Go Gold needs you!

Buy Leicester Tigers tickets to support our local talented athletes.  Leicester-Shire & Rutland Sport (LRS) have teamed up with Leicester Tigers to help raise vital charity funds for talented young athletes through the Leicester-Shire & Rutland Go Gold Talented Athlete Fund.

Every ticket sold through the Cashback Scheme, for the Leicester Tigers v Gloucester game on Saturday 20th February 2010, will not only provide the opportunity to experience the thrill of a live Guinness Premiership match in the new Caterpillar Stand at Welford Road, but will also help LRS raise vital funds for Go Gold. Please be aware that there are only a limited amount of tickets available for this scheme.

The aim of Go Gold is to support talented young athletes in full-time education across Leicestershire, Leicester and Rutland, who are currently performing at various levels in their sport, including those athletes who are being recognised by their National Governing Bodies of Sport as being our future Olympic, Paralympic, and commonwealth athletes and potential medal winners.

LRS are selling tickets for the game at a special price of £20 for adults, £15 for students (16-19yrs) and £10 for juniors, and for every ticket purchased Leicester Tigers will donate £5 to Go Gold – the deadline to purchase tickets is 5th February.

Schools are particularly encouraged to take up this opportunity as there are a number of competitions and prizes available to them:

• First 20 Schools who sell 100 tickets will receive a first team player visit!
• Top School Sport Partnership (SSP) to sell the most tickets will win a signed Tigers shirt; 2nd place will receive signed ball, to give to the school of their choice!
• A squad signed Leicester Tigers shirt (presented on the pitch at half-time) to the Primary, Secondary and Special School who raise the most funds!
• A first team player visit…
• A 5-week coaching programme…
• A stadium tour…
• And a chance to watch the first team train!

Congratulations goes to Riverside Business & Enterprise College in Leicester who were the first school to block-book a number of tickets. A Leicester Tigers player will be visiting the school on Wednesday 13th January to hand over their tickets in person!
