Doncaster Game Cancelled? No Double Header?

Post by AndyM »

Have I missed the official announcement that the Doncaster game on Friday has been cancelled? I have just caught up on the podcast and heard Cockers says that it's cancelled and yet I can't seem to recall getting an email or seeing anything posted on the website.

Looking forward to the season getting started with our first home game I've taken the afternoon off! As season ticket holder should I have got an email?

There was a story posted on the website on 18 August - admittedly, it's now dropped off the recent news articles and I had to search for it: http://www.leicestertigers.com/news/20456.php

I've too only just found out the Doncaster game has been cancelled, bit miffed as was looking forward to both games, would've have been nice to have been informed.

It was announced via the news page and local media, I believe also on Facebook although I don't go on the Tigers Facebook often.

As mentioned earlier, the news item has been posted on this site for over a week. What more do you want?

An email to all season ticket holders would have been a good idea. I don't have the luxury of checking the website's latest news every few days and was away so missed the local news however I did opt in to updates via email from Tigers and read these avidly when I get them as don't have to actively seek them out they are delivered to me personally rather than having to go looking for updates. Just a suggestion....

It was in the emailed Tigerzine so you don't even need to be a season ticket holder.

Unfortunately, this forum, whilst quite entertaining, isn't an official information channel for the club!

The messages posted here are often based on conjecture, opinion and, more than occasionally, some substantiated truth.

But that doesn't mean that you can always rely on what's written here :smt018

It was my birthday and the Tigers didn't send me a card, how bad was that...............................( I think I now know why some have left)

Quite right LE18 :smt023
However the link you have supplied is to the official Leicester Tigers web site not this forum.

You may apologise if you wish :smt023 :smt003
