DB: Do you think that the club will eventually get council planning permission to build this “new” stadium?
I use the term guardedly, as it looks to me as if both ends remain the same, the open stand gets a roof and the old covered stand is raised?

I think it was back in 1999 that the idea of the east stand being redeveloped and 'sinkable' with a grass roof was forst mooted and that opened the Charity can of worms. So this saga has been going on for at least 25 years now!
Reading on the Bath fan's site it does seem that we are closer than ever, with the planning application having been submitted and modifications made based on feedback from the relevant statutory bodies that are involved in a World Heritage setting.
So whilst I won't hold my breath, I think it is now 90% likely to happen.
Afterall, what is on the site at the moment hardly enhances the World Heritage status does it!

Having been to the Rec at Bath to watch a match, my worst nightmare is that they relocate out of town. There is something special about descending the steps next to the Pulteney Bridge and heading down the river bank to the stadium. Only the Principality Stadium in Cardiff comes close.

Good to see Worcester will be returning.

Agree. The club and supporters were shafted by an asset stripper who should be castrated, have his hands cut off and then be thrown in a cesspit.
Still, thanks for allowing us sign Ollie and Super Ted!

I was going to post that Bath have our Hollie refereeing and then she went and gave Sam Underhill a red card.
Still Bath are running a minor riot and the Saints are comfortably ahead against Clermont
