Bath Rugby – Match Day Info

As any fan of the official Bath Rugby website, affectionately known as the ’Offy’, knows there is a guide to Getting to the Rec on the Bath Rugby website.

However, what both these facilities fail to understand is that Bath Rugby fans pumped up at the thought of seeing another multi try thrashing of local rivals with their unique brand of attacking flowing rugby need refreshment on the way to the ground.

To that end Bath Rugby fans themselves have compiled a list of recommended pubs, cafes and coffee shops to visit where a Bath rugby shirt is likely to meet up with friendly knowledgeable fans for a chat.

We not only have catered for those that like a beer but also those who abstain for whatever reason coupled with “the hungry hoards”.

Browse the list below together with useful POST CODES and given the problems of parking in the City of Bath the links and postcodes of the 3 PARK and RIDE facilities for drivers.

Bus and Bath Spa train links are also included.

If you missed out on adding your favourite venue NOW is the chance to add it in the comments below with any other snippets or stories that might be of interest to Bath Rugby fans.

We would love to hear from the Bath Rugby female fans and players if they have ‘match day info’, to share as well of course.

ENJOY THE GAME!
