Pete, Miles and a special 'pod royalty' guest sit down with a cheeky beer at the Bristol Beer Factory Taproom and discuss the season ahead more generally and the upcoming campaign opener at Sale in particular. It is episode 231 by the way, despite what you heard otherwise!

• Will we make the play offs?
• How far will the 'next men up' step when the injuries hit?
• Will we adapt our style and bring in more tactical kicking?
• Is Pedro Rubiolo the key to our success?
• Have all our competitors improved their squads more than us?
• How will we counter a strong Sale team who have recruited well and tend to always beat us at home?
• Is an early win essential when you see what is coming in October and November?

Questions, questions, questions and maybe a few answers!

Join us for season 8 as we yet again start out on our quest to win that elusive title.

Up the Bears!

Let us know what you think!

The lads are back for another season.

They whip through news and updates from the off season, briefly review the first Prem Cup game and then give their thoughts, hopes and opinions on the season ahead.

Is this the year?

Join Pete, Lee and Miles for cheeky beer and a bit of Bristol rugby banter...

In this last episode of yet another eventful but ultimately unsuccessful season we unashamedly put the stopwatch away and ramble on until we run out of gas.

We chart our performances through the season and reminisce over the ups, the downs and the in betweens. It's actually quite a cathartic experience and leads us into a more wide ranging discussion about what coming 6th actually means both in terms of this season in particular and where we are as a club more generally.

Squad size, salary spend, injuries, Academy progression, The Big Day Out and yes,. marketing, all get a mention. It feels like we put things to bed and tuck them up ready to go again in September.

Thanks to all our listeners and followers for all your input especially those of you who make the effort to pen short, sharp summaries, poems and at times fantastic rants. We also appreciate meeting many of you face to face and it always makes us remember why we continue with this labour of love....

By fans, for fans!

Stay stay safe, have a good summer and....

Up the Bears!
