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...

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

My fear is that when Tigers return to playing in finals we will receive our usual 7000 ticket allocation to distribute amongst our 12/14000 season ticket holders in the past a season ticket was also a members ticket. There were a few people for whom a S/T was impractical and for a nominal amount the...

Re: Is Tigers emblem unique?

The Tigers emblem is registered and therefore should be unique. Originally the design was a single colour design but as the Tiger's eye has to be darker than the outline the single colour was not appropriate for all backgrounds. This was pointed out by the original designer following a match when he...

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

I did play on the front row and when at tighthead looked forward to tall.looseheads, my job was to disrupt and lower the scrum to limit the advantage they had of the put in. Their job was to hold me up to retain that advantage, if I was at loosehead against a tall tighthead the ambition was to get u...

Re: RIP Sid Going

Sad to hear of the passing of this great player.
I do wonder if now auto-correct will stop changing Youngs to Goings every time I type the word, it hasn't done so yet.

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

First announcement could be of who has been promoted from the Senior Academy to the full men's squad, of course there could still be a release of two to be announced, then we will.have a better idea of where the gaps are. I agree that apparently we now have only Pollard as a specialist 10 that is a ...

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

Both Green and Edwards are about 28, neither has p!aged a lot of Premiership rugby, Edwards I think was with England 7's for a lot of his career. I don't see why either of them would be useful.to us although I agree we need another back up 10. Pollard is our marquee player, if we are happy with him ...
