Wasn’t it called Lotus?

Anyone watching the stream of last years game? 3-7 at moment but have a good feeling about this! Keeping an eye on Max Malins as well.

Always interested to hear about this as I was barely 3 at the time and unfortunately my father and grandfather (both die hard City fans of course) have long since passed on to be able to have a conversation with them about this. Of course, this great club thankfully continued after the 8 tore up their contracts. Can anyone share any recollections of the next games after the club was saved, but also, the players that stepped into the shoes of the 8? I'm presuming the likes of the Kelly brothers came straight in? Did we have to pluck players from non-league to play? I know about Martin Hirst and his winner at Eastville but from memory that was a couple of years later in 1984. @CyderInACan will remember the scenes in our household when news of that came through on the wireless! No doubt there has been threads about this before, but always fascinating to read fans accounts of what happened.

Top heads up, Paul G. Watched the stream, with comms from Radio Brizzle on my phone. Another home win for Bris!

Pots and kettles, @CyderInACan

Where’s the cockles?

Look how well Saracens perform with so many international players missing at times......and all within the salary cap ?

They’ve got Watson, Joseph, mcConnachie, Cokanasiga and Underhill just for England!

At least you can attend this year! rugbyinsideline reckon we’re looking to still recruit two world class players - will be interesting to see what happens. Mind you, I read Yesterday that were after George Ford - can’t see that happening.

Can’t wait for Friday and the sell out under the lights. It seems an eternity since we won up at Newcastle! Thoughts on our likely team? Presume the World Cup contingent won’t be available along with Morahan and Piutau as they’ve had no action pre-season, which would mean back ups on both wings (Pincus and Edwards?) with Protheroe at full back. Cmon Bris!

Would imagine it’s a kit reveal, and announcement of Morahan signing a new deal together with maybe a couple of other renewals. the way they’ve phrased the hashtag seems to rule out it being new signings. Hopefully I’m wrong though and it will be #announcegengey later!

Bath at home on the opening weekend of the Premiership then!! Friday 18th October - can't believe it's still over 3 months away!!

Bears ressies beat their Bath counterparts with George Smith getting a hat trick! Always nice to put one over the local rivals?

Remember Patrick Fitzpaul who played for us in the 80’s?

Whats he saying?

442. Pace down the flanks. Taylor scoring. This should be on the 89/90 thread!

Taylor is cooking on gas! COYR

Like a trooper, probably.
