Leicester Tigers

All,
Bills funeral will be on the 29th February and the family have asked for family flowers only. Bill's family have requested that anybody wishing to make donation in memory of Bill should please donate to the Matt Hampson Foundation.
'Keeping the Faith' even after our last two game!

Already booked accommodation for Bath w/e as bank holiday it may sell out quickly.
Never had a problem with Bath fans after going down there every year for recent matches. We did have one idiot in the crowd who got a bit excited when they were stuffing us but what club does not have a few of those?

How many times have we had a thread of over 100 posts with no arguments or wind-ups. Bill would have been impressed.

Ancient Chinese proverb say "Dylan playing on emotion is an animal shortly to be carded"

Would it be possible for one who knew him well, like the OP, to email Gary Sherrard about a mention on matchday. I don't know where he actually sat, so if it could be labelled or somesuch, flowers could be left there? I don't know, jsut feel that members like him (and Noddy etc) deserve recognition...

The passing of a friend The Boss and I first met Bill in Durban on the first night of the 2009 Lions tour hosted by Tigers. During our 2.5 weeks in South Africa with a few days at Vic Falls in Zambia, about ten of us formed a group that spent considerable time drinking, eating and talking together....

A huge shock to us and I know it is not a rugby matter but I am sure you would all like to know that Bill W passed away on Friday. He will be sorely missed by family, friends, Tigers community and on this forum. Please raise a glass to Bill when you next have a bottle to hand.
Bill RIP

It is endemic and I the ref does not spot it then the TMO should tell him and it should be sorted out with cards at the time not citings after that even with bans may not effect future European games.

Very happy with Owen, Tom and Freddie as our 10's - not Cips would fit the club culture

Good stuff - well done

he will no doubt get himself banned again and when this happened hopefully Tom Youngs will Laugh at Eddie Jones for an hour down the phone before telling him he made his bed now sleep in it Mind you Tom increased his own card count last weekend in an effort to be considered by EJ I actually missed ...

It would be nice if the TV money for Euro Cup was distributed based on the number of games played by the Premiership, Pro 12 and Top 14 teams with a multiplier being applied for the knock out stages. Even more interesting would be to pay out the TV money based as above but only on games won. Mind yo...

Wrong choice IMO. Dylan is beyond changing at this stage of his career. He is a powder key waiting to go off and do something stupid at a critical time. He has been significantly been helped by not playing much this season and so has avoided recent misdemeanours. You can be a hard player like Johnno...

Clearly the boys had major provocation today when the officials take no notice of gouging.
An alternative theory is that Tom decided he needed to up his card count in order to be considered as an England captain.
