For real. Haven’t been though as I’ve had a few pals round to watch here, it only takes a few mates and a few more more beers to recreate the matchday experience! Sunday is gonna be a MASSIVE day!!!!!

The Sports Bar & Pizzeria has been showing all Bears away games in there since the restart.

Yes. Friday October 16th 9pm kickoff

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/funny_old_game/1469059.stm And to think we love a fish-related pun on here - the Beeb were at it nearly 20 years ago!

Top man though if you need advice on leasing fishtanks and goldfish.

Meanwhile in Brasil . . . With 4.5 million cases and more than 138,000 fatalities from Covid-19, Brazil is the second worst-hit country in the world in terms of deaths. On Tuesday it recorded 33,536 infections and 836 deaths. Despite this Brazil's government has said football stadiums can open their doors to fans - at 30% capacity at first but that could increase. In Rio de Janeiro's Maracanã stadium that would mean 25,000 people in the stands. City authorities can veto the decision - Belo Horizonte has already said it won't be bringing fans back in yet, according to Brazilian media reports. And clubs are struggling to keep their players virus-free. One league match last month was cancelled minutes before kick-off when members of one team tested positive. And on Tuesday Flamengo were due to play in a Copa Libertadores tie, but seven players and two staff tested positive before the match

Even that is open to debate TBH

Now confirmed as behind closed doors https://www.bristolbearsrugby.com/news/statement-leicester-tigers-pilot-fixture/

My bro - @SuperDziek - has got tickets. Looks like some concessions will be open too. Pie, 2-pinter and a BP win! (hopefully)

Maybe there should be a solidarity levy on all transfer fees paid by Prem clubs - say 5% - that is redistributed throughout the leagues. If the money-go-round in the Prem continues unabated that would be an absolute disgrace.

Tickets on sale for the Leicester game in 8 days time - given that the game is the day before all further test events are banned, will they still go through with letting the fans in?

Forgot Rhodri was there. Good player.

No ****ing about there

Bears sent out a survey on email to fans about an hour ago to see who wanted to go to games, if they could, and would they sit anywhere and accept a15-20 minute time slot for arriving at AG etc Will be interesting to see how this pans out given the seemingly unstoppable momentum towards a second wave.

City will arrange it as a grouse shoot

An EFL spokesman said: "The EFL remains in discussions with the government about the pilot programme which may include a limited number of further pilot matches during September with capacity limited to 1,000. "The league is clear in its view that social distancing can be applied safely in football stadia and that having crowds at matches is an absolutely essential part of helping to protect club finances, which remain under extreme pressure. Therefore, the successful delivery of further pilots w be an important step towards getting larger number of fans into grounds safely.

Could be on for a record score!

Didn’t they say that was a record home Premiership win for us. I know we had a bit of help but that was a performance.

Show off! I did run in Greece last year in similar conditions though - only 4 k from Troulos to Koukanaries and back but bugger me it was tough work!

Good work. After 200km in June and 156km in July I only managed a paltry 76km in August. Need to correct that downward trajectory by getting straight back on it today that's for sure.

Very windy in BS3 so could be some very wayward kicking later. Interesting day with 3rd v 4th followed by 1st v. 2nd. C’mon Bris.

Season tickets renewed this morning but oh my god the process to use your credit is an absolute nightmare!

That loss the other year at home in the dying seconds still rankles with me. We must beat them.

Yes mate. BT Sport Extra.
