Leicester Tigers can now count triple touring car world champion Andy Priaulx among their supporters.
Priaulx, world champion in the last three years, visited Welford Road on Saturday as a guest of chairman Peter Tom and was certainly impressed by the occasion, if not the result.

“I loved it at the game,” he said. “There is an excellent feeling about the club and an excellent atmosphere. It feels like a good club. There is a ‘Silverstone’ type of feel to it.
“It was great to have the opportunity to meet some of the players and then it means a lot more when you watch the game.
“I am certainly going to be following the Tigers’ progress from now on and I might get one or two of the players to a race at Brands Hatch!”
Priaulx continues the defence of his world title in Mexico this weekend before the European season starts three weeks later.
