It's the second time I've visited the Rec for a Quins game and both times I've come away thinking the home support was really subdued and in contrast to the pre-match atmosphere in the town with every other pedestrian wearing a Bath rugby shirt with pride. In fairness, we've won on both occasions and yesterday we scored 2 tries in quick succession early on which may have contributed to the mooted atmosphere, but there were hardly any cheers/chants/songs from the home supporters all game unless they scored. The Dyson stand has no roof which may contribute to the lack of atmosphere, but I wondered if anyone else had the same experience ? Quins supporters were loud and proud in the away section as usual !

A bunch of us walking towards the stadium in full quins attire looking/feeling very joyful and happy whilst chatting with Bath fans. Pub atmosphere was great but soon as we hit the REC it all seemed so muted. Had problems getting in the ground due to gate problems with security shouting to get to our seats. Harlequins Chris M did his usual best to muster up support. Bath fans did their best to drown out COYQ with COY Bath! Thatchers cider helped our singing along too! Smiles all the way home!

A man who wants to lead the orchestra must turn his back on the crowd!

There was an Italian youth side (from Padova?) there in the SW corner making more noise than most! They loved it and were mixed on with a bunch of youths from Wimbledon, I think.

Talking to Bath fans before and after the game, they are fed up with the team and especially the management at the moment. TB not a we’ll like chap.

Yes, it reads like our board from last season.

Next season we could well be in the same position. It seems that when we end up in the top six and Champions cup our performance falls away in all competitions. Let us hope our new management change that.
