Castle Bar, Ealing – our first trip of the new season

As we look forward to our season in the Greene King IPA Championship, we are sure that many supporters will be looking forward to making visits to places such as Jersey and Penzance. Those who made the trip to Doncaster last time round will be counting the days until they can have this season’s portion of their famous Cow Pie.
We received a warm welcome and great hospitality on all our away trips on our previous season in the championship and we look forward to similar this season. And we have a couple of new adventures to look forward to, with trips to Coventry & Hartpury.

To help supporters with their preparations for the new season, we have updated and revised the LISC Guide to the Championship – we hope this guide will provide you with most of the information you need to plan your travels for the forthcoming season (& point you in the right direction for any information we have not listed).

In the run up to each away match we also hope to provide further information via our Facebook & Twitter pages – this will include the teams expected arrival time, so we can be there in numbers to form a guard of honour.

Pages will be updated during the season, so it is advisable to check back closer to each match date.

If you spot any inaccuracies or any missing information on these pages please email: webmaster@lisc.uk

If you are not a LISC member or have not yet renewed for the new season – you can join/renew online.

In this one, we talk about how pre-season training has gone, what the road ahead looks like with Petrus du Plessis. Continue reading “Exclusive Interview: Petrus du Plessis” →

Can We Improve Support, both Home and Away?

As we enjoy the summer away from club rugby, whether watching the summer internationals, the World Cup or even tackling all those chores we didn’t do in the Winter, here at LISC we are working hard behind the scenes. That includes committee meetings, emails and meetings with the club including Chief Executive Brian Facer.

One of our key projects is attempting to tackle supporter engagement and hopefully improve this for all supporters – both Home and Away. And that’s where we need you!
