Post Match Discussion: Full Time at Ashton Gate
u/Pure_Wonder3046 — 12 days ago
First time visit to Franklin Gardens for Saints v Bath
Also first time going to a game solo [f] - what are the vibes like?
Also planning on driving - is leaving 45mins extra drivetime to get parked enough?
Slightly anxious but so so excited to finally get back to watching live rugby. Thanks in advance for any advice!

Bristol player ratings results
Another game at Ashton gate, another loss and the ratings reflect what was a pretty disappointing day. 25 responses is a big decrease on last week, but still a substantial sample size.
Man of the match goes to an opposition player for the first time ever, with Harry Randall receiving 1 more vote than both Alex Mitchell and Fitz Harding. It seems like real indictment that in the voting a Bristol player was first, joint second and then joint 4th.
For the average ratings Mitchell (6.76) is the clear winner with George Hendy (6) the only other player to average 6 or above.
Ion Neculai (3.12) had a terrible week on the ratings, he now has the 4th lowest rating since this started and Robbie Smith (3.44) didn't do much better. Both are the first players to break into the top 10 worst ratings since the tigers away game last year, which still holds 8 of the top then and the whole top 3.
Pater's 50:22 provided a brief moment of hope and wins the moment of the match award for a day where there wasn't much to celebrate.
Fin Smith keeps top spot in the season long average rating competition, Pater and Mitchell leap up to second and third respectively but literally everyones average took a dip, a good game to miss?
