The future of Tigers PLC?? Well, we may accept that there is only one world super-sport (Soccer) and cricket, rugby union, F1 etc compete for the tier two slots. Crowds at MWWR have probably peaked so no more stadium investment needed. Branding will be tier two and less lucrative than hoped so playing squads will be reduced in cost & size. How to sustain it? The big brand is international & Tigers are just 1/12th of England. This suggests that a model similar to the Welsh, Irish & Scots (sometimes very successful) is more appropriate than what we have now. New Zealand have managed pretty well so far so they are worth a look.

Chris can you explain why the local radio station does not broadcast Tigers matches on all frequencies?? This is simply not fair to many fans who won't have Dab or be able to listen on line! 2nd class service that would never be entertained if it were a soccer match at the King Power! Poor very poor from RL! Your output is excellent & very informative so thanks for that Chris!
