The Club’s response is like burning down your house because you want to convince your family you need a smoke alarm. Just buy the smoke alarm. This is deeply damaging to a once greatly run club. It’s also damaging to other community clubs in Wales, and rugby. Fix it.

Not for girls? Wow. And there’s a Girls Hub based at the club too. Huge blunder this guys, which gives an indication of the views there on female participation. You may want to consider apologising and a redo.

Join millions who have switched to Grok.

RT @LlantwitRFC: We’re outta here. This just isn’t the place for us anymore. It doesn’t feel the welcoming, friendly place we make our clu….

The author provides proof against his own argument here. A self-own as my kids call it. Referencing Llantwit Fardre Youth as an example of a pathway now broken as it does not lead to Pontypridd RFC; only for that Club to possibly be the biggest example of a thriving pathway 🤦🏻‍♂️

Unhappy with Welsh rugby? . Think the WRU should do better? . Want to do something about it? . It’s the WRU AGM this Sunday: the opportunity Clubs have, as stakeholders, to hold those running the Union to account. Speak to your Club’s representatives and make your voice count.

I can’t help but think that Pontypridd fans must be absolutely gutted that the club’s decision makers have deprived them of this. For what?.

In the next 24 hours, community clubs will learn of their funding allocation for next season. That includes clubs in the new community premiership. That will be a significant change for some. Has there been parachute payments planned for those who could be caused difficulties?.

Question for other Club Directors/Committee: is it common to not appoint auditors? . We have every year at my club. I thought it was good governance. Have we been doing so unnecessarily?.

There’s something connecting that map of Pro Club locations, and this map of population densities. Can you see what it could be?

Disgusting. @jeremyrogers25 please take action👇🏻.

Great commercial result. But dreadful kit designs. Utter garbage. At least make an effort Macron. Resembles something from an entry level range. Who at the WRU was happy to sign these off? I doubt players, fans, or Vodafone would be excited by these.

About time WRU. Change is coming.

Left today's WRU AGM today feeling that, for the first time ever, the Board and Executive actually know what they're doing. It's the hope that kills you.

This is fantastic.

Really like this from @dragonsrugby . While this is sponsor/commercially driven, anything that puts grassroot clubs & pro clubs in the same space will have benefits. Add in opportunities for operations, pathways, shared resources etc = real gains. Other pro clubs take note.

Welsh rugby clubs are our own worst enemy. Shocking to hear the number of clubs being investigated for paying players; including more than one club playing youth (Under 18) players. Stop it.

Does anyone have any contacts at @Glais_RFC ? Unable to contact direct because of settings. Just want to make sure they are aware of certain sensitive information.

Email received by clubs today, providing initial shortlisting detail on the Elite Domestic Competition. I wonder if there will be any dark horses going for this.

Loving seeing all the club team-sheets. Top tips:. Pro-club fans, get along to a few Community games this year. Go back and have a pint in the Clubhouse. You will have a great experience. Grassroots fans, get to a few Pro-club games. Forget old biases. You might just enjoy it.
