davieG Posted 26 January 2009 Posted 26 January 2009 Bentleys Roof can exclusively reveal that the Quarter Final of the Heineken Cup between Tigers and Bath will be played at the Walkers Stadium on the weekend of 11th of April, just a couple of days before our home clash with Leeds. Once again the powers that be have taken a commercial decision and disregarded any home advantage we may have. As we move into the latter stages of the season and push on to win this league we have to win games like this. We cannot afford to give up any advantage to teams like Leeds who, quite frankly, are third division clobberers. For the first time in ages we are seeing a team that plays fluid passing football and the Club should be doing everything it can to ensure we have these conditions at home and not allow some hairy arsed neanderthals to plough up our turf days before such an important game. The fans are not thinking third division football, the players are not playing third division football, yet the Club are acting third division. It won't be long before Tiggers fans turn up at The Walkers totally confused where they are supposed to be playing.
Simi Posted 26 January 2009 Posted 26 January 2009 Why can't we **** the Tiggers off completely if they're going to have a detremental effect on OUR pitch.
Edmund Posted 26 January 2009 Posted 26 January 2009 I heard about this yesterday. After the Bath game on sky yesterday afternoon, the interviewer was saying about playing at the Walkers stadium.
JakeShingler Posted 26 January 2009 Posted 26 January 2009 This is taking the fooking piss the fooking posh bastarding egg cahsing wankers
lildave3 Posted 26 January 2009 Posted 26 January 2009 No matter, we'll still beat Leeds and earn some more money beforehand.
Babylon Posted 26 January 2009 Posted 26 January 2009 I wonder what the Tigers fans think of it all? Rupert, Quentin, Jeremy, Berty and Tarquin are appalled.
Corky Posted 26 January 2009 Posted 26 January 2009 Rupert, Quentin, Jeremy, Berty and Tarquin are appalled. I thought as much. I bet they take over OUR Family Stand, and ruin our seats for the Leeds match
Houdini Logic Posted 26 January 2009 Posted 26 January 2009 Why can't we **** the Tiggers off completely if they're going to have a detremental effect on OUR pitch.
Fox in a Box Posted 26 January 2009 Posted 26 January 2009 £14Million for 2 games or get outta town egg chasers!
StanSP Posted 26 January 2009 Posted 26 January 2009 Great, They are going to wreck the pitch before a potentially title-winning game. And they are going to wreck it before we get the chance to (pitch invasion )
Simi Posted 26 January 2009 Posted 26 January 2009 Obviously I understand this, but surely Mandaric's priority is to see us competing in what is a massive game for us on a top quality pitch. Just don't get why we should suffer because they can't match demand for tickets, if that's the reason.
Tommeh Posted 26 January 2009 Posted 26 January 2009 No amount of money they pay us will even be close to compensating us if we fail to get promoted. I can't be arsed to slag them off anymore, but our club really needs to tell them where to go.

Maybe Lise or Raj could bring it up at the next fans' meeting?
Milky Posted 26 January 2009 Posted 26 January 2009 We'll just have to hope they don't play in the wet
Finnegan Posted 26 January 2009 Posted 26 January 2009 fook sakes. When will the Tigers learn the atmosphere in the Walkers is shite! Welford Road is a fortress! Don't see what the City fans are moaning about, this is worse news for the rugby to be honest. We're a tidy club with tidy groundsmen, most of the time, one game of rugby isn't going to destroy our season and we'll get money for their playing here. What's the problem? You're just having a whinge because it's rugby. Grow up!
Finnegan Posted 26 January 2009 Posted 26 January 2009 tell them to jog on! What part of the £14m loss did you not get? If we don't go up, we won't be blaming one game played on a somewhat worn pitch. And if we are, we're seriously, seriously fucking stupid.

You're just having a whinge because it's rugby. Grow up! I agree Finners, although Welford Road isn't what it once was. Don't the Tigers remember what happened the last time we played Bath at the Walkers? The only good atmosphere there for any Rugby game there was the Llanelli game and that was coming from the Welsh end. One or two games won't affect the pitch unless we get significant rainfall before, or during the games. Look at Reading, they groundshare with London Irish, yet have scored the most goals in the Football League. It's not like we're having to move a kick off time because of this match. Although there's a chance Sky might do I suppose.
Finnegan Posted 26 January 2009 Posted 26 January 2009 The only good atmosphere there for any Rugby game there was the Llanelli game and that was coming from the Welsh end. Although, actually, I was one of about two Scarlets in the Tigers end. Egg and my face were in alignment when Barry Davies lost his footing for your last try.
Ultra Posted 26 January 2009 Posted 26 January 2009 What part of the £14m loss did you not get? If we don't go up, we won't be blaming one game played on a somewhat worn pitch. And if we are, we're seriously, seriously fucking stupid. Next season, once their new stand is opened, they won't have to come near the Way. Mixing one part paranoia with two parts of bitter sectarian bile does not produce a very edifying cocktail. And to think folk on here slag off those who ring up the moan-in..
Daggers Posted 26 January 2009 Posted 26 January 2009 I seem to remember Leeds hardly performing gloriously on a shitty pitch in the cup - this is just part of Pearson's game plan.
Finnegan Posted 26 January 2009 Posted 26 January 2009 I sense an Anti-Tigers chant tomorrow night! Er, no?
