Re: Could be good news on the kit front - for most!

I think it more likely that the away kit will stay, but a new version will simply be released with an extra star should we win the Premiership again. Can't see them getting rid of the grey shirt after only one year. Well, with the way we are currently playing there is no prospect of adding an extra...

Re: 12T on Saturday?

"Gloucester had no luck down the middle of Leicester's defence, which is where I had feared for them. 12T made all his tackles (7 made, 0 missed according to the ESPN stats. Manu made 5 and missed 1. MOTM Alesana made 1 and missed 3...), and there were no gaps in the 10/12/13 channels that Glou...

Re: Tigers 41-41 glaws

Even if Tigers do get a home SF against either Gloucs or Saints I can't actually see Tigers winning against either of those. They have been far too erratic this season and are constantly letting sides back into games far to easily for my liking. Tigers are very vulnerable at the moment and I think ...

Re: Wasps hike ST Prices.

Hear hear mol2 and I think the Waspies' owner prefers soccer and sees the rugby team as just something to fill in the blank Saturdays which he hoped would also turn a profit.

Re: Tigers 41-41 glaws

Poor team performance. Good individual ones. No old head on the pitch to calm things. Wasted chances and headless chickens for large parts of the game and Youngs needs a real slap. He was often Missing in Action. Tweets about playing his xbox the night before till late at night. Starting to believe ...

Well, Billy, there are reasons why all us old gits say it's silly. And that is perhaps how we have survived to become old gits. By the way, it is "Faint hearted"

Re: Rugby Club this evening

May I suggest that these stats be sent to ERC, appropriate referees' societies, other interested parties and comments asked for?

Re: Rugby Club this evening

Lovely work 4071 and fascinating but, and I may be being thick here, are there not AP refs in the HC, and what are there stats?

Re: We ARE on the box this weekend!

I could have sworn I started this thread to let people know the Tigers v Glaws match was on the box on Saturday. Instead, it's been hijacked by the anti-Stuart Barnes brigade. If that's the case, then :censored: off the lot of you! Well, as you usually say "Why can't they google/look in the Ra...

Re: Funding in Place for the next phase!

If Wuss come back up they have the capacity to develop. They are surrounded by acres of Premiership rugbylessness in Oxfordshire, Warwickshire etc although quite a lot of support for lower league stuff (Henley Coventry etc). Good ground and access, I would expect them to be more permanent next time.
