MATCH FOCUS | Tigers in town this Saturday
One of the biggest games in recent club history is soon to be upon us as Premiership and European heavyweights, Leicester Tigers head to Goldington Road for the first time since 2000 this Saturday 7th October (KO 3pm).
Big Game Preview
A game the squad have had an eye on since the fixtures were released in July, Saturday’s game represents a final opportunity for Mike Rayer’s side to spring an upset on Premiership opposition.
Dan McKellar’s Leicester need just a point to guarantee their progression to the semi-finals of the competition. With Tigers opening their league campaign the following Friday, they’ll be looking for a final bit of momentum at Goldington Road.
World Cup Fever
All four Home Nations are in Rugby World Cup action on Saturday, and we’ll have every moment screened LIVE on the TVs around the ground.
Two additional screens have been installed in The CMC Marquee offering an additional venue post-game to watch all three matches alongside The Eagle Bar and Scrum Hall. Hospitality guests in The Dovecote Park Suite and The Burrow at the Blues can also see every game.
