Wasps bog seats.

Now that the 2008/9 Season is finally over, I imagine that we won't have too much longer to wait now for the new shirts, as part of the pre-season build-up(perhaps when the Lions tour is over). The 'sign' will be when the existing stock in the shop suddenly goes a whole lot cheaper

From where I was sitting (near the front of lower tier at the halfway line) I have to say that Tigers did a pretty good impression of making heavy weather of the scrummaging. That said, things weren't helped by some poor reffing at the scrum (eg not spotting the persistent collapsing by the LI tight...

... to be honest, if anyone is at fault it is Tigers for choosing a home shirt design that predominently features the main colour of many away kits (ie white). As I have said elsewhere! Broad green and white stripes might make it easier to pick out miniscule players on the telly, but it does lead t...

Sorry, I'm in the grumpy club with Bill. I would have liked to have become season ticket holder from 2009/10, but for work reasons can only make the Saturday traditional early afternoon k.o., which means a season ticket simply isn't worth my while (yes, I know I could sell on the unused, but what a ...

Thanks everyone for your interesting comments. Personally, I have to say I'm perfectly happy with the Cotton Traders range, and they do last. Though the 'mud man' photo of Fran on the label does scare my youngest... (I did buy a Nike England shirt recently, the size comes up really small and it is t...

Albeit with two different main sponsors, the current home shirt design has been used for two seasons. Years ago, the same design was used year after year, and only tinkered with every few decades! There have been quite a few designs used in the Nineties and Noughties. So how fast will the turn over ...
