Today is an exciting day for everybody at Leicester Tigers.<br />
Whether you are a player, coach, staff member, supporter, sponsor –<br />
we have reached this season’s Final on the back of all of your efforts.<br />
We have not been here for a long time and, after recent seasons<br />
where the club was not been taking part in big games like today’s at<br />
Twickenham, I am sure it feels even more special.<br />
The challenge is a big one, an exciting one, against a formidable<br />
team in Saracens. We know that and we are looking forward to it.<br />
The focus for us has not changed from Round 1 of this season’s<br />
<strong>Gallagher</strong> <strong>Premiership</strong> <strong>Rugby</strong>; every single week we have gone out<br />
with the intention of delivering a performance that will make our<br />
supporters, our families and our friends proud.<br />
As a group, we are still very early on in our journey together and<br />
have experienced plenty of highs and lows in a short space of time<br />
alongside one another. But, from all of them, we have grown tighter<br />
and we have learned something to help carry the club forward.<br />
Today is another step on the journey, a big step, and the players<br />
have worked tirelessly to be prepared to deliver on making<br />
everyone at Leicester Tigers proud with their performance.<br />
The bond between the club and our supporters feels stronger every<br />
day and I hope that you, the fans, can see how much your support<br />
means to us.<br />
Since fans were allowed back in the stands, Leicester Tigers<br />
supporters have flooded through the gates at Mattioli Woods<br />
Welford Road and throughout away venues in England and Europe,<br />
which has helped us compete on the pitch with the incredible<br />
support behind us.<br />
The pandemic showed everybody not only how much our game<br />
needs supporters in the stands, but also how privileged we are to<br />
have the competition, the backing and the occasions – like today –<br />
as part of what we do.<br />
Thank you to everybody who got our game through that time and<br />
have made this season such an exciting, entertaining and enjoyable<br />
one for all who are a part of <strong>Gallagher</strong> <strong>Premiership</strong> <strong>Rugby</strong>.<br />
Finally, to everybody at Leicester Tigers, thank you for helping us be<br />
here today.<br />
All the Best<br />
Steve<br />
