A lot of Gloucester's younger players do go there but to say they are their B side is a bit harsh imo

Harsh on who? Am a bit confused.

I was led to believe that this was like the Wild Geese being the B side of London Irish ?

Hartbury train with Gloucester though?

I thought Hartbury had some connectiong with Gloucester RFC, are they not their B side?

I guess it is getting like the football

Only really affordable if you can commit to a season ticket, on the day prices are just too high !

Interesting also that this season is the best ST sales for the rugby - the Pat Lam affect is certainly working

I'd wager that is absolute nonsense.

Where did you hear it?

They have done this in the past on a couple of occasions - nothing to see here

Frustrating how you can see a Somerset side go from having Trescothick (in prime), Buttler, Kieswetter, Thomas, Trego (in prime) overseas players including Ponting, Smith, Langer, White, Pollard, Jayasuriya, heck even Whilloughby and Kirby were excellent for us. Yet all we hear from the club is how much money we're making yet we don't seem to see where the money is on the pitch anymore. Get a world class overseas player in for the year, get another quality T20 player in for the campaign. Go get someone like AB de Villiers, Quinton de Kock, Steve Smith, David Warner if you're looking for a batter. Someone like Trent Boult, Cummins, Starc for a bowler, just make a statement with the overseas signing for once.

Simple answer --- GUY LAVENDAR !!

He was obsessesd with the county making more and more money - the new CEO Lee Cooper has already recognised this is not what it's about

We have over £6m in the bank doing nothing - time to invest !!

Time and again Cove and van meekeran have cost us games with poor bowling, ah well we can concentrate on the league now 

Way too many dot balls, never seen a side have so many swing and a miss as us 

2 out of 2 for the Southern teams

Have a good feeling about tonight, bit gutted as most of the lads I go with are on their way to Trent Bridge

Big game tonight not very hopeful though! Be great to get to finals day next Saturday especially as City don't have a game.

Who are you chearing on @Super ?

Glammy or the Foxes?

Over 7,000 unsold tickets - not good for the promoters

My uncle works as a grounds man on that Weston field. Word on the street is that most of the travellers had close links to the Bristol Rovers 1st team. 4 of the players were on sight at the time of the protest drinking cheap Cider. I'm a huge gas head and this is not right.

Gasheads on tour at Weston Super Mare saw this on the evil post website a comment on moving travelers off a playing field (Clarence Park). Maybe this is plan B to find/steal a new ground.

Fanatical

As usual load of bollocks - there were no Rovers players at the protest last night

@phantomit's those sticky pad gel things they have on the shirts to grip the ball, they've just made them out of BS logos, not a bad idea really. Just looks a bit strange until you get your head round the fact they are there yo help play the game.

Can't say i've ever noticed them on any other shirt before

"Bit of a shame to once again be posting about bad news,


Some of the veterans kit from Sunday which was lent to me by Rovers has gone "missing" it was all counted up and put in the kit bag by myself and Phil Bater and all was present, only upon returning it to Rovers today it's become apparent that we are missing no fewer than 7 shirts and 12 pairs of shorts, it would appear someone has been in the dressing room and took it.


Mangotsfield have CCTV that they will be checking tonight so it's likely the culprit will be found, it's quite simple really if you have taken this kit return it before you are caught and we will say no more about it.


Also if anyone seen anything or knows who has decided to take something from a charity day please get in touch.
Share away please so as many as possible see."

Not sure we should be highlighting this when the same thing happened with a fans match organised by a once infamous poster on this site

Piatau is a really good signing for Bristol. I think he went AWOL in defence at times for Ulster last season but he is a superb player. That's some serious money they're paying him as well. 

I see that they've released the new jersey designs. I'm sure that nobody will be sorry to see the back of that gold and blue effort from last season!

Two comments, didn't take long for the red shirt, but what the heck are all those random Bristol sport logos all over the shirts?

As for the Glamorgan home fixture, you witnessed similar problems last season aswell!?it'll soon be a bubble match the way it's going.

Two years ago there were similar scenes, that day was two coach loads that had come down from the valleys (some rugby club), yesterday was a bunch of Cardiff City supporters that came over by mini bus - sadly let their club down with their behaviour

I don't know mate, I get the feeling it doesn't matter where we stick um, the result will be the same.

We might still qualify, but I'm not holding my breath though.

Welsh fans today were absolute scum, threatening kids at the end, one of them had a hammer from groundsman area, luckily some fat Somerset fan steemed In to grab it 

At least the women won yesterday, was pleasantly surprised by the quality of their game, much better than I expected.

They were also a great laugh afterwards 

Well said TFJ, time to move on now 

@Tauntonian think I can help, pm me your phone number 

This is the story of Rindercella and her sugly isters.
Rindercella and her sugly isters lived in a marge lansion.

Rindercella worked very hard frubbing sloors, emptying poss pits, and shivelling shot.
At the end of the day, she was knucking fackered.
 
The sugly isters were right bugly astards. One was called Mary Hinge, and the other was called Betty Swallocks; they were really forrible huckers; they had fetty sweet and fetty swannies. The sugly isters had tickets to go to the ball, but the cotton runts would not let Rindercella go.

Suddenly there was a bucking fang, and her gairy fodmother appeared. Her name was Shairy Hithole and she was a light rucking fesbian.
She turned a pumpkin and six mite wice into a hucking cuge farriage with six dandy ronkeys who had buge hollocks and dig bicks.
The gairy fodmother told Rindercella to be back by dimnlight otherwise, there would be a cucking falamity.

At the ball, Rindercella was dancing with the prandsome hince when suddenly the clock struck twelve. "Mist all chucking frighty!!!" said Rindercella, and she ran out tripping barse over ollocks, so dropping her slass glipper.

The very next day, the prandsome hince knocked on Rindercella's door and the sugly isters let him in.
Suddenly, Betty Swallocks lifted her leg and let off a fig bart. "Who's fust jarted?" asked the prandsome hince.
"Blame that fugly ucker over there!!" said Mary Hinge.

When the stinking brown cloud had lifted, he tried the slass glipper on
both the sugly isters without success and their feet stucking funk.
Betty Swallocks was ducking fisgusted and gave the prandsome hince a knack in the kickers. This was not difficult as he had bucking fuge halls and a hig bard on.
He tried the slass glipper on Rindercella and it fitted pucking ferfectly.
Rindercella and the prandsome hince were married. The pransome hince lived his life in lucking fuxury, and Rindercella lived hers with a follen swanny!
