  • Ep 194: 'Flagging the Shed'. Tales from Gloucester after a disappointing result but an excellent away day experience
    Mar 31 2025

    Miles and Pete break down the humbling defeat at Gloucester by piecing together what they can remember from an excellent away day in the Shed.

    Bristol's defence left a little bit to be desired but fair play to Gloucester as they were on fire and it was an honour to witness once of best no-look offloads in the history of rugby union.

    Despite the heavy defeat, the Bears still remain in second place after this mini block of games but the pack are closing fast. Does the fact that we have shipped 15 tries in two games mean that our play off place may be in jeopardy or will Pat and the boys sort the defence out in time for the visit of Tigers on Easter Sunday?

    We muse on this as well as hearing from fans from both teams both before and after the game.

    Sit back, listen and enjoy our away day travelogue!

  • Ep 193 - Bears and Chiefs serve up a try-feast at the Gate as the Prem restarts with a bang
    Mar 23 2025

    We run through the key moments of the 52-38 victory at a pulsating Ashton Gate as the Bears saw off the Chiefs with a disciplined second half display after losing Santi Grondona to a red after 30 minutes.

    The first half however...

    We also briefly look forward to the away fixture at Kingsholm with a game of 'who is most likely to...?' and finish with a short discussion about the merits or otherwise of the proposed plan to introduce dedicated away fan sections. Finally, Miles doffs his tweed cap to the career of Amber Reed who announced her retirement this week.

    All this and more as Pete, Miles and Lee share a cheeky pint and a bit of rugby banter at the Bristol Beer Factory Taproom.

  • Ep 192 - Return of the Thack (and others) - Chiefs preview, Womens' semi final review and season card renewal chat
    Mar 17 2025

    We look forward to the return of the Premiership after the long Six Nations hiatus with a little help from Sports Reporter Elgan Alderman from The Times who was the ONLY journalist to tip Bristol for glory at the start of the season. We ask him why he went against the tide of peer opinion and whether he thinks we've still go it in us to go all the way.

    We also review the Bears Woman' semi final loss at Queensholm and ponder over the fact that every single stat apart the final score went in our favor and ask whether we let another chance of glory slip through our fingers.

    Finally we chat about the season ticket renewal announcement and briefly discuss whether the 'new' old news linking Pat to some sort of job with the Wales National team is hot air or something more solid...

    Running order:

    0:00 - 3:00: Intro and update on the state of Lewis' relationship.

    3:00 - 14:20: Review of the Womens' valiant defeat at Queensholm with stats!

    14:20 - 19:40 - Setting the scene for the Premiership restart with a car metaphor.

    19:40 - 24:25: Elgan Alderman from The Times.

    24:25 - 36: 50 - A meandering Chiefs preview including injury return speculation.

    36: 50 - end: Season ticket renewal package and Pat to Wales chat.

    Let us know what you think!
