Which team to support?

[Tony Manx]

Will be spending lot of time in West Oxon soon and the decision is what team to follow?

Obviously the team of choice remains Biarritz but that is now a big commute!!

So my choice seems to be between Saints, Bristol, Bath, Worcester, Coventry Wasps and even London Irish as all more or less the same travel time.

The nearest is probably Gloucester but have never really taken to them for some totally unknown reason!!

Would be interested in views before make up my mind for season ticket for next season!!

Worcester
Proper club, decent ground, good fans and are on the up.

 

[Irish boy]

Irish we are cheap awful stadium however try to play decent rugby and academy is ridiculously good

Bath Academy are going down next season right?

Worcester are probably my local club these days and their fans in the area seams pretty genuine unlike that Gloucester lot. Certainly worth a look I think probably be the side I get my kids into when I have them. supporting your local side is always way better than one miles away.

Bristol, biased I know but

Will be an exciting season.
Good players
Proper, knowledgeable fans
New, modern ground.

Anyone but B**h though

Last season I'd have heartily recommended Bath to anyone interested in sport coming to this area. But we've played so poorly all season by just not clicking I don't need to reccomend anyone share in our misery.

Premiership.

 

[SelimNiai]

Premiership.

He did say for next season and, without wanting to get ahead of myself, we should be there then.

 

[ratsapprentice]

You "should have been there" two seasons ago!

 

[bertiec]

What about tigers. Not far from wasps.

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

If you're not a fan of any in particular, why not mix it up and go to a couple at each?

And dont I bloody well know it!

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Bath hopefully your Biarritz luck will rub off on them and they will be relegated next season.

2 Choices for you endorsed by TRF Olyy and Selim Niai -:

Worcester or Bristol, both are proper clubs with friendly and knowledgeable followers, Bristol probably edge it slightly as they have the better history, but you will enjoy the atmosphere at either.

Thanks guys......think Old Hooker got it right and I should spread my charm around and maybe only then narrow it down to one club which I could end up supporting!

Reckon you will guess which one I end up supporting.......there will be an idiot in charge, management will be a shambles resulting in the dressing room becoming too powerful, financial problems will require a bail out and relegation will ensue........!!

Maybe there's a smaller club to support in lower leagues who enjoy every new face joining them...

Yeah, can't go wrong with the Worcester Blue Bulls...

Just like London Irish next season

I'd just attend a lot of matches of the different teams and I'd see then which I like best. After all, USAP were only one of the teams I liked before I ended up going there to watch them live. Just look how well that worked out for me. :cryy:
