As long as they can pay their way, I can’t see a problem. |
Totally independent identities. They could still back the Ospreys financially without it impacting the football side. Get into the English Premiership after a couple of seasons and the stadium sponsorship would go through the roof with dual sports. The English Rugby clubs take a lot of supporters away which would help to fill it, better atmosphere bigger crowds. |  | |  |

its a good idea as long as it is followed up with the redevelopment of St Helens which needs the council and university on board as this city should go ahead with their plans in spite of what that pathetic capital try on. Swansea is some kind of hindrance. Cricket then rugby as Rich says. They would go for football as well. It is bizarre that Radio Wales is giving positive comments about Wrexham's spawny arrival in the play off's. That never happens when Swansea do well. |  |

You are not allowed into the top tier if English Rugby unless your ground holds more than 10,000, St Helens won't. | | | |

And unless really significant investment is provided in the infrastructure then that’s not going to happen. |  |

Back to the stadium is the only viable option to try and gain the future investment required to progress. | | | |

If the Swans allowed it, and they probably wouldn't. Hosting the Ospreys costs the ground money. Attendances just weren't big enough to cover the expense of opening up even a couple of stands. |  |

Yes but wasn’t the cost of the matchday the responsibility of the Ospreys? | |

Jase
It hurts but Wrexham council supports the club like ours did not
They will get to PL and eclipse both us and Cardiff
That will be a bitter pill
However , that’s reality
Swansea has always been shat on both by local council , Senedd and Cardiff media
Wrexham are well set and will grow
They will struggle though on PL | |

I feel it was an absolutely disgusting decision by the WRU.
I also feel that all 4 regions should have stood together , instead of looking after themselves.
Rugby in Wales is different to football. Rugby in a wales doesn’t get enough bums on seats at region level. Which is crazy really as for example, a few close friends played for Neath in the 80s. I would often go and watch, there would by about 7000-8000 proper supporters crammed in. Now, the Ospreys can hardly get 4000 in the ground.
They rely heavily on the WRU funding them, about £7 million a year each, so have become lazy in respect of having to fund themselves.
However, Cardiff basically went bust and the WRU bailed them out.
Do the WRU think they will save money by having 3 regions ? They won’t.
As for the Wales rugby team, it’s a joke.
£100 and upwards for a ticket.
The ordinary fan is priced out. All you get are the well off people, usually spotted in jeans, shirt, jacket, and brown shoes. True.
Then the daffodil lot who haven’t a clue of any rules of rugby. Quite pathetic really.
Nest season get back to the Liberty ( I am the first to moan when they cut the pitch up, but to survive they need to be there). Supporters need to turn up, show that the Ospreys are worth keeping, with 10,000 minimum crowds.
Surely there is someone with dosh who would buy them and help fund them.
Show the WRU that they are wrong. |
Great stuff
Absolutely right
How does Ed feel about it
A rugby coach , a Swansea man . Very odd he doesn’t post rugby
He knows the game , both codes | |

Bradley and Tierney confirm if the deal to buy Cardiff is confirmed there will be no Ospreys after the end of the 26/27 season in a meeting with Rob Stewart they refused to allow the full minutes from the meeting to be published
A vote of no confidence should be called immediately against this woman and Collier-Keywood the damage this pair have done is beyond words |  |

To cull a region, any region like that with no thought for the consequences is nothing short of mindless vandalism.
Even if you look at it purely from a practical point of view, it’s no more than a plaster on a gunshot wound. The problem you have in Welsh rugby needs to be tackled from grass roots upwards not at the top! |  |

They're dumping the most successful region and keeping the weakest, you couldn't make it up.
Plus a region that has produced the most International players out of the 4 regions as well, its an absolute joke. |  |

Absolute scum! The lot of them. Although no suprise. How can you lose Wales second City and surrounding towns. . Time to oust the useless WRU.
If this goes ahead that's me finished with all Welsh Rugby including the National team. | | | |

I'll keep watching the National Team because a Welshman but there'll be no interest in regional rugby from me. | |

I never thought I’d say this but I’ve lost all interest.
I’m probably an outlier on a football board but up until now I’d have rather Wales won the World Cup than the Swans win the Prem.
Now I think I’ll leave Welsh rugby until there’s significant change at the top. | | | |

My God , do they hate Swansea
It makes independence both ludicrous and laughable
The second city of the country dumped upon
Two out of three clubs 7 miles apart
The least Welsh part of Wales
Grotesque | |

I walked past St Helens the other day, as was reminded that here was the first club side to beat Australia, New Zealand and South Africa.
I'd add obscene to grotesque. | |

Answers on a stamp , of course they hate us , they’ve used every opportunity regardless of what organisation to try and sorry to say succeeding getting one over on us.Ever since the vote on devolution and what a carve up that was up until now it’s been plain to see to everyone how much Cardiff centric Wales has become , be it from the senedd , the withdrawal of funding to expand the marina only to see that monies being spent on Barry, the loss of our county cricket club , the Welsh media , virtually every aspect of our lives has been made to feel we’re second best to an area which by luck has been allowed to suck jobs & opportunities in. | |
