Tigers vs Exeter - Saturday 18th September 2021 - 1500

[CJ]

Those of us who sit in the middle of the Crumbie (by the press box and the away coaches) can’t sit there for this match and maybe not for ages yet as RFU covid rules say there has to be 2m distance between us and them. The club has been brilliant about it- they are making arrangements for us to move for as long as necessary and they organised a zoom call this evening to explain what was happening and why and to allow us to ask questions.

Those who are family groups or groups of friends will be moved together. I asked if I could have the same new seat for the duration and that will happen. Be warned - someone on the forum may get me sitting near you!

Can’t thank the club enough. Superb customer care.

I have had no notice of this and this is exactly where I sit. Reference, please.

Think yourself lucky to have got out of there. From a standing terrace perspective, the average comment from the Crumbie belies a total lack of understanding of anything rugby related.
Amongst the despondency, I’ll never forget how the Crumbie faithful made me smile when blaming the referee for the 0-43 score line against Glasgow. For me, it’s the part of our stadium that makes Gloucester’s Shed seem like a Mensa meeting!

But unlike some, the Crumbyites have a sense of humour!

I'll go with a home loss

No LCD, J Hill and S Simmonds for Chiefs though. Unsure what their injury situation is either given their lack of pre season games. Could be a good chance to catch them cold and get us off to a flyer.

Last night has deflated me I'm afraid. Chiefs for one thing will know exactly what they are doing from 1-23 and I think they will just have too much for us in most aspects. Chiefs by 11-20.

I agree with you. The loss the other night did show up flaws, and was somewhat worrying. Exeter are the complete deal, and will win, I think. I don't like being negative, but feel Exeter will find our short comings and exploit them. Not a slaughter but solid win for them.
Please prove me wrong lads.

Sure us Crumbie lot will say what we see through green-tinted spectacles most of the time but don’t insult our intelligence.

You quote that Glasgow game, for me the worst game I will ever attend at Welford Road in my lifetime. But at least the Crumbie faithful stayed for the full match, can’t say the same for other parts of the ground.

This is what I like to see fan in-fighting before the first whistle is blown.

Like all families, then

Dokie, there's more loyalty on the Terrace and wooden seats than in any other stand. Hard-core supporters who even stay for the end of games.

If you are on the terrace I doubt you hear the quieter remarks more than a few rows back. Some of us have played and seen a lot of rugby

Not sure if this has been mentioned or not but officiating team for Saturday:

Referee: Ian Tempest.
Assistant Referees: Greg Macdonald and Phil Watters.
TMO: Andrew Jackson.
Citing Officer: Budge Pountney.‌

Let’s all hope for a better game than the last one Tempest referred at WR…!

Personally I hope the crowd is a bit forgiving to Tempest, okay maybe the odd pantomime boo for a laugh but on reflection there was little he could have done (except from giving us a penalty try ) and how he handled both Tom Youngs' comments and the aftermath was professional and it was an application of common sense.
