Gloucester chief executive Alex Brown has urged supporters to “stay with us” after a dismal start to the Gallagher Premiership season.

A 51-26 loss to west country rivals Bristol was Gloucester’s sixth-successive league defeat.

They lie ninth in the table, having collected just 12 points from eight games, with only five victories recorded from the last 20 Premiership fixtures.

    John Plumtree gives a brutally honest assessment of the Sharks’ latest loss

    The six-match losing run has seen them concede more than 200 points and they are already 13 points adrift of the Premiership play-off pace.

    Gloucester now break for two rounds of European Challenge Cup action, travelling to Tbilisi to face Georgian side Black Lion before hosting French heavyweights Clermont Auvergne.

    And Premiership life is not about to get any easier for Gloucester either side of Christmas, with their next three opponents – Northampton, Harlequins and Bath – currently occupying top-five places.

    Since beating Newcastle on October 20, they have lost to Saracens, Sale, Bath, Exeter, Leicester and Bristol, which has inevitably ramped up external pressure on rugby director George Skivington.

    In an open letter to Gloucester supporters published on the club’s official website, former England lock Brown said: “As we enter a break from the Gallagher Premiership, I wanted to address the feeling among some of you following our disappointing start to the league season.

    “No team runs on to any pitch to lose and that is certainly not the case with this group. But we can’t get away from the results and we know it’s not good enough.

    “I understand some of you have broader frustrations regarding individuals, but I have no doubt whatsoever that everyone – players, coaches, staff – are dedicated to this club, to its success and have the talent to help us collectively achieve it.

    “While I can’t address every comment about why our performances haven’t translated into wins, I do want to reassure you that no stone is being left unturned in an effort to make you proud of this club and this team, again.

    “As we break from the Premiership and head into Europe, the next few weeks will give us an opportunity to review the start of the season, what has worked, what hasn’t and how we can reignite our Premiership campaign when it returns for our home game against Northampton.

    “In the meantime, please stay with us – I wholeheartedly believe in this club and I know you feel the same.”

    TRACE HACKER'S CRYPTO RECOVERY IS A GENUINE CRYPTO RECOVERY COMPANY


    It was a cold morning when I first realized the full extent of my loss. I had invested 150,000 euros into an online crypto platform, believing in their promises and the allure of quick financial success. But as the days passed, I discovered it was all a scam. My money was gone, and with it, my dreams of financial security.

    The feeling of helplessness and devastation was overwhelming. I tried everything to recover my funds contacting authorities, searching for solutions online, and connecting with others who had been through similar scams—but nothing seemed to work. I felt completely lost, as though there was no way back.One Sunday, feeling utterly defeated, I decided to visit Grace Church in Dublin, Ireland. I was searching for some peace and comfort. During the service, I shared my story with the congregation, explaining how I had been scammed and lost everything. I didn’t expect much—just a chance to speak to someone.

    Afterward, a fellow parishioner came up to me. He had been listening closely, and after hearing my situation, he shared that he had once been in a similar place.

    He had fallen victim to a scam too, and like me, thought his money was gone for good. But someone had recommended a service called TRACE HACKER'S CRYPTO RECOVERY to him. He decided to reach out to them, and with their help, he had managed to recover his lost funds.

    He suggested I contact them, believing they could help me too.

    Though I was skeptical, I was also desperate, so I wrote down their contact information. That evening, I called TRACE HACKER'S CRYPTO RECOVERY. From the moment we spoke, I felt a sense of professionalism and empathy that I hadn’t encountered before. They didn’t treat me like just another case. They listened to my story, took my concerns seriously, and reassured me that they would do everything they could to help.The recovery process was detailed and transparent. They kept me updated regularly, explaining each step they were taking. Weeks passed, and though I was anxious, I held onto hope. Then, out of nowhere, I received the incredible news: TRACE HACKER'S CRYPTO RECOVERY had successfully recovered 95% of my 150,000 euros. It felt like a miracle. I couldn’t believe it. Thanks to the team at TRACE HACKER'S CRYPTO RECOVERY, I was able to regain my financial footing and rebuild emotionally. I’m now more cautious than ever, but I’m also deeply grateful.

    Without the kind recommendation from that parishioner at Grace Church, I would never have found the help I so desperately needed.

    Today, I’m on the path to full recovery, and I can confidently say that TRACE HACKER'S CRYPTO RECOVERY gave me a second chance.

    Their dedication and expertise truly made all the difference in my life.
