Re: Injury Update

I don't know if the figures are correct but in today's Times it says that the salary bill of the injured players is £2million with the salary cap of £6.5million. Whilst we all want to see injury replacements there is a limit to what the Club can afford if it wants to remain solvent. Each year we hop...

Re: Sarries Fan

Barnes is not the only Saracens fan. How about this for a quote in Stephen Jones article in today's Sunday Times headed 'Give Sarries a break, and a share of the love'. 'Ah, people say it's not really a rugby ground. Oh yes it is. It has the best stand anywhere in English rugby, it is set in parklan...

Re: A bit of perspective

We lost by 3 points which would have been a win if we hadn't given away 2 silly penalties and had another given against us at a scrum which was very doubtful. We made many other errors but these were crucial. You mean the error that saw Dan Cole stand idly at the side of a ruck, which he could easi...

Referee for Semi-final

Just seen on the Tigers web site that Nigel Owens is the referee. After his positive comments about the quarter-final it must be a good appointment.

Re: Will Evans

He gave a most impressive interview on Radio Leicester yesterday and seemed very happy with his treatment by the club. I cannot see any reason for mentioning 36 in this thread.

Re: Pearce to Sale

With Josh Beaumont there I cannot see how a regular start at 8 can be the reason. Unless Beaumont is leaving.

Re: Post your favourite quotes from Gloucester fans here!

Sitting in the Mira stand with my wife there was nothing to complain about, in fact the atmosphere was excellent. We'd have no hesitation in going again. Drinking in the Coach and Horses after the game, after buying chips over the road, there was plenty of very enjoyable banter.

Re: Ticket Buyback Scheme

I have no problem with the delay in the refund but as I received an email confirming that the seats had been included in the scheme i could have received an email telling me that they had been sold.

Ticket Buyback Scheme

As my wife and I were unable to attend the Boxing Day game against Newcastle we arranged for our seats to be put in the Club's new buy-back scheme in October. We received a confirmation but then no further communication and so we had to check with the people around us at the Saints game to find if o...

Re: Stade Francais away fixture date/time?

Beech if you know how to use a telephone or how to book on line I don't see the problem unless you are travelling to Inner Mongolia where I believe just getting a mobile signal is a hell of a job. Thanks for your helpful comment, as I have been travelling to the european matches for years I am awar...

Re: Stade Francais away fixture date/time?

Be fair. Our ticket office cannot sell them before they have them, and they cannot be printed in France until the date and time are known, this, on past years performance is announced between the back to back fixtures. I appreciate the problem but I cannot think that we are the only people who will...

Re: Stade Francais away fixture date/time?

We are going away for Christmas, leaving on Monday 20th, and the ticket office has just told me that the tickets will not be available until after the home game against Munster which is on 19th. How are we supposed to make arrangements when we don't know if we will be able to get tickets? I am very ...

Re: Salary cap breach confidential settlements

Just read the statement by Wasps chairman - it would be great if others followed suit so that the cheats would be isolated and they could not hide behind other clubs.
