Tigers took the Guinness Premiership honours after Twickenham victory over London Irish in May and the trophy made the trip to County Hall at Glenfield where staff took the opportunity to pose for pictures alongside the impressive silverware while also snapping up seats for the defence of the title when Tigers face Newcastle Falcons at Welford Road on Saturday, September 19.
A Tigers spokesman said: “A lot of hard work from all of the coaching and playing staff went into winning the league last season and it was great to see that hard work rewarded with victory in the final and a big day out for the supporters at Twickenham.
"Now we are very pleased that we can take the Guinness Premiership trophy out to our supporters.
“The supporters at County Hall certainly seemed to appreciate the opportunity to lift the trophy and collect some photos.”
