TrowVegasCidered Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 As Steve's second love- I thought I'd take a look at the double header, the saracesens v Worcester game. Twickers is not even half full. Top tier empty. Why did they bother with that? (Just imagine double header footy! Ha ha) not a big egg chaser but come on Bris later. I hate all bath rugger types who have a shirt but never go to that dump at the Rec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at Glos last night - ground was absolutely packed to the rafters. First game of the season at home always seems special in any sport. This just devalues it. Only in London..

View from the Dolman Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 It's a long day if you show up for both games. They had double headers in the Olympic football and FA Trophy/Vase finals day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitchurch1966 Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 London clubs are soulless and have no history as well as small home grounds, Twickers suit the prawn sarnie brigade down to the ground. Majority there for a day out. Hopefully there will be a few Bristol fans there by 4.30 to go through their repertoire of songs, Bristol, Bristol, Bristol ................................... What is singular for repertoire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bar BS3 Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 Is it just me that detests the "come on Bris'" thing..? I fcuking hate it! Is it really necessary to abbreviate "Bristol"?

Midlands Robin Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 I'm posting this from the south stand at Twickenham. I can report the atmosphere is ******* awful. The crowd is mostly made up of Bris (sorry if that offends some) and Quins fans, all waiting for the next match. Lots of sitting around and chatting going on. The whole 'double header' thing should have been kicked into touch (pardon the pun) when Wasps fled to Coventry and Irish got relegated. Anyhow, this marks the return of Bris (oops, did it again) to the top flight after a 7 year absence so it's worth being here for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
054123 Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 Sat in the west stand and concur with the above. Doesn't help that this game is dire, simply awful. Amazed at the amount of Bristol fans here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YorkshireSection Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 Shit game no fans! Should have played it at the minimal stadium. Im sure the value sandwiches and white lighting would have appealed to the riches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh don't get me wrong, Bristol made too many handling errors and gave too many penalties away, but he's not been consistent with his interpretation of the rules. How can he penalise Bristol for a forward pass at the end there yet allow the Quins try? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrs Court Red Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 Fair result I thought. Couple of questionable decisions from the ref, but the melt down at the end of the first half let Quins back in. With Newcastle winning yesterday, that losing bonus point was vital Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
