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

I agree with Rugbygramps, this year there has been some unique circumstances and of course.a lot was new to McKellar.I have no doubt there are a few things that D.K might wish he had done differently that is what learning a new role is all about. Maybe some of the players now better understand what ...

Re: England squad for summer tour 2024 to New Zealand

Were England to select overseas players to tour with them which players based in France would be able to attend training camps and leave on tour with the rest of the party?

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

Currently if Pollard is not available we have Shillcock as an able deputy, if Shillcock starts we have no experienced fly half for the bench but we do have Tom Threlfall an England Under 18 cap who was on our bench for the Black Lions game. Other than that match I have never seen the lad play but I ...

Re: Champions' Cup Final

A great win for a proper rugby club. I too thought the ref harsh but actually on the whole I thought referee Carley had a good game.

We certainly missed Anthony Allen when he had to stop playing and Many started missing most games, with Twelvetrees leaving the replacement centres were not good enough until recently. Kelly, Porter, Scott, Kata a pretty good group. Losing Scott and Porter and adding Perese is still strong but much ...

I have watched most Waratahs games this season and have posted that I have seen little in Perese's game to excite me, in fact in many games he was replaced or started on the bench. Waratahs are a poor team, do not appear to be well coached and they have a lightweight pack. Today they were comprehens...

Re: Not a new kit Launch.... Tigers Together membership

Bringing 'Welsh clubs into the Premiership could work well I have said this for years. The WRU abandoned many of their clubs by forcing amalgamation into provinces, I have no doubt that had they allowed a little more time wealthy businessmen would have stepped in and old clubs like Neath, Bridgend, ...

Re: Not a new kit Launch.... Tigers Together membership

I was at the AGM and our club was definitely in favour of a bigger slice of the Premiership cake and fewer matches. Andrea was not in favour of frightening she personally felt matches would be more competitive with the jeopardy of relegation. I do not feel.I am wrong in saying that the new membershi...

Re: Not a new kit Launch.... Tigers Together membership

People do seem to be missing my point, I have expressed concerns about the future. I applaud the club for seeking new revenue streams. I take issue with those that say this is a plan to bring payments from fans who are unable to attend matches. In the main it is a plan to obtain yet more money from ...

Re: Not a new kit Launch.... Tigers Together membership

Things have moved on in the world as a whole since I first joined Tigers, many of the changes have been for the better but not all. As I have said I have concerns and have expressed them, I really hope they are unfounded, I really hope our team puts the club in a position where we will discover just...

Re: Not a new kit Launch.... Tigers Together membership

If it is not aimed a season ticket holders why are they emailing season Ticket holders with personal messages from.p!ayers. I have not said I want anything, I have epressed a concern over what this might come to mean. When I first became a member of Leicester Football Club the membership entitled yo...

Re: Not a new kit Launch.... Tigers Together membership

In terms of fairness you are right, but in practice the big match brings out the support. It could be a wife joining her husband for the day out of a weekend away, or a child accompanying a parent, a good time at the occasion can bring a new season ticket holder. Big matches have a way.of producing ...

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

Watson when fit is a brilliant player, We have him a contract when he needed one to continue his career, we have him another this season and through.no fault of his own he has not played. I doubt that he will be required in the future by England so if we get him fit to p!ay he should be good value. ...

Re: Not a new kit Launch.... Tigers Together membership

There is no ticket allocation for general away matches. The limited allocation I refer to is only for finals and semi finals. The past system has been along the lines of season ticket holders, a single ticket, then members, then one plus one a d eventually the general public of course many regular s...

Re: Not a new kit Launch.... Tigers Together membership

I too have received the Freddie message, as did the friend I was with at the time so I think it fair to say it has been sent out to all season ticket holders. There has been a post on Facebook from an unemployed season ticket holder showing what a good supporter he is by also signing up for membersh...
