Leicester Tigers

Okay, we've cleverly had our rest week whilst that lot down the road were busy. The time has come to focus on the biggest match of the season - I really think this one will either cement our top 4 credentials (whisper it .... top 2?), or will write the season off as a world-cup-interrupted-settling-...

Dolly, Porter and Scott all gone.

Whilst I can understand each of the decisions individually, that leaves a decent sized hole in the squad, particularly at centre.

I know the fans don't matter any more, but it's ridiculous to expect the paying punter to sort out inter-continental travel plans with less than a week's notice.

Anyone know the size of the crowd?

All the best for the season

They announced it as 20k and change.

This is last season's pricing if that's useful for anyone.

My ticket has gone up by £40 (cat 4), which is 10% and pretty 'reasonable' all things considered I think.

Where do the laws say you are layer on side by the opposition running the ball 5m? Other than under Law 10.4c, an offside player can be put onside when: An onside team-mate of that player moves past the offside player and is within or has re-entered the playing area. An opponent of that player: Car...

I (deliberately) bought tickets in the 'away' end for the Sale semi-final last year and had a thoroughly enjoyable time in the section. I think it's something we / all rugby clubs should look to do more. I agree that it could potentially become a problem if fans start behaving like [censored] and st...

We’ve won 6 of our last 7 Premiership matches. At start of Nov we lost to Quins n Sarries back to back. We’ve just beaten them back to back. We’ve just beaten the 2nd team in the league away - despite our pack being seriously weakened. Our 4th choice tight head made his premiership debut and did an...

So, let's be frank, there is only one result happening. Whilst this is undoubtedly true, it'll be a, packed house down at WR, there's beer on sale, it's about ten degrees warmer than it's been all week... I'm looking forward to getting down to the ground with some mates and cheering the Tigers on. ...

I'm certainly taken aback by this!

What about the 8 knock-ons before Lenny came on?

Just home. That was a thoroughly dominant win, we played them off the park.

On another day, without buttering our hands first, we could have scored six tries easy.

It's starting to come together boys!

Worst performance in two or three seasons there. Anyone blaming the ref is kidding themselves, we imploded from about the 4th minute and never got our heads back in the game.
