(Even after Mitro et al had thoroughly punished their temerity in taking the the lead - twice- with the Mother of all Comebacks.) Not having a dig at Liverpool, they really were that quiet - and Bristol's support is that good." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CyderInACan Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Football's decision to halt all levels of the game over the weekend was ridiculous. Albeit postponed by a day, the Bears v. Bath game showed how respects should be paid - an impeccably observed minute's silence and an emotional rendition of GSTK. By the time we get back to AG for the football on the 1st October, that chance has gone for us. That said, if the footy wasn't off, there was no way they could've played the rugby!

It was a 'self-protection' measure to ensure that there were no broadcasts of fans behaving in a manner which would be embarrassing to the Football Leagues.
