Hi,

I'll be making the trip down for the return fixture in a few weeks. Can anyone advise on how to get to the ground from the train station? If i decide to drive is there decent parking near the ground?

Thanks very much

not to bad plenty of parking around... mainly NCP.. i usually park in the wleford road carpark although there is some road side parking not far away.. which is free... as welford is nealry city centre its sometimes easier to bite the bullet and pay for it..

Train quite easy as well 10 minute walk easy to get to as well

Very simple - come out of the Station and Follow "Tigers Way" to Welford Road

(if you are looking it up on multimap it is still called it's former name - Waterloo Way)

If you drive go for the road side parking in little business park just round from Morrisons, the money raised goes to charity. About a 5 / 10 minute walk to the ground.

(Hope it's a better game from our point of view

)

How are you all feeling about this game then??

I'm sure we all agree it would be great to see WIlko back on the field..

I'm just intrigued to see what team Pat puts out. It would be great to see the 15 that started in Munster take the field, although I would be worried about fatigue having put everything they had into that match. We have every reason to be worried about this game, last year was a draw and we saw enough of the Falcons in the away game to know that it won't be a walk in the park. That said, we're at home, and a defeat just isn't likely !!

We can't afford to lose this one so I hope Pat doesn't give everyone the day off after last week. I think we've got the best squad of forwards around at the mo, but the backs will have to be there too. So long as it isn't like after the Lord Mayor's Show

If you fancy a good atmosphere, go to the ABC bar before the game.
