It was my fault
My record of seeing Tigers play in finals at Twickenham now stands at 5 matches seen, 5 matches lost. Wasps twice (one prem, one HC final), Sale, Saracens and now Quins. Actually I could argue 6 as I seem to remember seeing a Tigers v the Rest of the World XV at Twickenham when I was very young, which we also lost. In fact, now I come to think of it, I was also there when we lost the Pilkington Cup final to Bath (thanks Steve Lander). So in summary, 7 matches seen, 7 matches lost. I'm sorry - it was selfish of me to go. I have now barred myself from attending future Tigers games at HQ.
The reason I've started this thread is to see if anyone has as bad a record as me?
I fully accept being the victim of a blame/hate campaign instead of Cockerill/MOC/Tuilagis.

Don't stop going! One day you'll see Tigers win at Twickenham and it will all have been worth it.

Yes don't go to Twickers. Golden rule only go to Cardiff to watch Tigers.

Where I saw them lose to Brive in the HC. Deano et al looked as though they had turned up for training thinking the game was tomorrow.Isambard wrote:Yes don't go to Twickers. Golden rule only go to Cardiff to watch Tigers.

Re: It was my fault
I blame the mascots.
Quins were clearly cheating by having 2 mascots against our one, although I was a little concerned to see their 2 'wrestling' together in an 'un-manly' way.
Was expecting David Attenborough to come over the tannoy with a suitable commentary.......
