The Fans
2000-2001
After an opening day victory over newly promoted Rotherham, Bristol had a disappointing 2000/01 season finishing ninth.
The team lost their first three Premiership games before turning their season around with a run of ten home matches without defeat, including wins over champions Leicester Tigers, and West Country rivals Bath.
The turning point coincided with the arrival of Argentine international fly-half, Felipe Contepomi who started to forge an unstoppable half-back partnership with countryman, Agustin Pichot.
Off the field, Jack Rowell became Managing Director and successful community initiatives, including the successful Kids Klub, saw the attendance figures rise.
