Very good!



Feelin Foul or Skull Attack?

RedPete sounds like the voice of experience.
Both are of course decent enough Ales.

Neither travel pretty well though !

It will be interesting to see what size crowds Leicester get in Nat 1, they have been showing figures in the 150 region so far can they cope with crowds of 600-800?
According to Wiki the grounds capacity is 2000.
What's that? Four deep all the way round?
At least 500 will be able to watch the match then Wink

I have not been to Leicester since the new clubhouse was built and the pitch sold, is there a bigger car  park otherwise that will cause issues.

Looking on Google Maps, other mapping software is available, I would say they have space for about 60 cars and a coach - and then there may be space in the golf club car park, if they are able to use that.

I'm sure they will be looking at these things, but no comments yet.

It seems the squad signings are complete, though no idea if any dr's from Leicester Tigers will materialise, we seem to have at least one each year.
Some surprising omissions from the announced squad, but some exciting looking signings going into the new era for the club. First pre-season game squad announcement will be interesting, not long to go.

I see Simon Koroiyadi starts, not sure if he is a new signing or a loan from Leicester Tigers?
 senior academy. Also the winger Satala was also in the Tigers academy last season.

He was on loan to Birmingham Moseley last season and impressed. Don't know how many games he played, but sure someone will tell us. Barring injuries, I think BM is covered well in the back row this season.

33-21 was not a bad effort, 7-7 at HT shows we have some talent and hopefully the side will click together.

No point doing anything else.
However, splitting the 'better' players between first- and second-half teams certainly didn't help Cov's performance - neither did the absence of Pellegrini and Ryan*.
Alex Rae will have learned much here, and I would expect a rather different strategy against Mose.
As I've said elsewhere,  Lions looked good, and while we can't pre-judge the quality of L3 this season, I'd be surprised if they're not near the top at the death, on this showing at least.

*Edit: And Chudley. How did I forget Chudley?

BTW, the lad that scored the final Lions try has some serious wheels...

Edit: Stubbs?

I don't think Lions have a plan for promotion this year lol. I would guess it's about consolidating their position in the league, alphabetically they sit seventh, I would take that as a position at the end of the season lol.

Well the new season in a new league is almost upon us, how will it go? In the prediction league only one other person thinks the Lions will get anything out of the game with Sale and to be fair, whilst we are guessing, it is a fair assumption.
Can Sale carry on from last season, will they take a further step? Can the Lions carry forward their impressive league performance from last season?
Exciting to see some rugby again, let's hope all keep fit and well for the coming season.

NAT 1 is a very competitive league and there are few givens. Over the years some clubs have performed very well in their first season in the league, and continue to do so. Therefore, I would not be surprised if LL or the other newly promoted teams do the same. Best of luck, I hope it's a great season and one not spoilt by adapting and interpreting the new tackle laws.

It's all unknown territory, the Lions won their last pre season game comfortably in the end and made a very good showing against Championship side Coventry, however we all know a couple of injuries can have a profound effect on a clubs season, I just hope all keep well this season, not just at the Lions.

I cannot find any feed for this game from Lions or Cinderford. The Lions Colts team are at home against Leicester Vipers Colts today, not found any info on that either

If anyone fancies lunch and a game in Leicester and not going to Welford Road to watch the Tigers in the Premiership cup, you'd better book early
