Merry Christmas to all of our supporters and thank you for your loyal following throughout 2008.

As phase one of the redevelopment of Welford Road stadium starts to take shape behind the current Caterpillar Stand, we are sure there are exciting times ahead.

The average attendance at Welford Road has topped 17,000 again this season and the players are also thankful for the fantastic support they receive at away fixtures. Your efforts in showing your support for the club are always appreciated.

From everyone at Leicester Tigers, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Tigers are next in action against Harlequins at Twickenham on Saturday (4pm kick-off) and then host Bath in the Guinness Premiership at Welford Road on Sunday, January 4 (1.30pm kick-off). Tickets are available now for the first fixture of 2009.

The Tigers ticket office and Club Shop at Welford Road will be closed on Thursday and Friday this week, and will re-open on Saturday.
