    Championship Playoff Finals 15/16

    Jack Lam is staying at Bristol. Getting Jack away from Bristol would be like using a tea spoon to remove a truck tyre.

    The English Rugby Stadium/Attendance thread

    Update for Bristols Ashton gate stadium. Two stands now completed and in use. last one will be completed for the start of 2016/17 season. Bristol sold out all available 16600 seats for this Wednesdays dreaded playoff match a week ago . Capacity for next season will be 27000. Not bad for a...

    Play offs to remain in place 2015/16

    No iv not got any form of persecution complex Old I may be but not daft enough to think the whole world is against us. its the same for every club some people like you some don't. For some its enough to see a club succeed that turns them against it its easy for them to forget the bad times that...

    Play offs to remain in place 2015/16

    Ha ha you need to be relegated to the Championship just for one season, you would hate the thought but weekends away to places like Penzance on a cold wet winters are great a pint or two in the clubhouse before retireing to the Admiral Benbow or the Turks head for the evening and thats just one...

    Play offs to remain in place 2015/16

    It always makes me smile reading posts from people who always seem to want to see Bristol to fail Perhaps there are some very sad people out there or maybe they are frightened of the coming competition? Yes we have been through the meat grinder many many times over the years But come Wednesday...

    The Wild West of Rugby

    This all sounds a bit like the big boys wanting to keep all the money to me Greed if you like. The championship is underfunded when clubs like Plymouth go bust and clubs like Cornish pirates struggle for every penny something is very wrong. You cannot cut off the grass roots without damaging...

    Play offs to remain in place 2015/16

    Wish I could say the same. I Like so many will have to take a night or two off work (if I can) either that or miss the game. That in my opinion is not fair on the fans of any club and not just rugby.

    Play offs to remain in place 2015/16

    Sky sports cover very little of the Championship season yet have the power to decide when the finals will be played. Yet again that will be on the Wednesday evenings. Well thanks Sky sports I'm sure many fans from clubs that reach the finals will find that very helpfull. Selfish idiots!!!! Top...

    Steve Borthwick -- RFU think they can Walk all over another Championship club.

    Strange, it took both sides nearly three weeks to put the record straight ? The whole RFU, Borthwick, Bristol saga is last years news now, not worth wasting time and effort on. Onwards and upwards

    6 Nations 2016

    Interesting one this year France- Not their normal selves during the word cup but if they click could prove to be dangerous. And nobody can be sure which team will turn up on the day. 3-5 Scotland- Much talk of improvement but I still need convincing. 3-5 Ireland- Always a tough nut to crack...

    Steve Borthwick -- RFU think they can Walk all over another Championship club.

    Premiership side Northampton have taken issue over the RFU's approach for backs coach Alex King, with Saints boss Jim Mallinder saying the club have been "kept in the dark". http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/35142091

    Steve Borthwick -- RFU think they can Walk all over another Championship club.

    Some of the rubbish on here . Ageing squad, Blazing rows, £600.00 plus, 18 month contract etc. Some of you really need to get your facts right before posting. There was not a blazing row. Two year contract and signed well before the word cup even started though he didn’t actually start...

    Steve Borthwick -- RFU think they can Walk all over another Championship club.

    Now let me make myself crystal clear. I as do a great many Bristol supporters are bitterly disappointed, Steve’s arrival was expected to be a big boost to the club and help them gain the promotion which has eluded them for so long. But like most of us we realise we have to let him go he is...

    Bic failure

    Bemoan?? That's not a word I would use I love the place, it's people and the club. It's the travelling that is the issue for me as it is for the Cornish pirates and their supporters. Do I wish Penzance was closer to Bristol? To right I do but that's purely for selfish reasons. As for the new...

    Bic failure

    Looking at the results as a whole I dont think many would disagree when I say I has developed into a meaningless competition. It is nothing more than a few games to give the seconds a run out Nothing more. I didnt go to the matches this week for that very reason. Why would I be daft enough to...

    Bic failure

    One thing for sure the three of us will never sort it. I Understand the reasons for what has been done but disagree entirely with the result, There had to be a better way and one that wouldn’t have built a huge wall between the haves and the have nots.. I Have sympathies with both sides...

    Bic failure

    As I’ve said before my knowledge of the Welsh structure is very limited so I’m not knocking individual clubs Beit Bridgend Ponty Cardiff or anyone, but that said I’m trying to understand a structure that would choose to deter any potential investor wishing to invest his/her money in clubs that...

    Bic failure

    So are you saying to me that your better keeping your money in the bank rather than invest in a club like Bridgend, Ponty or like sized clubs because they will never be allowed to reach the top??
