Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - Crocodile McKeller: Men at Work

Can't blame anyone for wanting to go home. I was just defending the city of my birth and the surrounding area. I went to Primary School ( Avenue Rd) in the Clarendon Park area, it is a little more lively now than it was then.

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - Crocodile McKeller: Men at Work

Leicestershire and Rutland have many areas of beauty, plenty of decent restaurants and pubs. The only thing we do not have is proximity to the coast. Our house prices are considerably lower than in the London area. As a rugby club we have a fine tradition, large crowds and we play on grass. Our trai...

Re: Next seasons season ticket

There have been comments suggesting people should not raise difficulties receiving information from the club on this messageboard. The benefit of doing that is that it reveals that others experience the same problem. I have as far as I am aware received all.emails sent to.me by the club but I do kno...

Re: Next seasons season ticket

As I said earlier if it is a one off charge I accept it although as my D/D was set up years ago I fail to see where the charge comes in, if it is a monthly charge on top of a large increase in percentage terms particularly when offering far less in return, fewer matches, no A League etc matter beyon...

Re: Next seasons season ticket

Tiglon is happy that they are putting prices up in order for us to remain competitive, sounds good but the trick is to increase revenue, if higher ticket prices means fewer renewals the net result maybe a loss of income. As a Direct debit customer i have received a notification thanking me for renew...

Re: Trailfinders a sad indictment of rugby

Rugbygramps is correct that things do evolve, he is a relatively new supporter having missed the skills of Phil HorrocksTaylor etc but yes we no longer have a Nissan hut, or a welding company under our wooden stand. Regrettably there is no Barbarians match at Christmas and players are now full time ...

Re: Next seasons season ticket

That actually is quite a competitive price, there are cheaper grounds but there are certainly more expensive. I also am category 4, this is a big increase but we have not had an increase for a few years due in part to lockdown and there being no matches. My first thought was that this is too great a...

Re: Trailfinders a sad indictment of rugby

The reason why there is a negative reaction to Rugbygramps suggestion of regional teams is simply Wales. Forcing the amalgamation.of historic clubs with their closest rivals destroyed.many of them and did no favours for Welsh rugby. Ireland in contrast always had regional teams so for them mo amalga...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - Crocodile McKeller: Men at Work

It has always been quite common for blind side flanker to also play 8, even at international level. It is not unusual for locks to play at 6, not all can do it but many can, Martin is certainly one who could make the change, whether he should is a different matter. Certainly a pack with Montoya, Che...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - Crocodile McKeller: Men at Work

I have seen Louis Chessum play a few times and he is definitely if fit a lock for the future, Chessington x 2 plus Henderson & Martin backed by Wells would give us a fine group of locks. For me Illione is an eight and when studies are complete will challenge anyone for that position. Reffell is ...

Re: Trailfinders a sad indictment of rugby

Average fan numbers go up because there are mow fewer clubs with low attendances, total numbers go down because there are fewer clubs. I think Tigerburnie has everything that needs to be said regarding the need for jeopardy. There is a danger that a relegated team will lose.players that want to rema...

Re: Trailfinders a sad indictment of rugby

Promotion and relationships be a factor at all.levels and at all times, jeopardy will mean relegation battles and meaningful games the chance of promotion will mean the same. If say Ealing and Doncaster were added to the Premiership but to bring numbers back to a desirable 12 and the following seaso...
