Re: Championship Clubs Promotion

Is it? What evidence is there for that? Being slightly pedantic, there are minimum requirements around ground size that have that have to be met. There are none on crowd sizes. Obviously though, low crowds = low income = going bust. Being even more pedantic, ground size is not that relevant either ...

Re: Championship Clubs Promotion

Just had a thought one of the problems with promotion for Champinship Clubs is ground size, not supporter size. Is it? What evidence is there for that? Being slightly pedantic, there are minimum requirements around ground size that have that have to be met. There are none on crowd sizes. Obviously ...

Re: Autumn Series 2024

My memory of the Sky coverage of the Premiership and Europe was that each game was squeezed into the smallest time slot that they could (often so that they could devote the maximum time possible to the great God football) and that more time was spent on "coming up on Sky Sports" than on an...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - KANGAROO MCKELLER: Do you come from a land down under? (Squad thread pt 2)

Barrett is the often cited example but this is a player who has played for the Canes at 10, not sure about New Zealand, and has a much greater all round skill set than Steward at this stage of his career. As Tiglon says Steward on the wing makes more sense, in an attacking sense if he gets the ball...

Re: JVP

It amazes me that a 29 year old scrum half who still cannot box kick properly is miraculously somehow now better than the most capped England player in history. I'm no fan of BY but at least he can box kick properly which is a very basic and essential skill of any scrum half. If anyone is deluded e...

Re: Over the cap (again)

Mmm. I expect it was well-hidden, like that other club’s overspending…. Shedhead1 here: Lutontiger - I would be very interested to know which clubs beside Saracens and Tiggers you are talking about please? Can you back it up with evidence? Bob Hi Bob, Lutontiger said "that other club's..."...

Re: JVP

As I said on the match thread, The MOM to JVP was a joke, the Newcastle SC was far better, JVP took his try nicely, but he dithers so much when he eventually gets to the breakdown all impetus is lost. He may not be a very naughty boy but he sure ain't the messiah! As the person choosing POTM said, ...

Re: Tigers v Quins (A) - Premiership - Friday 26th January 2024 - KO- 19:45

Biggest game of the season now by far! Time to concentrate on the league.... although it would be great to beat Leinster in Dublin (with some kind of miracle... with a full strength on-form team!!). I was at Lansdown in 2005 when we did! Me too. The wife sprained her ankle about a third of the way ...

Re: Harry Simmons

I think posters need to get the view on Brown accurate. If it was an unlimited budget it’s a no brainier, but it isn’t. Common consensus is that his contract ran out yesterday, so if he’s staying an extension is required which could be related to Charlie Atkinsons early departure I think that poste...

Re: Tigers v Exeter (A) - Premiership - Saturday 23rd December 2023 - KO 3-00pm

The match is on TNT Sports 5, which isn't available via Sky (unless they do it on the red button). It's not the first Premiership game I've see scheduled on that channel.
