Re: Next seasons season ticket

Looking on here and on social media, as a terrace dweller it appears I have been a lucky one with a 23% increase!! I expected the worst following the email from Andrea with the list of excuses before the announcement which was good communication but followed swiftly by the poor communication of not...

Re: Leicester Tigers Women 2023/24 - Vicky Macqueen in 'The Magnificent Fifteen'

Does anyone know when they will announce the information about Season Tickets for the women’s team. As I’ve had a dual season ticket this year have attended about 50% of the women’s games and really enjoyed it, but have a bad feeling getting both (as no dual ST available) may be cost prohibitive ne...

Re: 2024 Six Nations Chat

Years ago if the ball fell off the tee, the kicker could ask the ref if he could replace it, should the clock be stopped if this happens, force majeure?

Re: 2024 Six Nations Chat

Agree backrow is unbalanced. But I actually think Roots could be the sort of no.6 England need. In that SA mould what Ewers used to be for Exeter, a more physical carrier where we can look to dominate opposition packs. Best no.7 is being played out of position. Get him at openside and then literall...

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, Ch...

Re: England A v Portugal - MWWR - 25th February 2024

I think there is a genuine risk this could be embarrassing, and people are going to feel short-changed. Those in the know warned about the likely lack of strength that Portugal would be able bring in the middle of a tournament, in a slot where clubs are not obligated to release players. Yet still, ...

Re: 2024 Six Nations Chat

England were very poor again today in most departments, SB has nothing to lose now I really feel he has to change his gameplan. He was trained by Jones, he has inherited his style and its based on FHs like Ford and Farrell, both kicking fly halves. We just dont seem to be able to develop a running g...

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

George Martin our next No 8 anyone? I think his tackling is best suited to a back row, he is quite mobile and bulky and Im sure he could replace Weise and leave 2 x Chessums at lock.

Re: Trailfinders a sad indictment of rugby

Ring fencing has killed four clubs, how many more are you planning on letting go to the wall, fans will not follow a game where there is little or no jeopardy, protectionism has failed to work anywhere. Ringfencing didnt cause their downfall, all 4 played at stadiums that conformed to size etc, mos...

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 seas...

Re: Trailfinders a sad indictment of rugby

As usual some very interesting points made. Ealing and their owner are obviously ambitious, I do feel their fan base might be an issue. Yes Tigers were missing most of their big stars, but an Ealing win would have got them a home final in a National competition you would hope that would have attrac...

Re: Ealing PRC game info

Great comments as always Ian and once again …”hear, hear” No team has the divine right to win any game including Tigers. It is rare that any players is never “up for it” that’s just a nonsense cliché We battled out a win with the best we could muster We were far off our best in terms of personnel a...

Re: Ealing PRC game info

Has the final been confirmed for the 15th. There aren’t a huge number of changes we can pick because of the eligibility criteria. Ealing had a definite bonus at the start today having been playing competitively regularly. Gloucester and us should be in the same boat Although we have given Gloucs ho...
