For a number of years now the posters on Ere & latterly COML have adopted players and coaches from the Bath squad. Initially the idea was for adopters to provide a short report on their adoptees performances, but with larger squad sizes this happens rarely now. However the August tradition of adopting a player for the season continues.
For those interested in the methodology of the process, the players and coaches are each assigned a random number, and posters on the forum then select a number from the range. The numbers are matched and the appropriate player is adopted.
Tempting though it would be to have Old Bathonian adopt Kyle Eastmond, Bri adopt the Fords, or Bod to have adopted SIM or Gary Gold, the draw is random.
Many posters have taken to incorporating their adopted player into the signature, and some are building up a decent team of past and present players.
So onto the important stuff – who has been adopted by whom for the forthcoming season….

Bath Badger can now start preparing signatures for a few of you!
There are still some players who haven’t been adopted yet….
Fearns | Carl |
Watson | Anthony |
Eastmond | Kyle |
Webber | Rob |
Baldwin | Tom |
Palma-Newport | Kane |
I sometimes wonder what the players think of this concept (if they know about it!). Maybe the club should have a special ‘Meet the Parents’ evening – come Flats, you know it makes sense!

Right, in the light of the hapless official site (come on Flats get it sorted!), and some further digging, it appears that Tom Baldwin, Joe Buckle, JJ Kilmartin, James Tyas, and will Tanner have all left, and Charlie Ewells, Tom Ellis and Tom Woolstencroft have arrived at the academy.
So, Bathboyo, Froome Lurkers, johnnyf and Susanne all need replacement adoptees. I propose that we 'use up' the unadopted first team squad first, so they each get:-
Bathboyo ~~~~ Carl Fearns
Froome Lurkers ~~~~ Antony Watson
johnnyf ~~~~ Kyle Eastmond
Susanne ~~~~ Rob Webber
That leaves the Kane Train and the three new academy boys still needing to be adopted.

I can't. I pay someone to read for me. I just lie on my back with my eyes closed.

Reminiscent of your school days Marshie. Only then you used to have to lay on your front with your eyes closed.

For protection purposes can I adopt Marshie please?
