Sparky Posted 2 February 2006 Share 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.†Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BartonFox Posted 2 February 2006 Share 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 <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyh1884 Posted 2 February 2006 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strokes Posted 2 February 2006 Share 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.

andyh1884 Posted 2 February 2006 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
