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...

Re: Next seasons season ticket

There is but one Leicester Football Cub PLC. However the expenses and income are split within the company the overall.profit or loss hits the same pocket.. I am sure there is some outside separate funding to promote the Women's game and also separate sponsorship, it is probably right that a club of ...

Re: Next seasons season ticket

Oaks Park I believe was a 75 k.investment plus costs for adapting it to our purposes. The timing like the entry.of our Women's team to the top level was probably not financially ideal but at the same time the opportunities had to be seized as Women's Rugby was reorganised and Oaks Park would not hav...

Re: Next seasons season ticket

Hats off to Old Hob and supporters like him. A season ticket not only gives access to a seat at matches it also gives a sense of belonging. Of course in the days before the North Stand was built and capacity increased you were also guaranteed your space at big matched and tickets for semi finals and...

Re: Trailfinders a sad indictment of rugby

Unfortunately Irish having moved from their home to Brentford via Harlequins and Reading were not in their last Stadium long enough to build up support however they were doing so when off field matters overtook them. For clubs to succeed they need their own stadium that can be working for them on no...
