Here is the Tigers one:

Wasps weren't playing European rugby in the midlands in 2014 so should be 2015.

Also pretty sure Northampton are still in it.

I think the point that is being made is that they moved their in 2014 and that their rugby is "Exciting" compared to the Tigers.

Not that they are still in it and the Tigers aren't....

Still hadn't played European rugby there till 2015. Therefore poster is incorrect and therefore Leicester win because we are smarter.

They need to be careful with where they put it in the City centre otherwise they might be some additional features drawn on it.

It is in Leicester after all.

The whole point of putting European was indeed to remind that Wasps are in the quarter finals and Tiggers arn't (the creator said as much)

And the fact is Both Saints and Leicester were in Europe in 2014.

I know...not sure what your point is?

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

I know...not sure what your point is?

So then why mention it?

 

[HenryChinaski]

I was correcting GN 10 and explaining how the billboard was intended based on the article I read. I didn't express any personal sentiment over it.

Is there something wrong with you?

yes, but that's as an afterthought, the point of the poster was to illustrate Wasps in the midlands play exciting rugby.

Or at least that's how i read it.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Sort of loses it's point though because it mentions it.

Ok, so seeing as you seem to require a new paradigm in order to accept that this was just a humourous quip in response to Tigers' original post:

Perhaps the distinction is not between European rugby or Non-European rugby... but between EXCITING european rugby and boring european rugby. Can you accept it on those terms?

In the first place, it was a response to a pretty pointless bit of marketing from Tigers. Its all well and good getting uptight about another club moving to the midlands, but frankly, if the club had carer much about capitalising on Coventry they would have had the foresight to do some proper marketing or outreach there BEFORE wasps came along. You sort of skate on thin ice when you never make any attempt to connect with a particular city.

is that aimed at me or Tigs?

not you...
