Sadly, Claire Hodnett comes across as clueless.

Flasks appear on the whim of the individual 'Bouncer'.

Beware also of so called safety officer who stops shareholder's from using an umbrella prior to the match.

Oh that will be the Tigers Golfing umbrella that is sold in the shop but not allowed in the ground then!!

Umberellas in general should be banned from the world. Hateful things.

We must be saving Wayne up for the final

We must be saving Wayne up for the final

Didn’t see his name on the list of officials for this weekend so maybe he has a week off? We must be due Mr B at some point soon surely! Guess he will get the final (or Pearce) so yes.. maybe you are right

[Noggs]

Just need to make sure we get there

That's still better than Kitty though...

How times have changed. Gone are the days where we would cringe at news of Wayne Barnes being on thy whistle for one of our matches

The game is officially a sell out

[Old Hob]

Planning to come and I have to say my anxiety levels are high. Here, in North Wales mask wearing has never been dropped - it has always been the law in shops etc. With the new variant and the sell out crowd and local reluctance in England I'm not sure I've made a wise decision.

[Ian Cant]

Hope you enjoy the game. Some of us have continued wearing masks but as you are worried here are a few( apologies if they seem obvious) tips of what my wife and I along with some of our friends do every game:
a) arrive by 2pm as you can get a beer without too many in the queue and get to your seat by 2:15
b) we now leave about 15 minutes after the final whistle( will be painful if we lose to Quins but we will lose sometime)
c) if you need the toilets: don’t go just before half time, just after or at the final whistle.
Sorry if it’s blooming obvious but hope you enjoy your day.
Quins are a great team ( with great fans) to watch and it will be two contrasting styles!

[Old Hob]

Thank you, but I think our styles may not be that different if we can get our pack to be dominant our back line will glitter.

[OakhamTiger32]

Almost time.. really hoping Hanro has recovered and is back in the starting XV. Hoping to see Genge, Youngs, Steward, Montoya, Moroni, Wiese and MVS all back after the AI and hopefully 2 locks at 4 & 5

Should be a cracking match this one so just hoping we have almost the full squad to select from

The game is officially a sell out

This puzzles me - how can it be a "sell-out" when there are tickets still available to buy as I type - Crumbie block R = 36, Q = 9, L = 11, K = 39 and it is the same in every stand - even 2 for the terrace. Yes, it is going to be the biggest crowd for some time but a sell-out.
