Joint Regions Supporter Group Statement

Earlier this year, we, as the Supporter Groups of all four Welsh Regions, approached the WRU to voice our concerns regarding the issues and divisions in Welsh Rugby, asking for the opportunity to meet with the WRU's representatives to discuss our concerns.

This request was refused, and in effect dismissed out of hand.

We now feel that due to the escalation of those concerns, and in particular when we see what we consider to be the WRU's intransigence in the current impasse, that we must now make every effort to bring our concerns and views to the attention of all Welsh Rugby fans.





The time has come for all Scarlets and Welsh supporters to stand up and be counted.



Now, as never before, our future is under threat, and this time, it's at the whim of the very organisation that should be investing in, nurturing, and supporting the teams that produce the players that make it possible for the Welsh National team to compete with the best in the world.



The WRU created the Regions, not the clubs, supporters or sponsors. In addition to the many tens of millions of pounds benefactors and commercial sponsors have committed to sustaining the whole of Welsh Rugby over the last 10 years, every single season ticket holder and match attendee has committed thousands of pounds in support of their Region and its players.



Every single one of us deserves a voice and the Welsh Rugby Union cannot be allowed to simply turn its back on the very organisations and individuals that have provided its success.



We are currently working in co-operation with representatives of the supporters groups at the other Regions to launch a concerted, cohesive campaign to show the WRU just how we feel about their unacceptable narrow-mindedness, and to show our Regions just how much their future survival and success means to us as fans.



We therefore call on ALL supporters of the Scarlets, Ospreys, Blues and Dragons to unite in the fight for our very survival, and, in fact, the future of Welsh Rugby as a whole.

Diolch yn fawr iawn i chi gyd am eich cefnogaeth.

good statement, when are the regions visiting their feeder clubs to explain their case so we can try and get a vote of no confidence through?

We can't speak for the other 3 teams but, under a joint venture with ourselves, Nigel Short and Mark Davies were all set to attend a Q&A at Haverfordwest RFC a week ago but the current Euro-Crisis necessitated their attendance at so many meetings we had to postpone it.

They have given undertakings that this will take place in the New Year and that others will follow at different locations.

I wonder if there's anywhere on the Sir Gar/Ceredigion border which would be suitable for a venue?

In 1972, Roy Bergiers scored that try and said "that was for you lofty"

Ri'n ni Yma o Hyd!!

Da iawn

Inspiring prose, Crys.

Any offence taken on board is only a literate/cy consequence. Every attempt at humour is just that. No personal insult intended. Standards lowered for trolls.

I wonder if the club could be persuaded to make a brief, non critical statement about the situation. Maybe thanking Mr Lewis and the WRU for all their support, just before kick off on Sat. Us fans could then make our own feelings known for the assembled press and cameras

We're still still here!

good words, but what does unite mean in practice? does lofty have to burn his bra or what?

Let's get at em then! They are not going to bring my house down, not while there is breath in my body!!

History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage, need not be lived again.



There are disturbing rumours on Twitter that one of the regions has split from the rest, and the finger is getting pointed at the Scarlets.

Hope this is wrong.



Wales only true rugby region.
