Strange things happen to you when you have grandchildren, this is my oldest grandson’s 6th birthday weekend and today I went to his birthday party rather than the match at the Stonex Stadium, an afternoon with all 5r of my grandchildren taking priority over Saracens? Whatever next?? Thanks to PRTV I can sit in the comfort of my living room […]
Bath made their journey up to North London on the back of a good win against the Champions, Harlequins. Saracens had been defeated by both Wasps and Gloucester in their previous 2 Premiership games. Both teams were missing international players, but 2 of Saracens’ Scots, in the ever improving Andy Christie and 100 Saracens cap man Sean Maitland had returned […]
And so the Salary Cap debacle rumbles on; the 35 points deduction and £5.36 million fine have been accepted by Saracens. That’s left the club at rock bottom in the Premiership table, with a huge uphill climb to avoid relegation. News has come today of the Salary Cap Manager carrying out a mid-season review of Saracens’ books for the current […]
Watching Saracens during the 6 Nations has been interesting in recent years. With only one 6 Nations game in my diary this year I’ve been to more club games than I usually make during this spell. The results during this time have been – 8th Feb – Worcester 22 Saracens 38 16th Feb – Saracens 33 Leicester Tigers 10 22nd […]
And so that’s the cricket season finished! Wow I’ve had an amazing summer, I’ve seen some amazing individual performances , there’ll be plenty of TV cricket over the winter, but I prefer my sport live, Rugby is my sport of choice over the winter months, Saracens are my team of choice, with the odd alternative team thrown in. Oh and […]
The start of the cricket season meant I was due to travel to Leeds to watch Essex play at Headingley, the atrocious weather meant I cancelled my plans leaving me free to spend the weekend at Allianz Park. SARACENS STORM V BATH UNITED I write this as a time when there’s a good deal of angst amongst Saracens supporters after […]
The Six Nations tournament saw both of these teams lose key players, that period was a mixed time for both Bath and Saracens with the Premiership results panning out as follows. Bath Bath 32 Northampton Saints 30 Win Bath 22 Harlequins 12 Win Bristol 12 Bath 11 […]
A South West Local Derby
Guest Blogger Charlie Brennan writes from the heart giving us her views about ‘what went wrong’ in 2015-16 for Bath Rugby. A great, in-depth article, well worth a read 47-10 is a score line that I won’t forget very quickly, although following this season it’s been a constant reminder of where we were and where we should’ve been. It […]
Back to August 2014 when I caught up with Mike Ford
I know I keep saying I’m going to make these blogs a Phlog – lots of photos not so many words – but I can’t seem to stop typing one I start! But, for Event 69 I really do mean it – Bath Rugby v Saracens – The Premiership Final! Something of a big game! I’ve already written my view […]
A fixture change for Saracens saw me contemplating no sport until the Sunday, that didn’t feel like a plan so I checked out the Premiership Rugby fixture list. The penultimate weekend of the season proper had a list of mouthwatering fixtures, it felt rude not to watch a game a day over the weekend! And so a ticket was bought […]
Having experienced the heady heights of the Press Box at The Champions Cup Final at Twickenham, my next ‘Event’ was of a different kind, but just as important. I had planned to do my watching Essex Cricket in the morning and London Skolars in the afternoon thing again, but a message from Charles Beer a Twitter friend to tell me […]
I’m so very tempted to get 2 Events out of this afternoon – and the rugby on show was certainly worthy of 2! I was reminded by a Press Release from Premiership Rugby that the culmination of the Academy season was to take place at Allianz Park on the 1st Monday of Half Term. I have no concept of why […]
In spite of it being Round 2 of the Six Nations Tournament, Premiership Rugby still continues. That seems slightly crazy, especially for those teams with lots of players featuring for their country. And so 2 such teams, Saracens and Bath Rugby faced each other at Allianz Park. My journey was a different one to my usual M25 madness. I was […]
An evening in a Hotel, in this case the Holiday Inn Express, Filbert Way, Leicester, the one opposite the King Power Stadium, tends to mean dinner alone. The hotel don’t have a restaurant so I wandered round to the Steak & Grill Restaurant attached. And so, the lady eating alone in the evening scenario occurred, somehow I often feel as […]
