Where did you read that? As I understood it, the ticketing system has changed and all tickets are bought from the host club.

Re: Dan Mckellar

Yes, I think our core of players is very strong - if we don’t achieve to our potential I fear this group could split up pretty quickly. Does anyone think that our current squad could have lived with either side in the Champions Cup final yesterday? The physicality, the pace, the stamina, the handli...

Re: Challenge Cup Final: Gloucester v Sharks

Gloucester quick out of the blocks but for no reward. A team that starts frantically, I always feel, is the weaker. When we were in our pomp, we just managed the fury and then dominated the rest of the game. When we were completely rubbish we were one of those teams that started frantically and then...

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

Because I don't like the pretend "investment" model it's marketed with, or at least was. I prefer sponsorship deals where the club don't need to provide and FAQ and explanation the week after the deal is launched. By the time Socios arrived at Welford Road, it already had a stinking reput...

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

Excellent post GB72. As with all things it’s someone being brave enough to make the first step to start asking the important questions. I wonder just how in favour the welsh regions, and their fans are of South African inclusion in the URC, the Scots also for that matter. In terms of tv figures it ...

23 in total leaving Ealing, which is pretty eye-catching.
Have they given up on this 'we want promotion' thing and are just going to be a normal Championship club.
Or are they just running out of money?

Re: Is Tigers emblem unique?

There was a very excitable chap on here some years ago which some of you may remember. He was furious that Kent County Cricket had changed their logo and it included a curved shield. He was trying to prompt Tigers to sue. I wonder if he's calmed down yet.

Re: Please get behind your team v Exeter

One thing that is becoming more common, and Roots was doing it loads, is the flankers moving up in the scrum and either engaging the opposition props or the opposite flanker (when both do it). I watched the other games highlights this morning and Bath did it on their pushover try against Saints too...

Re: Please get behind your team v Exeter

At last! Remy time. I think the question of the season for me is "Just how well could we have done this season had we kept 15 on the pitch more often?" Congratulations Saints. (Spits in bucket) League champions. I don't recognise the farce that is the play offs. In soccer or God's own spo...

Re: Please get behind your team v Exeter

Lots of dropped balls and poor kicks but also lots of ambition and effort. I really want to see it continue until the final whistle.
