COULD WELFORD ROAD BECOME A RUGBY GRAVEYARD?
I pose this question with a feeling of trepidation. If we are relegated, we could lose all our internationals.
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
I remain , yours faithfully, Mr. Doom and Gloom.

The hotel will always be full - of guests attending celebrations at Leicester's new premier wedding venue.
Tigers for the premiership and European Cup. Get behind the team and make some noise!!

Never fear, after 5 seasons of disastrous recruitment of players and coaches, at least the BOD will be left to turn out the lights
Without hope we are nothing, keep the faith, a Tiger for eternity

Atmosphere has been like a graveyard for 5 seasons.

We will have a hotel, banqueting facilities and some quiet bars all generating income but can you grow cabbages on a synthetic pitch?

Could WR be used for Athletics to keep some sporting interest?
Nowadays referees decide matches, players by how much.

It’s a grass pitch on a synthetic sub base. It’s Hybrid not syntheticDangerous4 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 23, 2019 7:43 pmI must admit that I have never tried growing cabbages on a synthetic pitch!

People are dying to get in, or so they say...
No, not that one!

I know you don't like it when I boo him but how else will he know he's wrong?
