Bath City are facing debts of £700,000. Their stadium Mayday Trust Park (aka Twerton Park) is run down and chairman Mandy Rigby considers that they should move to a purpose built stadium elsewhere in the city. However, the Bath City Supporters’ Society, the largest shareholders in the club, are unhappy about her plans and what they see as a lack of consultation.

Fans from other clubs are rallying round in a #SaveBathCity campaign to give them a bumper crowd for their match against Staines Town on February 2nd. However, even if they do ‘Pack the Park’ it is unlikely to offer more than short-term respite.
Bath has a strong rugby tradition and many of the inhabitants are known for their cultural rather than their sporting interests in any case. At one time, of course, the city boasted two non-league teams with gthe university-based Team Bath.
