Sparky Posted 2 February 2006 Posted 2 February 2006 Tigers Forced to Change Worcester Date Leicester Tigers have been forced to switch their Guinness Premiership fixture against Worcester Warriors to Friday February 17th, kick off 7.45pm. The Grounds Safety Advisory Committee has instructed the club to take this course of action as Leicester City are playing Leeds United at 3pm the following day in a high risk “category c†fixture. Leicester Tigers managing director David Clayton said: “We have no choice in this matter as it is the opinion of the police that there is a high likelihood of public disorder and a considerable risk to public safety. “As soon as it became clear that Leicester City would be at home on this date, following their exit from the FA Cup, we asked the police to consider allowing us to kick off at a later time on the Saturday. However, one of their main concerns is that there could be disturbances around the city at the same time as our supporters are leaving Welford Road and this could significantly slow down their response time. “I’m sorry if this has inconvenienced any of our supporters, but this is due to circumstances outside of our control.â€Â

ithuriel Posted 2 February 2006 Posted 2 February 2006 must be a real pride to their club this reputation leeds supporters have. racist thugs who cause trouble where ever , maybe they should be sent to coventry makes me wonder how the decent supporters up there feel about their rep ?
IDEA OR IKEA Posted 2 February 2006 Posted 2 February 2006 must be a real pride to their club this reputation leeds supporters have. racist thugs who cause trouble where ever , maybe they should be sent to coventry makes me wonder how the decent supporters up there feel about their rep ? It restricts them
BAFox Posted 2 February 2006 Posted 2 February 2006 Lets hope our own mindless morons who started the abusive chanting last season in L1 were indentified and banned, Especially after the Southampton coach window affair we will be getting our own rep !!
Frenzied Posted 2 February 2006 Posted 2 February 2006 Lets hope our own mindless morons who started the abusive chanting last season in L1 were indentified and banned, Especially after the Southampton coach window affair we will be getting our own rep !! We already have.
BartonFox Posted 2 February 2006 Posted 2 February 2006 All those L1 wannabes will be soiling themselves because those morons form Yorkshire will be looking for anyone who looks like a chav. People of Leeds don't take kindly to taunts about the 2 boys in Istanbul, which is ironic as they seem to think it is ok to sing the Munich song <_<
wonderboy Posted 2 February 2006 Posted 2 February 2006 We already have. i know in the eighties we had a bad rep but now its just chavs and 12 year olds who want trouble
Guest Posted 2 February 2006 Posted 2 February 2006 Makes a change the Tigers having to change dates, its nearly always us that has to. Normally Plod loves the chance to move this fixture to a 'safer' time and day.

I think they must fancy a weekend of riot training, get the batons out and crack a few skulls. They love it, that is why there is no complaints from them when you have May Day or G8, a chance to whack some tree hugging soap dodgers
lush Posted 2 February 2006 Posted 2 February 2006 Makes a change the Tigers having to change dates, its nearly always us that has to. its because of our game that the tigers have to change days, i think thats unfair on them.
andyh1884 Posted 2 February 2006 Posted 2 February 2006 its because of our game that the tigers have to change days, i think thats unfair on them. But we had to change coventry game for them so it's swings & roundabouts
Strokes Posted 2 February 2006 Posted 2 February 2006 But we had to change coventry game for them so it's swings & roundabouts I think the point Lush is making (Correct me if i am wrong) is that it is because there is trouble expected from football supporters every time, it's never the rugby.
lush Posted 2 February 2006 Posted 2 February 2006 But we had to change coventry game for them so it's swings & roundabouts what was the reason for that?
lush Posted 2 February 2006 Posted 2 February 2006 I think the point Lush is making (Correct me if i am wrong) is that it is because there is trouble expected from football supporters every time, it's never the rugby. absolutely, its a football problem. why should rugby suffer because we/police cannot control some supporters
andyh1884 Posted 2 February 2006 Posted 2 February 2006 what was the reason for that? same reason as this one, it was a category c game so they were expecting trouble. Difference on that occasion was that Tigers were playing a Heineken Cup match (I think), which couldn't be moved so we had to move ours.
lush Posted 2 February 2006 Posted 2 February 2006 and rightly so andy. its beneficial for us to play sunday, as we have a game the previous mid week, and no game until the following saturday. whos for 6.30pm sunday night

The People's Hero Posted 3 February 2006 Posted 3 February 2006 we all know your a fascist, because your intolerant Firstly, Lisa isn't intolerant. Secondly, being a bit intolerant doesn't automatically make you a fascist. Thirdly, you're a right bitch.
andyh1884 Posted 3 February 2006 Posted 3 February 2006 I don't know whether you're contrary on purpose or if you genuinely are obstinate. Lush could start an arguement in an empty room. It's just unfortunate that empty room appears to contain a computer with internet connection
Katy Posted 3 February 2006 Posted 3 February 2006 we all know your a fascist, because your intolerant It's you're a fascist and you're intolerant and Lisa isn't - Next!
lush Posted 3 February 2006 Posted 3 February 2006 Firstly, Lisa isn't intolerant. Secondly, being a bit intolerant doesn't automatically make you a fascist. Thirdly, you're a right bitch. 1, shes prooved it many a time, and so in her last post to me. 2, look up fascism 3, your ingnorant.
