Are You An Obsessive Bath Rugby Supporter?
By Glen Leat
July 7 2009
So what makes an obsessive Bath Rugby supporter? Is it the number of years following the club, how often one goes to away matches or even distance travelled to attend home games or is it the amount of beer you’ve supped in honour of our club? Who knows? Well now is a chance to test yourself against the ERE scale of what makes an obsessive Bath Rugby supporter by taking the following test.
  All you have to do is score yourself against the following list, tot up the points you've earned and e-mail your score to Glen (glenleat@btinternet.com) to add you to the "ERE Obsessive Supporters" league table. Oh, and by the way, this is a bit of fun so complete accuracy isn't obligatory.

You count all points that apply so, for example if you have been a season ticket holder for 15 years you'd count the points for last year, past 5 years, past 10 years and past 15 years, scoring 50 points.

A league table of names and scores will be published.
