A great fanbase, great stadium and a club culture where players perform or of their skins when in the hoops. We signed Vesty from tigers did nothing Moody turned to glass. Ford, ok that went well. They got rid of Cockers to get new ideas in, not worked out they will has it. Can Borthers turn it around next year? We need to throw the kitchen sink at sale come Sunday, then hope Sarries have given up, especially with out Farrell, then get Glaws drunk before the last match. All without picking up any injuries of course.

I think it started to go wrong when Peter Wheeler stopped being involved in the management of the club - that seemed to be when board level decisions (key appointments / sackings / culture etc) deteriorated

On the other hand, I have been enjoying watch Bristol cut loose and the fact that rugby has been on twice a week has been a real boon.
Too Much Water Sep 2020 3:33pm, 11 Sep 2020 7,584 posts	0 Too Much Water Northampton have definitely been biggest disappointment. Could have had a playoff place if they’d taken a different approach.

Eynsham Red Sep 2020 7:11am, 14 Sep 2020 6,404 posts	0 Eynsham Red I would have liked to watch all of the games that BT didn’t offer this weekend. Good results for Tigers and Baff. Bristol rested the first team but still managed a bonus point defeat. I fancy them for a top four position looking at their final two games. It’s a little too close to call for the other three contenders as to who might miss out.
Too Much Water Sep 2020 8:43am, 14 Sep 2020 7,586 posts	0 Too Much Water All games are available on the BT sport app on smart TV / tablet etc but you need to subscribe to BT sport (as opposed to have BT via sky or Virgin etc - confusing isn’t it). The app is also showing full replays of games and they’ve finally stopped showing the result when you click on the match to watch the full replay. I think Bath and Wasps have the momentum and one fewer game to play (Sale have the Prem rugby cup final and Bristol a Euro QF) although they also have to play Saracens and Exeter respectively in their final game. So in summary I haven’t got a clue!
