Great stuff and hope all goes well.

But I hope you realise you're not supposed to like TGG in Bath, it's reserved for Northerners who are the only ones to see its good points.

Seems to be another good news story of a group trying to make a go of RL.  Good luck to them.

[Mushy]

Brilliant, am absolutely delighted.

Being a Batheaston resident I'd say this is pushing the 'Bath' moniker a little though!

Both Bath City FC and the Rugby Union club are looking to redevelop grounds and getting to use those in the summer would be a fantastic target. The Union club shouldn't be too antagonistic knowing a lot of the people involved but might not necessarily see much benefit either. Then again the ground is on trust land so at least playing on it in the summer without necessarily using all the facilities might not be too tough. Bath City might even fancy a semi pro League club at some point to make better use of the stadium so you should consider engage in with them I suggest. 

Well done!

YES - i Just like your facebook page, hope to read some good news soon

[Bearman]

Great stuff. Just out of interest how do you pronounce Bath?

Same as in "E's gone for an early bath".

Congratulations to Bath Rugby League, and let's hope they do well in their build. 

It's great to see new clubs coming in, and it is the way the game needs to go. I hope the RFL don't abandon you when you are established like they have done with so many other community clubs this year.

Unless you have an RFL man on the inside, you may not get much support.

Are the Bath & Wiltshire Romans still going? Could build up a healthy rivalry in a few years!

Thanks for the positive comments Oxford, we aim to 'convert' the Bath region to TGG, just needs a kick-start to inspire and influence

Hi Mushy,

In the medium to long term vision for the club we would certainly be interested in getting into the heart of Bath at a major sporting venue either the football or the rugby league and ultimately bid for a semi professional status at some point in the next few years but lets see how it goes, in the short term we hope to under promise and over deliver.

Do you have any contacts?

Thank you

How is  this going?

I have sent one player along already, and might find another for them.

Yes they're still going and, apparently, there is an unhealthy hatred between the two teams due to a split which I actually don't know anything about apart from the fact its happened.
