s the fitness of the squad, which we've cited as something wasn't good enough to start the season, something we're constantly working on / have changed an approach to?

Geordan: "It's a balancing act. We want to be faster and fitter, but we're also always managing bodies. At times, during the season, we've had to back off given the amount of bodies unavailable."

Which players, who have left us, would you like to have seen stay with us?

Boris: Ayerza

Mark: "Logo - his Umu's were outstanding."

Phil: "I would love to recreate a player of the same mould of Martin Johnson."

Geordan: "On occasion, I think what if ... but it's more important we focus on who and what we have."

Why have Premiership Shield fixtures been moved to Loughborough and not played at Welford Road?

Chris Rose, Head of Brand: "Their facilities offer the certainty of matches, given the 4G pitch, and also in order to strengthen our valuable relationship with Loughborough University."

Chris: "If people wish to see more back, we are open to returning more to Welford Road."

Once again, well done Ellis, a pretty good summary to the best of my recollection should enlighten all those who could not make the event but will want to comment anyway.

It's a bit like the Wednesday Tigers radio show. Nobody goes beyond PR speak much.
Leicester Tigers 1995-
Nottingham 1995-2000
Swansea (Whites) 1988-95
A game played on grass in the open air by teams of XV.
