Bath allowed 1,000 fans at The Rec

Bath will welcome spectators back to the Recreation Ground tomorrow as they target another major step towards the Gallagher Premiership play-offs.

Victor y over Gloucester would take Bath second in the table behind runaway leaders Exeter.

Their final league game is away to Saracens on Sunday week, with play-off rivals Wasps, Sale Sharks and Bristol all having two matches left.

The west country derby will see 1,000 fans attend in a third crowd pilot Premier ship fixture, after matches at Harlequins and Gloucester earlier this month.

“For us, it is a great opportunity now because we have worked hard and put ourselves in a position for it to be a good opportunity,” Bath rugby director Stuart Hooper said.
