We have to give them ambition, hope and opportunities. Granted its too early currently but Parker being removed from the squad for a 36 year old does make you think. |

If we have already starred it will still take two years to get to Cat1 because off the necessary appraisals over the time period. At 18 you don't want to wait and there is no guarantee. |

Today is miles away from the dark days when first division clubs came knocking and bribed parents with holidays, cars and houses. Lets be honest with the lack of development through to the first team in recent years would you advise a child of yours to stay here. [Post edited 20 Jan 14:37]

This is the area that I believe should be changed immediately, it just doesn't make any sense. |

There was a legislative change to allow standing. |

No Ospreys to disappear as it stands. If this is the case the WRU should allow another consortium to buy the Ospreys, the other group who were interested in Cardiff? |

Less "working people" for Starmer to look after. |

With the Ospreys still owing a £5M covid loan to the Senedd and paying 8% interest whilst the English clubs pay 2% to Westminster, I would imagine both governments have an interest. |

We will have to accept compensation because we have offered a contract, but we have to accept they are gone. I honestly believe if we had Cat1 now and they were training with better players in a better set up they would stay. |

What did you make of last Saturday's ref issuing no yellow cards and allowing persistent fouling. In particular when we had a player [Widell?] breaking and was hauled back, he broke free and and the ref signaled he was playing advantage only to be hauled down by the same player again, the game was stopped foul given but no yellow. That is more than highly suspicious. |

Alcohol is available in the stadium before, during and after a game, its not about the availability its about the rules regarding consumption whilst watching a game. The current rules in my opinion are outdated and need to be changed. You can sit in some seats in hospitality and consume alcohol but when the game starts you can stay in the same seat but you must close the curtains/blinds, that is just ridiculous. As for drinks being spilt. In the last 12 months I have been a spectator at Rugby, Cricket, Tennis, Athletics and been to concerts and no drinks have spilt on me. Most venues provide anti spill lids and cardboard trays to carry drinks if you are getting more than two. To summarise, personally I don't consume alcohol in the ground at all but I think the rules are outdated and the option should be available for those who do. Just integrate it slowly in certain areas like safe standing on a trial basis and see how it goes. It works in other sports and we should be doing everything we can to encourage supporters to come to live games instead of staying home and watching TV. |

I know but is it time to have the ban looked at in the UK in general. The hospitality "closing the curtains" rules are a good place to start. Life has moved on over the years. |

If they were still there they would have a shot at the English Premiership due to the ground capacity. It's the reason Richmond and London Irish can't get in the Premiership and are looking to join the URC. It's not over yet, the WRU have been called to parliament on Wednesday to answer questions and explain the situation. Meanwhile the Cardiff based Senedd stay silent. [Post edited 19 Jan 21:56]

The writing was on the wall the day they left the stadium, the truth behind that would be interesting. I don't accept it was unmanageable, other clubs share with no issues Bristol rugby and Bristol City for example. |

The URC have agreed for the Welsh regions to drop down to three, with Richmond or London Irish taken up the spare place. |
