Tigers hooker George Chuter is set to make his first appearance of 2007/08 in club colours when he packs down for the Development XV at Welford Road this evening.

England No2 Chuter has been sidelined with a knee injury since his return from World Cup duty but has been named among the replacements for tonight's Guinness A League clash with Northampton Wanderers (kick-off 7pm).

Ayoola Erinle starts at outside centre, while Ian Humphreys is given another chance to impress at fly-half alongside Spanish newcomer Pablo Feijoo.

Dave Young and Ben Herring will be looking to press their claims for first-team inclusion, as will hooker Gavin Hickie and full back Matt Smith.

Season ticket holders should have received tickets for this evening’s match in the post but, if you haven’t, don’t panic, all you need to do is show your season ticket voucher at the turnstiles for free admission.

Tickets are just £5 for non-members and £1 for juniors.

Additional tickets for season ticket holders, members and their guests are available from the ticket office free of charge. All you need to do is fill out the form on the reverse of the ticket to claim your free entry.
