Leicester Tigers Tickets Information

Leicester Tigers
English rugby union club Leicester Football Club or better known as the ‘Leicester Tigers’ - the current EDF Energy Cup and Guinness Premiership holders has been getting most of the wins throughout it’s professional period, including winning the Heineken Cup twice and the league five times under the leadership of Martin Johnson, all in the 7 years span.

Leicester is among the only four teams never to have been downgraded and have never finished a league season below 6th position. Leicester Football Club is club currently under the captaincy of England and British Lions stalwart Martin Corry.

Their moniker "Tigers" was first used in the Leicester Daily Post during a report that said, "The Tiger stripes were keeping well together". Where did this name come from, that is still indefinite and unsure, but it may have come from The Royal Leicestershire Regiment, which received the name after serving in India. Some believe that it is perhaps since the team has a brown and yellow striped shirt, it resembles a tiger’s skin, thus that is why they are tagged as ‘Tigers’. In the beginning, they were also identified as "The Death or Glory Boys". The now-famous scarlet, green and white jerseys were not introduced until 1891, even though these were in a vertical stripe sequence until the idiosyncratic hoops were first worn in September 1895. They moved to at Welford Road Leicester - their present ground, in 1892. Attaining majority wins every year from 1898 to 1905; they failed to let others lead them."

In the 1926/27 season, Leicester started using letters to classify their forwards, expanding the practice by 1931/32 to the whole team. Peeking back in the history, after the influx of Chalkie White in 1968, things began to advance considerably. A very progressive and determined coach who sought high standards of fitness and strategy, his exclusive method of coaching brought success to the team, alongwith an increasing fan-list. Towards the end of the 1970s, Leicester started to mature as a club. At the start of the decade, the club had just 600-700 members and gates were less than 1,000. By 1980, the Tigers had reached their first cup final, and the club was on its way towards a substantial period of growth.

During 1970s the team played in a jam-packed stadium during the annual Boxing Day Barbarians event. This game still takes place each year; conversely, it no longer takes place on Boxing Day since Leicester now play a league game near that date. A first Twickenham final appearance ended in defeat by Gloucester in the John Player Cup in 1978, but the Tigers were victorious in the next three against Moseley (15-12), London Irish (21-9) and Gosforth (22-15), which ultimately, saved their trophy. In the fifth final in 1983, Bristol suffered a loss. In 1990s, the surfacing of Leicester's distinguished ABC Club was seen. It was named so because of the letters the front row players wore on their backs, with Graham Rowntree, hooker Richard Cockerill and Darren Garforth.

Leicester began one of the teams with maximum winning streaks. This streak started when Leicester defeated Harlequins 23-16 in the 1993 cup final. They were English champions again in 1995, won the Pilkington Cup in 1997 (9-3 against Sale) and were the first English team to get to the Heineken Cup final before losing to Brive in the same year. In the 1996 cup final, Tigers lost to Bath after Steve Lander gave a controversial penalty in the last minute which sealed their victory. After the match Neil Back pushed over Lander landing himself a six month ban. From 1999 to 2002, under the leadership of Martin Johnson and the administration of Dean Richards, who in 1998, became Director of Rugby for the club in February, won four successive Premiership titles and the first Zürich Championship play-offs, bringing their total of league championships to 6. They also won the Heineken Cup in 2001 and 2002 — the only side to date who have managed to win the competition in consecutive seasons. Leicester defeated Stade Français (34-20) in 2001, and Munster (15-9) in 2002. By this time, Leicester had earned a very good home record; they went 57 games victorious at home from 30 December 1997 to 30 November 2002 and included 52 successive wins. During these four seasons Leicester lost only 14 games out of the 92 they played.

In the 2003 Rugby World Cup, the club had seven representatives in the winning England squad: Martin Johnson (captain), Neil Back, Martin Corry, Ben Kay, Lewis Moody, Dorian West and Julian White. Conversely, at the same time, when these players were away, Leicester suffered and appeared at the 11th in the league and consequently, dumped out of the Heineken cup in the group stages when they decided to sack Dean Richards. In John Wells' first full season in charge of the team Leicester finished the regular season top of the league, also moving ahead to the semi-final of the Heineken cup before they were thrashed by Toulouse at the Walkers Stadium. In Martin Johnson and Neil Back's last game for Leicester they lost the Premiership Final to Wasps. After this game John Wells left Leicester to take up a position in the RFU's coaching academy, eventually rising to England forwards coach. In 2005-6, the Tigers finished second to the Sale Sharks in the league before losing to the same team in the Premiership final. They again proceeded to the knockout stages of the Heineken Cup, again they lost at the Walkers Stadium to Bath. In the new Anglo-Welsh Cup Leicester won their group but lost in the semi-finals to Wasps at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales. During the summer of 2006, the team hired some talented forwards especially Jordan Crane, the Number 8, who arrived from Leeds Tykes with a good reputation following the U21 World Cup in France.

Leicester won their first piece of silverware for five years on 15 April 2007, after defeating the Ospreys 41-35 with tries from Tom Varndell, Tom Croft, Ben Kay and Alesana Tuilagi to win the EDF Energy Cup at Twickenham Stadium. This was quickly repeated with Guinness Premiership success on May 12 at Twickenham with a 44-16 win over Gloucester. Nevertheless Leicester failed to attain the Heineken Cup Final at Twickenham on May 20 to London Wasps.

It was announced on December 28, 2006 that the existing head coach Pat Howard would leave the club at the end of the season, to return to his native Australia. He will be taken over by the current head coach of Argentina, Marcelo Loffreda after the 2007 Rugby World Cup.
