Rugby fans?

They reckon they are going to be there until October. Why could they have not that work when the bypass was closed and stop causing chaos on the road

 

Surely Bris aren't going to fall at the final hurdle again??? What is the point in finishing top?

 

No Bristol club will ever reach the premier league while Lansdown owns them, it's written in the stars.

 

He's definitely put the mockers on the playoffs. That must be what drove them on to get a record points total...

 

Its only 1 point. basically whoever wins the 2nd leg is the winner as to make up 1 point isnt nothing really. You may as well say its 0-0.

 

Come on Worcester you can do it

 

I play FM and that keeps mentioning Ashton Vale

 

I still want Bristol to win. Premiership rugby's great and Bristol's been missing out for too long...

 

Not trying to inflame a city v rovers debate, an honest question.

Why would you not want them to be in the premiership? Just because they are owned by Lansdown and play at AG it's a different sport so no rivalry to be had unless you support Bath or Gloucester. A lot of your fellow Rovers fans are also big Bristol fans.

 

I cant answer for seamge but im not into rugby but if I had to pick Bath or Bristol ruby I would pick Bath. Not because of Bristol being in BS3 now and under Lansdown. Its because some of Bristols fans hate us with a passion. Yes there are many gasheads who suypport Bristol but for me, the way die hard Bristol fans view us gasheads, I rather pick anyone over them to follow if I had to pick someone. Plus Bath as a place has been kind to us down the years

 

Cheers as said its not to get into a heated debate I was just wondering.

 

Yes fair enough <ok.

I remember going on their forum around the time Rovers plans came out to sell the Mem. What they came out with was disgusting. Yes I get they were not happy but still was very bad what they came out with. There was a couple of Bristol fans who put them straight but im guessing they were gasheads too But a lotof comments made me dislike them. Plus they think we stole their stadium when they know what happened. They were not nice at all regarding their former player association who backed the sale of the Mem and thought moving to UWE would be best for their club. They were very rude towards their own people.

 

Rugby is ****. The end

 

I live in north Somerset and support Bristol Rugby. I don't understand why they have play offs. Can you imagine the ruckus there would have been if Chelsea had been told now you've won the league you will play Man Utd and Man City will play Arsenal, the winners of both games will play each other and the Premiership Champions will be the winner of that game.

 

I like that idea! That would be quality.

 

It was voted by the clubs, they basically wanted to have a second bite of the cherry if they finished second third or forth.
It was also claimed that if you had the best players you could basically lose them over the international period, they claimed that they would have to play their back ups making them weaker. This one was more applicable to the Prem players as some teams could lose 5-6 players in call ups.

 

England don't pick players from the championship and I don't think the other countries do either

 

Yep I know that, you know that but if you finished second wouldn't you want another bite at the cherry? It's a premiership teams idea that championship clubs also adopted.
It's a stupid rule IMO, and should be changed to one up and the next three play in play offs with second bottom from the prem. But that would be too sensible

 

Red are you trying to create anarchy, the premier are trying to do away with relegation because it stops them from playing young players who might not be good enough and get them relegated

 

2nd leg now!

Bristol losing 6-3 on the night so far so technically losing by 4 as lost by 1 point in the 1st league. Score 1 try and they will take the lead.
