I've been to Moscow to watch Wales, it was minus 18, I have also been to Ebbw Vale to watch the Whites (pre regions) and Ebbw was colder. The coldest place I have ever been. |
The thing is they can't recreate the real derbys.
Pre regions the rivals were real.
There were connections to the club.
If they were to lump us together with cardiff or wrexham as a super club.
Would we still have the same passion for the new club created?
The Ospreys should stay in Swansea.
But Bridgend had the Warriors home games before the region was scrapped.
If they do move to Bridgend I wouldn't be shocked if they then scrap it all together. |  |

It would have to be you trying to go one better 
Anyway neither were colder than on the top of Levi's Ski Resort, -28 one day up on top of the World Cup, I came down there sharpish straight into a cafe for a warm, I had icicles in places I didn't think were possible. |  |

I started watching Neath when I moved up to Neath used to enjoy my time spent watching with a couple of my brother-inlaws and a mad keen mate.
I recall one mad game up at Ebbw Vale watching with said mate, Neath were struggling throughout the first have and it looked a lost cause, I think were well down on the score can't remember exactly may have been somin like 20-5, the big guns come out for the 2nd half and produced a masterclass of Rugby, it was a bit of a rough afternoon with the conditions not so much rain, but the wind, always the same up Ebbw though, had a few fishing butties up there, one in particular sadly passed now and we fished all of the water's up and around there and it was nearly always rough,  |

Irrespective of my opposition to this move St Helens would be a really nice place to watch a match if it is developed properly it will give the seafront bars and hotels a short in the arm. I general costs are shares by synergies.
I went to a cricket match Glamorgan v West indies in the time of Rodney Ontong John Hopkins and Arthur Francis etc |  |

Bridgend is the better ground, St Helens is a rubbish stadium and is completely unsuitable for top level rugby. If the Oās are looking for a long term home and they have money to spend, then it has to be in Swansea, if they font have any money and thereās limited support available from the council then it has to be Bridgend.
I watch a lot of club rugby, but have no interest in going to watch regional rugby. | | | |

I would imagine there are plans for a big updating with the end of cricket. The rate payer will be asked to fund it for he benefit of a rugby organisation short on cash. There is no need for this but councils like schemes involving concrete and glass. | |

The university will chip in like they did with fairwood.

The university has been severely hit by the drop in foreign (particularly Chinese) student numbers. 189 people have come forward to take voluntary redundancy recently. It is hoped that there will not be any compulsory redundancies. The financial situation is described as āchallengingā. | | | |

Less students means less staff so I would expect redundancies to be a natural response. The university is desperate to tie in with major sporting sections to enhance its reputation and get a greater share of elite sporting students. They do find finances for these projects because it lifts the profile of the university world wide and encourages more students to enroll. | | | |

One better? I'm just agreeing that Ebbw Vale is freaking cold 
O think Bridgend would see the end of the Ospreys too. Mostly because when the WRU looked at culling a region they'd have an ecuse when crowds were even lower up there, assuming they were of course. I just don't see it gaining traction up there, they have even less attachment to the O's than Swansea and neath people. | | | |

Just call it Swansea and be done with it. I am Neath born and follow SCFC. It has been 20 years or so now and the grizzly old boys are gone. Cardiff have pulled that stroke during Covid 19. The Blues are no more. | |

That should just about destroy any identity with Swansea. |
Well they took the cricket away (St Helens was synonymous with Glamorgan until the ātest match vanity projectā in Cardiff gained momentum). Iām disgusted by them and wouldnāt shed a tear if they went bust TBH | | | |

We need to look to the future not pine for the past. We Welsh appear to love what was unsustainable and reject a structure that should be able to compete.
Neath, Pontypool, Bridgend, Pontypridd could never have competed with the Irish and Scottish regions. Glamorgan could not have survived at St Helens. The anti reform mentality is for 'stone cold losers' where the only two options they offer are "going bust" or "going bust".
The thinking is so warped that an airport 30 mins from Cardiff and 45 mins from Swansea is trashed by the people it serves.
The Ospreys have given up on a good to go 20,000 seater stadium with hospitality capability. They now want something smaller with the rate payer picking up the tab. It should be a very impressive facility. Not necessary but impressive thanks to the Swansea ratepayers who do not seem to need the money for anything else.
SCFC will replace them with the women's team. | |

Three teams Swansea Cardiff and Newport. The Sgarlets can play out of Wrexham unless the local support it. The populations are similar. | |

Why would the Scarlets play in Wrexham when they have their own ground and their attendances are higher than the Ospreys, who play some matches in London. Its the Ospreys who need to sort themselves out and those are the words of season ticket holding mates who are not renewing until they do. | | | |

Population has no relevance in regards support in rugby. Average attendances for season 22/23, this season is still in progress. Cardiff 7,719, Scarlets 7,375, Ospreys 5,800 and Dragons 5,100. Your argument about the Llanelli population not being large enough to support a rugby team is blown out of the water. Again don't let your dislike of something or an area cloud your judgment, you do make yourself look very silly. | | | |

Pathetic attendance figures when the Press (WoL in particular) would have us believe that Rugby Union is our National sport. | | | |
