I can remember being in a sports shop with sunny parker pre a Pontypridd cup final when I was a child. I was star struck these guys were gods in the valleys. The Welsh club game has been dead for years. Next season I can't wait for Pontypridd V Ystrad Rhondda. Aslong as it doesn't clash with the Swans I am going home and away. the new league is a gimmick. | |

The ospreys new ground? on 15:46 - Jun 14 by ReslovenSwan1 | The council built a smallest stadium as a multi function stadium for the Swans and Ospreys. Both are losing big money. Ospreys it seems " dream'" of 6k in their own stadium. Wow what an ambition. Shrinkage is never a good business plan. For bigger games they will ring Coleman up for a favour.

As I said, they’re following the same model as Glasgow, Edinburgh and Benetton. The plan is build an appropriate size stadium to build an atmosphere, which it’s lacking at the .com. As we know with regional rugby, you’ll never please everyone, but at least they’re trying to innovate | | | |

The size of the stadium means not a jot if you don't fill it. We can't and are losing a fortune every year. You have to respect the Ospreys for actually trying to do something about it, stay at the .com and they will never even break even. Meanwhile Swansea City lose a fortune year on year and do nothing, even the chairman tried to say he didn't start until August last year to distance himself from the clusterfeck of last summer. I know which owners get my respect. | | | |

Coleman arrived in early May 2023.but Winter did not leave until the end of June. The accounts were for the period ending 31 July 2023. Winter was handing over the reigns to Coleman up until the end of month 11. Coleman was in sole charge for only one month of that year. He gos now in sole charge starting in August 2024. Welsh rugby is shrinking and the Os want a "comfortable home". to accommodate shrinkage.They gave a weak mentality that wants to live of the WRU and Cardiff people. This is not " doing something about it" in my book. If they ever get successful they will have to leave the 6,000 stadium. Being successful is not in the plan. | |

The Ospreys are more likely to play in London again than Cardiff, the guy is clueless. | | | |

How an they grow in a 6000 seater stadium? . They cannot without a huge WRU subsidy. That is what they will be relying on and the kind cooperation of Swansea city to help them out when 6500 want to go. | |

Like other successful clubs with similar capacity, from non match day income that is not available where they currently are. St Helens is a prime location and the meeting/conference/wedding opportunities are exceptional. You really don't understand the business opportunities in central Swansea. | | | | Login to get fewer ads

The meeting conference wedding events would be all in direct competition with Swansea.com. Not only is there a direct loss of income but new competition for business in a tight market. Fans on here call The Ospreys a "burden to be removed" . Way off the mark as usual.. | |

There's many venues in competition with the Swansea.com. So you are starting to accept that St Helens may be a viable option for the Ospreys and where they are going to source other income, that's a start. Possibly if the owners of Swansea City got their acr together and didn't waste so much money on senseless transfers and top heavy management the loss of the Ospreys wouldn't be such a major issue, particularly to you. It's interesting how your tact has changed during the duration of this thread. | | | |

I've said it before you don't half post guff, I know you live in the hills somewhere, Swansea is a big City with a population of over quarter of million, not including surrounding areas. The only one off the mark, is you time after time! | |

It’s not a subsidy from the WRU it’s payment for the services provided. The WRU should back date this payment for the covid years when they were the only home Union to lumber their pro teams with a covid related loan due to incompetence | | | |
The ospreys new ground? on 14:58 - Jun 15 with 558 views | onehunglow | It’s ludicrous a thread about the regions rugby club sees contempt and ridicule. Rugby is an inter goal part of Swansea. Some of Wales greatest players have been born in the city and its environs. Conversely,many rugby people detest football and its inherent grotesquely overpaid ,selfish cheating clowns that fester on pitches country wide . The name of Swansea should never have been lost ,ideally branded The Jacks. Most of us played both and loved both . Our dads took us to both Now ,we have the pitiful “ egg chasing “ epithet utilise to simply insult anyone who loves the game of rugby . This term makes me puke ,almost as much as the crap successive managers if our club come up with . | |

He has defeated his own argument just as succesfully as anyone else on here. Then he demands the Osprey's want a WRU sunsidy when part of the reason the Osprey's are looking at this is the cut in funding from the WRU. Clueless doesn't cover it. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/67916734 Actually it does prove something, either he is totally clueless and does no research before he conveys his "opinions" or he's a total troll, Which is it, Res? | | | |

And some old timers and indeed those with a knowledge of their home town team know that Swansea was the first club side to beat all three Southern Hemisphere sides led by the Swansea born great Hayne Tanner, a schoolboy at the time . Proud to be a Jack includes this fact | |

Yes I know. Swansea region. It’s like the term,Jack,it’s expanded somewhat . Did Inpost the truth or what? Why do (some) Swansea fans detest the Ospreys and why use the puerile pejorative “ egg chasing” Fact is, many stay away from football games to watch Wales rugby internationals ,painful as they are | |
