City chief executive Tim Davies said: "We are delighted that the Walkers Stadium has been chosen to host such a prestigious event between two of rugby's top teams for a third successive season. "We wish the Tigers the very best of luck." Linkage Looks like milan is going to bring more spondoolicks in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vanfox12 Posted 2 April 2007 Share Posted 2 April 2007 they never win at the walkers, bet the fans are really upset to be going out!Excuses, excuses, someone suggested they should have played the game at Twickenham but i doubt they'd even get 40,000 for the game and besides would you want to go down to London for a semi final when they will be playing their in the Final of the EDS Cup and possibly this one as well. The reason they've not won has bugger all to do with atmosphere but with Pat Howards tactics in the previous two games. Okay we shouldn't ground share with Tigers but i can't believe that they'd rather play out of town than play at their Sporting rivals five minutes down the road.

Floating Fox Posted 2 April 2007 Share Posted 2 April 2007 They better not stand up, never know what might happen if they do Hopefully they'll loose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo V Posted 3 April 2007 Share Posted 3 April 2007 A good move. Even if they do batter the pitch we havent got that long left in the season to worry about it . Then again, maybe its orders by RK to get the pitch ready for a long ball session and to spoil all the teams that come to us trying to play passing football??!! I wonder how much something like this is worth to us??? Is it live on the box??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mat_j101 Posted 3 April 2007 Share Posted 3 April 2007 Last time they played the pitch was crap for ages, as unfortunately it coincided with a run of home games for us, and there were parts of the pitch that were crap for a while. I hate the Tigers playing on it! But good luck anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Stig Posted 3 April 2007 Share Posted 3 April 2007 I've just been on the official Tigers forum and they're a very nice bunch! They bascily dont like playing at The Walkers as they feel to far away from the pitch and not involved with the game. Fair enough really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah you really should get with the times Phube, gone are the days of just the players playing and the crowd watching! You should see rugby now, fans on the pitch all the time, home fans carrying off the away players, its very interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
