... or at least leave it on the deck during play. Some of the pre-match shots were interesting but, when the ball goes into the scrum, we want to see it from ground level and not from 500 feet.

If it's a toss-up between paying for a helicopter or a big screen in the corner, let's have the latter.

At first, I thought it was a police helicopter and there was some traffic problems nearby. It was only when I got home and checked my recording of the match that I realised what it actually was.

I thought that it was intrusive. Not good for a choir to have to compete with. Agree that ascreen would have helped.

Thought the helicopter was both intrusive and alarming as it was very noisy and initially I thought it was a police helicopter.

On the subject of a big screen was has happened to it? We had one for most of the televised hone games last season but this year its dissapeared !
Without hope we are nothing, keep the faith, a Tiger for eternity
