It’s not over…
The hash tag ‘itsnotover’ has become the new mantra of Northampton Saints and if the lads keep playing the way they did on Saturday anything really is possible. It’s been a roller coaster few weeks for the club – the board, coaches, players and supporters have done some soul searching, some talking and for once…
It’s been a while and the Saints roller coaster is travelling at maximum speed!
Where to start? Well first off I suppose I owe anybody who reads this blog an apology. I have no excuse for my failure to write – it was my laziness, tiredness and an unwillingness to write that stopped me. This Saints’ season has been a classic Saints roller coaster ride which I am sure…

Saints grab win at Bath and return to the Gardens to meet Worcester
Photos from Bath Rugby vs Northampton Saints can be found here…. The trip to Bath on Friday afternoon was the usual M4 hell and then trundle through the lovely countryside.
