Thanks again to the Tigers for the invitation. The students really enjoyed themselves and learned a great deal about one of the biggest rugby clubs in the world. π―π
Yesterday @dmujournalism sports students got the luxury of visiting world-renound rugby club @LeicesterTigers. They also met with Communications Executive Stan Buckley who gave them a tour of the stadium.
The Crumble Stand which is where the changing rooms are located for the players has a stair walk-out as opposed to a ramp, which opposition players have tried multiple times to get altered.
This is also where the press box and press room is located for post-match interviews. π
On Wednesday, @dmujournalism students were invited down to the @LeicesterArena home of @RidersBball for a tour, as well as, getting to meet Kevin Routledge and Ashley Fontaine who is Head of Marketing. ππ΄
More facts about the arena:
πΉThey have enough carpet to cover both wooden floors in seconds π³π±
πΉThe sprung-wooden oak flooring in the extension costing over Β£100,000 π°
πΉThe land that the arena was built on was previously a gas plant, paintworks and shipping yard π¨πΌβπ¨π¦
i spoke with @FarhanKlcj about his FA Level 1 Football Coaching Licence and his aspirations to build on this further and become an FA Level 2 Coach. Farhan will get in touch with the sports facilities at DMU to guide him in the right direction.
