In BT's coverage there were some interesting insights into the oft-maligned culture that Small & co have created. Sanderson came across very well. Some informative clips of the fun players have around training, the one-one conversations with coaches, post game celebratory song then visit to the pub. I can't help to think that this must compare favourably to prospective signings, for example set against Leicester's "Monday Beasting", separate changing room for "newer" players, separate training for Academy players etc.
I am calling :censored: on this.. but based on no real evidence.
Anybody with more knowledge...?
Certainly on the Academy thing, I thought this had been recognised and changed a couple of years ago.
Wasn't beasting day Tuesday? Still happening?
Separate changing rooms for newer players seems childish but perhaps there is a more practical reason....?
Billy V. was asked live on BT first shown game what he'd been doing over the summer. His answer "staying humble"! Not getting fit,or spending time with family et,staying humble,great team but I can't stand Sarries " culture" and Sanderson is a tool of the highest order,riddled with cliches and definitely one for the mute button when he's on!

Whilst Tuesdays are still regarded as the toughest training day of the week I don't think it's not as extreme as it used to be.

The changing rooms at Oval Park aren't what I'd call ample.

Oadby Wigs is in disarray, Tigers must be reluctant to make improvements to someone else's club

Another thing about Sarries I remember was an AP semi final at home to Stains and their players had a tunnel of WAGs and kids on the pitch clapping them on before the game! A semi! What's that all about?! Stains won too hahaha which cheered me up,their fans are fine ones to talk!

As I understand it the partnership doesn't work anymore. Tigers don't want to invest in facilities they have to share and Wiggs don't either. Wiggs would quite like sole tenancy because currently they can't access as much grant funding as they'd like because the facilities are shared with a professional club.
