[QUOTE="BrisPete, post: 592956, member: 52221"] The rugby was OK. More than abit frustrated with Bristol (should be used to it by now). Overall though I thought the day was a bit flat. I think a 23rd game is a daft idea, but ignoring that the crowd was small. At 3752 (c. 1600 at Allianz Park and c. 1000 at Doncaster) it was fewer than there would have been at the Memorial Ground, or at Penzance, for Pirates v Bristol, and not many more than at Plymouth Albion. I'm sure that a few supporters went who wouldn't normally travel to away games, but basically it was four lots of away travellers and a sprinkling of Exeter Chiefs supporters. There was not much atmosphere. I sincerely hope they don't bother with another "Big Weekend of Rugby." There wasn't really anything to make me want to see it become a fixture of the season. [/QUOTE]
