Rumour - Bath Rugby to use stadium

The Times reporting Bath likely to play a couple of end of season matches at the SCL due to imminent redevelopment of The Rec next summer.

Hopefully it won't affect us, apart from any potential play-off semi, as it will be 15 May (Bath v Harlequins) and 5 June (Bath v Saracens).

Makes perfect sense for Bath and a good income stream for two games.

Even if we make the play-offs, I'm sure there will be flexability as to when the Bath game is held - plenty of times when London Irish were here when we played Saturday and they Sunday.

No real concern about the pitch as certainly the final game is post season.

Here we go again the 30 fat blokes rolling about on the grass argument again :D A couple of games at the end of the season, before we get a Dooleys/Nolans (or whatever former megastars of the pop world) concert to totally wreck things) in the summer, should be manageable.

That’s all fine and dandy but one would have thought Bristol would have been the more logical option and not without suitably sized stadia.

Guess we’re more desperate for the pennies they’ll throw us.

Guess they didn’t want share with Bristol, and the Memorial Ground is maybe too small? But Swindon is less of a trek for their fans.
