When I saw that link, cutting off at big ...

I thought, 'Big Beard Award?'

Seriously though. Bobby comes across a genuinely nice guy; quite unusual for a journalist. Well deserved.

Yes - Bobby had big boots to fill when Paul Smith left the Evening Telegraph to join Wasps but he has done a fabulous job.

I read the Premiership stories on the news now site and Bobby’s articles regularly feature there. He works very hard to report on all things Wasps.

Nice fellah n’all.

Well done Bobby.

Well done to him.

Couldn’t find Lies Reid in the nominations or winners list....funny that.

Does Bobby Bridge write articles on other subjects.. rugby in general (not just Wasps), or indeed non rugby matters?

Writes on all area rugby if his Twitter feed is anything to go on. Including weekly summary of all local matches.

I did email Bobby once and he took the time to reply and answer my questions. I doubt many journalists do that.

I wonder if he lurks on this site?

I also have had emails back and forth with Bobby. Takes a lot of trouble. Can't fault him.

We could have a new thread.. OnceAWasps Cluedo - Who's Bobby.

BTW - I've just noticed I've gone over a 1000 posts so I'd like to thank Vesp (and Raggs I think) for running the site. It must be very time consuming

That's great - I've really enjoyed his coverage of Wasps.

Is it possible to pass on our congratulations?

Well - that would be great - its rare to get such honest and quality journalism. Enjoy all his stuff and especially the articles on mental health - which were very helpful, personally.
