Communication from the Club

Well then I put it to you that you are happy to se second rate performances because that is what you'll get from those sort of players. Some need bit of reality check. You have to buy some big players to compete in today's premiership. Some are living in dark ages almost.

Lea, I haven't said that I would support another club. I have said I will not renew my season ticket. I can' see how not being a season ticket holder equates to supporting another club. But then maybe I have missed something. ??

Simon, haven't you also been calling for us to retain all of our local lads (sometimes at pretty much any cost)?

We can't keep everyone that has ever played for Tigers & we can't buy everyone that appears on the market or is linked with us however tenuously.

The salary cap may appear to be rising from £2.2m to £4m but in reality, the top GP clubs like Leicester already manage to use the various additional cap allowances to boost our £2.2m to more like £3.5m!

These allowances are going in the new cap to make way for a clearer flat figure salary cap that in reality only allows us an extra £500k to spend per year.

It's not as if we have an additional £1.8m per year to play with & cheap but highly skilled multi-capped current international players knocking at our door begging to sign is it?

The only Stig I am like is the one "of the dump"!

I like to think of DA as more of a first love Tigers, second love spotting Eddie Stobart trucks, kind of guy.

Dave Angel is Brian. And so's his wife.

He certainly seems to know everything on Leicester, England etc.

Ever thought of going in for a rugby mastermind, Dave?

I used to work with the guy who played Stig of the dump in the television dramatisation a long time ago...if anyone remembers it
