There is a queue to buy your two season tickets bc!!!! Mmmmm, wonder why they are being advertised as "Season tickets for sale" on the home page when there is such a Q. False information from Tigers or just incompetence? Or maybe there are season tickets for sale, even now, days before th...

I had my rant at the time, but if the Club chooses to play a game on the worst night of the week for many people, me included, then they get the crowd they deserve. On the one hand it was a friendly, which would not grab a lot of attention, but on the other hand, the Friday night crowd was not swell...

...And they have been able to say "We are the Champions" on 7 different occasions (over 3 different competitions) since the company floated in 1998. Are you seriously suggesting that the Board resign because we've won no silverware in the lst 4 seasons? Who would you choose to bring in to...

Dave - thanks for the insight. Tigers plc, I think, works to different rules and I guess might have some difficulty when it looks at itself in the mirror. The shareholders I suspect would fly in the face of logic. By that I mean that whilst I might invest £100 in Microsoft, I would expect a financia...

Bill you are correct - pot would have added not a great deal - however too many years without and we will see a different picture I think. But what the heck, it's only a game - I guess we all get confused these days - are we a club - is it a game - does it matter if we win - we are mainly a business...

We ARE a business though. The directors look after all things off the pitch to ensure that Pat has as good a grounding as possible to support him in his quest to try and win trophies. The board are doing all they can do in ensuring we are profitable. What else do you want them to do? Wave a magic w...

This debate is interesting. Time and time again people come on to this site and tell people like me to shut up because "We are a business" and "tough ujars" about Friday nights etc etc etc. Now, it is being suggested that four years without a trophy is nothing..... Seriously, if ...

Success may be due to an individual, or a group, but often the market becomes bouyant for a particular service or commodity, (the rise and fall of supply and demand) and businesses (and by inference the people who run them) do well. So don't lets get carried away here - Rugby in England is booming a...

A vote for Andrews is a vote against SCW - in other words if he is front-runner it's only becaause the RFU can't stomach the idea of SCW returning. Hobson's choice may be what they are saying privately.

It hurts to think that having turned his back on the team, and given up on trying to retain the WC, he still has to be the ONLY real candidate with the ideas etc. I think the RFU will choose him. Andrews is there to make up the numbers. I would still pick Dean Richards over the lot of them, except f...

Could do, all a bit pie in the sky at the moment though as to who is actually in the running. Come on Iain, we know who the likely candidates are surely SCW Andrews McGeechan errrrr And then you could some outsiders, like Howard Add a few more use your imagination Have an option - "None of the...
