Leicester Tigers host a first home game in the Women’s Championship North this Saturday and will also show live coverage of the Gallagher Premiership fixture away to Saracens.
Mattioli Woods Welford Road hosted a record crowd for an England Women's international fixture last season and now the stage is set for a club home game for the first time.
Here is our Matchday Guide with all of the information you need ahead of the game.
Stadium set-up
All supporters will enter and be accommodated in the Yodel Stand. Turnstiles are open from noon.
The club encourages supporters not to bring bags into the stadium in order to help minimise delays and contact due to searches at the turnstiles.
The main Club Shop in the Beehive Money Stand is open all day. Season ticket holders receive a discount on shop purchases. Supporters can use any Credit on their Tigers account to spend on shop purchases.
Using the Tigers App, you can send photos and messages for the big screens courtesy of club partner Yodel. Simply open the Leicester Tigers app, click ‘Send A Photo’ and select ‘Big Screen’ to submit a photo or message and we will share some of them during the day.

Bars and kiosks
Final Whistle in the North Stand is open all afternoon for hot and cold drinks.
The stadium runs cashless payments only, including shops, bars, kiosks and programme booths.
Stadium bars use recycled and recyclable plastic cups. There is no deposit paid or collected for cups, hopefully speeding service at the tills.
To help keep a clean stadium and increase our recycling, caterers Levy have generously agreed to give the Leicester Tigers Foundation a 10p donation for every used plastic cup placed in the Mixed Recycling bins around the stadium.
Although there is no Junior Tigers Club for this fixture, there are some activities for younger supporters set up in Final Whistle. There is also a draw for a young fan to lead out the Tigers women’s team as matchday mascot.
