Leicester Tigers return to home turf on Saturday for a vital Aviva Premiership fixture against Bristol Rugby. Kick-off is at 3pm. Here is our guide to what the day has in store at Welford Road, including the appearance of Leicester's X Factor winner Sam Bailey.
A bonus-point win over Gloucester last week kept Tigers in the group of teams chasing a place in the top four of the table, while Bristol are looking to close the gap at the foot of the table in the first season back in the top flight.
Match tickets for Saturday remain on general sale at the Tigers ticket office.
The ticket office is open 9am-5pm Monday-Saturday. Book in person at Welford Road or phone 0116 319 8888 (option 2). Or click here to book online any time. There is a print-at-home option for all tickets bought online.
The Tigers Club Store will be open from 9am on matchday.
The Junior Tigers Club, with activities for young supporters and an opportunity to run out in front of a big home crowd as a matchday mascot or Tiger Cub, is open from 1.00pm and there will be a player appearance in the approach to kick-off.
Turnstiles, and all internal bars and food kiosks open at 1.30pm.
Supporters can enjoy speciality coffee and handmade doughnuts at 96 Coffee By Numbers in Final Whistle owned by Tom Croft and Ben Youngs. Doughnut flavours change each week and the bar is open throughout the day.
Team news from both camps is announced at noon on Friday. Look out for updates on the Tigers club website and social media channels.
The 100-page match programme includes a special interview with Tom Brady and the Tigers Teabreak chat with Ed Slater and Mathew Tait, plus all the news from Welford Road. Pick up your copy around the stadium, price £3.
A Fan Radio service is available at Welford Road featuring referee microphone and match commentary. Units cost £15 and will operate for the rest of this season and 2017/18. Buy your set in the Club Store or shop kiosks around the stadium.
Leicester’s 2013 X Factor winner Sam Bailey will provide musical entertainment from the centre of the pitch in the build-up to kick-off and at half-time.
Half-time entertainment also includes The Ultimate Big Boot and we will also reveal the name of the winner in our season ticket holder draw in the TigersLotto and the latest Lumbers Player of the Month winner.
Official matchday bus services run by Centrebus are in operation on routes from Market Bosworth, Market Harborough, Melton Mowbray and Oakham. There is also a separate supporters’ bus available from Rugby and Lutterworth. For more information on Tigers travel, and this week’s timetable, please click here.
We’ll also have live music from Rock Bottom in final whistle after the Tigers game, while the ticket office and club store will remain open for an hour after the match.
Tickets for Saturday and for forthcoming Aviva Premiership home games against Exeter Chiefs and Newcastle Falcons are on general sale to all supporters and can be booked at the ticket office now.
If you are picking up any pre-paid match tickets on your way to the game, the Collection Point is based on the plaza outside main reception.
