A View From LE2 / Elliott Butlin

Hi there! This is a blog dedicated to Leicester Tigers & Leicester City. I hope you like it, please comment and interact! Here’s hoping to be back inside a ground sometime soon! #lcfc #TigersFamily #LeicesterTigers

@o_totoangel I don’t think GHW not playing is that weird imo. He’s not really ahead of the other wingers & you can’t have him in a 6/2 split. I actually think 6/2 does work from now on for us, so I think he’s just unlucky

@FromLe2 The Instagram post is class (using Orinoco Flow -Enya) 🤣I'm liking the 6/2 and it's a beefy one that can cause any team some damage. Also weird absence of GHW unless he's being rested

With George being back & Billy’s injury meaning JoC is at 10, I think we will see 6/2 for the rest of the season, especially with Emeka hopefully back soon. Whilst I don’t normally go for it, the 23 below shows it makes sense. Over to the boys to back up last week!

@lee1978lcfc @LCFC Absolutely no chance we will do that, and even if we did, the audience and the questions would be cherry picked completely

Wolves - A club taking accountability 👇 ... Your turn next @LCFC 👍 #lcfc 💙🦊

@AnneDawkins I think that’s a decent suggestion you know. Probably is to help the comms, would make sense to do so

@FromLe2 When we rewatched, we noticed that the ref mic was muted or low volume because ref link gave much more coverage of on pitch and crowd noise in the live game. We wondered if it was so the commentary is clearer? We couldn’t hear the Terrace detail from the Tradeview 🙉😉😂

I don’t know where TNT had their microphones for Saturday, but on a rewatch, it was a real shame that the great atmosphere from the stadium didn’t come through. The ground was absolutely rocking, but it just came through as loud, rather than the actual reality. Shame that.

@JohnKicinski3 I hadn’t noticed that if I’m honest! I’ll try and pay more attention next time

@FromLe2 Think their camera angles from several games have been poor where it's either zoomed in / out too much then doing multiple changes in a short short space of time

@ShaunBlockley I think it helps that the radio guys are basically sat in the crowd, directly above the terrace so will pick everything up. Would love to know where the TV mics were

@FromLe2 Yeah I have to agree actually. It defo seemed louder on Radio Leicester as I was driving home. But rewatching it, it didn’t sound the same. I could also hear different chants as well on the radio but not on tv.

@KeeneTiger @spkeene 😂😂😂😂😂 I agree pal!

@FromLe2 @spkeene On the plus side it’s probably a good thing they don’t pick up everything shouted from the terrace on broadcast!

If Furbank throws this pass and Steward misses the tackle rather than the other way round you'd never hear the end of it from some people.

@CharxRafc Well done!!!

We did it 😭😭😭😭😭

@saintdiamond1 As an old Kettering resident, the trains up on Derby Day are always fun, albeit packed! As much as the two teams don’t get on, the games are amazing spectacles & occasions, which is what makes it the best Derby for me

@FromLe2 Despite the result we had a good day. Lots of friendly chat with tigers fans. Didn’t witness anything unpleasant (other than Saints lineout, scrum and breakdown). Train up from Kettering was 50/50 especially after MH and good atmosphere.

Lots to love about Derby Day yesterday, beside the obvious score line. The stadium being full & the atmosphere being class made it a special occasion. But what I really liked was seeing the great selection of shirts from both sets of fans. Lots of retro & classic kits 🤌😍

@KeeneTiger @_AlexBPsych @spkeene I still think we finish 3rd, even after yesterday. If Bath lose today however, then I think it comes back on. However I’m more interested in winning the next 3 for momentum purposes

@_AlexBPsych @spkeene Unfortunately their remaining fixtures are really easy so they will finish top 2. Big game for Bath today.

@KeeneTiger Big time agree.

The best thing about Parling is the below. Long overdue that we fronted up at home every time. Had a decent crack at Leinster as well.

@Amhellie @MURRANT82 Look forward to hearing them!

@FromLe2 @MURRANT82 Thanks chef 🧑‍🍳 got new adresses for you as well in Leicester !

@kylelovesgigs That’s like a trophy for you lot ain’t it. Don’t win many actual cups do ya

@FromLe2 Can’t wait to see you lose to whoever finishes 3rd 😂😂
