Plenty of seats to watch them grow, and listen to the slugs munching away.
However ---keep it quiet or the BOD will see an opportunity to sell tickets

We should not expect to automatically return, and could simply slide away into obscurity. This of course is the worst scenario, but, it is a possibility. Imagine Welford Road with just a very few thousand in it, and a huge hotel alongside.

God forbid that this should happen

Last year the season ended in the 83rd minute v Newcastle in the last match...
I am a firm believer in fate and wonder if the same is going to happen v Barf...

Yes and don't we remember the terrible officials and the injury time "non try!" by Newcastle given by Luke Pearce and the TMO. Here is hoping we have a respected Referee for the Bristol & Bath games. No Pearce, CMK, Carley etc.
Here is that Newcastle match report again. - Ugh! https://www.leicestertigers.com/match/g ... 2018-04-27

Saracens, Sale, Worcester, Saints, Bristol and Quins are still in European Competitions, I wonder if they will rest players? Would be galling if some team picked up points against a "reserve" side.
