The Guinness Premiership match away to Saracens will now be played on Saturday January 2, kick-off 3pm.

The match was originally scheduled for New Year’s Day but the move has been made possible by Vicarage Road landlords Watford being drawn away from home in the third round of the FA Cup.

The fixture against the current league leaders comes between two attractive home games for Leicester Tigers with Sale Sharks due at Welford Road on Sunday, December 27 (2pm) and London Wasps the visitors on Saturday, January 9 (5.30pm).

Tickets for those games are available from the Tigers ticket office now and supporters are urged to book their places as quickly as possible to guarantee the best seats. Phone the ticket office now on 844 856 1880, book online or call in at Welford Road. Remember you can take advantage of special rates on group bookings too.
