Hard lines to Bath, beaten narrowly by Northampton Saints in the Premiership final last weekend.
The June 1985 issue of Rugby World will offer some consolation to their fans, recalling their John Player Special Cup win that year as they retained their title, a reminder that history is always full of good news stories if you care to look for them.
From the cover picture of Roger Spurrell with the trophy through to a picture spread on their victory over London Welsh, this is a magazine that every bath fan can revisit with no fear of disappointment.
