It seems the Falcons are the most likely destination of the Saudi money at the moment I believe.Mo Leicester wrote: ↑Tue Feb 20, 2024 11:33 pm I’d need more information.
Keeping the price the same for fewer games is not something that should be celebrated.
Are we considering taking Saudi money? If so, I would have to consider not renewing on moral grounds (my choice - many will disagree).
If a price increase keeps the Saudis out - I would pay without hesitation.
I would be very disappointed if we get a large increase and then find we still have them onboard.

There are also pictures on social media of top execs at Falcons in Saudi Arabia (that have since been removed by the person who put it up)

Playing devils advocate,did the club phone any ST holders on here and offer to pay any of your bills during the shutdown ,and other times when folk were struggling?

Person gets enjoyment from watching Tigers. Person wants Tigers to survive. Person acts generously and pays more than they have to. Doesn't sound crazy to me.
No one is saying you, or anyone else, should have done this.

Re: Next seasons season ticket
The letter from Andrea mentions "...associated costs to operate Mattioli Woods Welford Road, Oval Park and Oaks Park". I know 2 out of those 3, but no idea where Oaks Park is or what happens there.

It's the training centre for the women's team from what this says...

Re: Next seasons season ticket
Oaks Park I believe was a 75 k.investment plus costs for adapting it to our purposes. The timing like the entry.of our Women's team to the top level was probably not financially ideal but at the same time the opportunities had to be seized as Women's Rugby was reorganised and Oaks Park would not have remained vacant for long. Hopefully.in time attendances at women's games will justify the investment and it will not impact on the finances of the men's team for long.
Re: Next seasons season ticket
I paid for a season ticket that I hardly used, but was happy to leave the money in the club. I guess my moral compass is either spot on or wildly defective, depending on your view of what life is about.Tiglon wrote: ↑Wed Feb 21, 2024 10:18 amPerson gets enjoyment from watching Tigers.

Re: Next seasons season ticket
I'm sure I read AP say that the women's team would have no impact at all on the men's team funding/finances and is run separately to the men's team albeit within the same company - hence the ST payments this year being kept separate to the mens and taken as two different DD's (and even more separation next year it would seem).johnthegriff wrote: ↑Wed Feb 21, 2024 11:18 am Oaks Park I believe was a 75 k.investment plus costs for adapting it to our purposes.

Re: Next seasons season ticket
There is but one Leicester Football Cub PLC. However the expenses and income are split within the company the overall.profit or loss hits the same pocket.. I am sure there is some outside separate funding to promote the Women's game and also separate sponsorship, it is probably right that a club of Tigers standing promote women's rugby, in time it could lead to more profitable use of the asset that is our Welford Rd ground, currently there are not enough Premiership games the more times we get bums on seats the better for the business.
