simple question. Do Ealing Trailfinders honestly want promotion? Compare their attendances to teams like Bedford, Coventry etc and it seems they don’t have a decent fan base: yes they have loyal fans but look at their website, it just doesn’t look like a club that is ready for promotion though if t...
