Leicester Tigers

Didnt it just break your heart during the weekend quarter finals when the commentary repeatedly kept informing us where one of the star players would be going to after the World Cup and not once was the destination Leicester Tigers. When are we going to sign a real star who takes your breath away ju...

Well said Crateman - i echo everything you said and even though Im stgill supporting and going to the games as a 15 year season ticket holder I have no enthusiasm at the moment. I think that if the other clubs wont rationalise and be honest with how things are then we, saints, saracens should go it ...

Excellent post Kinoulton - Ive said the same thing on anither thread is that as long as the game is run by amateurs and money rules then we will be led by the nose to the trough and told to drink or else. I do think you are being a little tough on the Club though as my understanding is that they do ...

Good point DRC but my worry is that we dont recover from this, 2 or 3 teams get away from the rest and theres 5 or 6 of us going for that 4th spot

No disrespect DRC but going back to my earlier post shame on us all for accepting that situation as a fait accompli and that everything is alright then because money and amateurs accept that it will be alright in the end. This is supposed to be a competition. The Premiership is often berated for the...

Phil Vickery was awful again yesterday. He seemed to have his own views irrespective of what was happening on the field. He was critical of the England backs trying to run the ball out of defence in their 22 when what they were doing was taking the chance to see if anything (against Romania for heav...

Like most other fans I despair at why Grindall is playing? We dispensed with him because he wasnt good enough and he cam back two years ago as a make weight having done nothing for the Falcons. All of s udden he is first choice over the excellent Mickey Young who is an England Saxon and was one of t...

For me the absolute travesty is the resignation of a proud club and its fans to a manufactured process that we are helpless to do anything about. The trouble is that we have all said for years how unfair it is for games to be played during the autumn and 6 nations competitions let alone the World cu...

Apart from car parking with all the normal spaces gone to the footbal fans arriving earlier than us!!!

We dont all live in Leicester! Looks like its a train day!

The issue is that anyone has to be better than JG at the moment. I despaired when we got him back a couple of years ago and on Saturday I defy anyone to say he was a threat to Saracens as we all know Ben Youngs wouldve been. Consequently they didnt have to worry about him actually doing anything and...

Actually Welford Road is becoming an embarrassment with the shush police adding to the funereal atmosphere at matches................... Apart from the occasional chant of clap clap Tigers its like a morgue and you feel awkward at making any noise to disturb the slumber of so many. Gone are the days...

Geordan Murphy comments apart I think this thread has picked up yet again at the sheer mediocrity of our back line when Flood doesnt play. Scott H & Geordan are both short of pace but thinking players - in my view you can only afford to have one of that ilk at Heineken Cup level. I cant understa...

Just a thought that for me we need an international class centre.......all those named and listed are good premiership players but, with utmost respect, we havent looked like creating anything from that area of the field since the Allen/Smith partnership was cemented in by Cockers. If we want to be ...

Sorry to come into this thread so late but would like to offer my own observations why Im struggling with the dilemna of renewal - or not: a) The season ticket increase for my seat (before 31st May ) is already 12% which is exhorbitant. b) Against this Im heartily sick of no consistent first team ru...

Just as a thought from someone who was decidedly unimpressed with the re-signing of James Grindal as a replacement for J Du P and has been clamouring for Ben Youngs to start, I have to honestly say that his service and delivery were no compariosn to James' passing But hey lets give him a run...........
