It is central to Paul ’ s vision that the club must be , quite simply , a great place to watch rugby – as he puts it : “ I want everybody leaving this place - home or away , player or supporter , young or old to come away saying ‘ that was brilliant !’”.
The clubhouse is already a busy local hub , used by assorted local groups and the club itself regularly hosts social events , open to members and non-members alike . Details are published on the website : www . sheffieldtigers . co . uk .
