The Ealing bums on seats argument falls down when you take into account their attendance against Tigers wasn’t much bigger.
Also there are a number of championship clubs who average larger crowds. Even Ampthill and Caldy regularly have 100s in for their home games

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - KANGAROO MCKELLER: Do you come from a land down under? (Squad thread pt 2)
Imo Bath are a good comparison. One of the historic power houses of English rugby results have not been great, at least partially down to internal promotion and the wrong coaching set up.
They have now found the right man and have stuck with him, this is his 3rd season, and that is showing dividends

There are so many factors involved. New Coach in a new Country The mess around Dickens Rugby World Cup New Season structure, PRC games first Large gap in the season during the 6 nations. 3 clubs less than previous seasons These aren’t excuses these are facts/reasons not just for Tigers but why the p...

Re: Transfers & Rumours Non-Tigers 2022
Bath confirm Molony I know Barf fans are excited but to me honestly this feels like a signing we would've made pre Borthwick. Good squad player but just a solid level starter. I guess it depends on how Bath view him in the depth chart but looking at their locks I would say he's prob gonna be a star...

Apologies I got my Loffreda and Meyer mixed up.
As a matter of interest has anyone seen mention of Mckellar job being in jeopardy other than by a couple of people on this forum

Also bearing in mind that for all the pre-game optimism in this thread on the McKeller thread his sacking is being openly discussed and I suspect will only intensify if we get a spanking from Saints and/or don't make top 4. Such is the fickle nature of sports fans. It’s being openly discussed on he...

Where ever we finish this season I would be amazed if McKellar was sacked before being given time to show what he can do. Success is not an overnight thing, where there is overnight success is usually when the previous incumbent was actually better than thought and impatient Directors lacked the pa...

Re: Championship Clubs Promotion
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 am not sure that I am against it when it comes to bringing teams in to the premiership. The teams have to be fit for purpose...

Re: Championship Clubs Promotion
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. If the existing 10 clubs where selling out 15k-25k stadiums every ...

Re: Tigers v Saints (A) - Premiership - Saturday 20th April 2024 - KO: 15-05
Their flakiness came from lack of defence and poor scrum both of which they appear to have fixed. Yep Not sure why 1 result would make any difference to Mckellar career for most people In the one sense this is a game we would expect to lose given they are top of the league and on a high - and we ha...

Re: Tigers v Saints (A) - Premiership - Saturday 20th April 2024 - KO: 15-05
Saints were a real flakey team in recent seasons. Not so now. We are the ones looking flakey. I have hope but my head says this is going to be difficult. If we do put in a performance and somehow win it, it would be fun obviously but also potentially transformative for our season and for McKellar's...
