Can someone tell me what happened to the original design of two tigers prancing toward each other, as it now seems we will just have the head of one tiger as the gate monument.

Re: Monument ready for stadium installation
It got scaled down in 2020 when the club's finance's took a hit. I don't know if that means the club was originally funding some of the project and subsequently decided against it, or if public donations weren't as much as was hoped for and it was just coincidental timing with the pandemic. Or... other.
I don't mind the single head tbh, and I'm really looking forward to seeing the finished concourse. Should be a great space once it's done - I'm hoping it'll be before the end of this season.

The completion date for the hotel was given as Spring 2022 so it should be before the end of the season.

Planning to unveil the monument at the first home game of next season.

Someone on the Tigers unoffy site said that they had been invited to the monument unveiling in September . As someone who bought one of the commemorative coins a while back hopefully we will all get a similar invite.

I have always believed that the proposed statue of Mrs Tuilagi was the best idea ever had.
Maybe a bit dated now...

I bought a coin (Some time ago, cannot remember when exactly), got an Email from Tigers on Thursday 21st July with invite to the Monument unveiling on 9th September.
Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens.
Re: Monument ready for stadium installation
Still yet to receive an invite to the unveiling of the Tigers monument despite sending two e-mails to Sam Swift. Has anyone else heard anything ?
