Tomorrow the WRU are answering questions by request in Westminster, this is a long way from over. Don't be surprised to see common sense prevail with Newport being the one to go with compensation paid to their owners. |

There needs to be players who will break through the glass ceiling for us and these two are quite possibly the ones to do it. Unfortunately I believe we have missed the boat, there has been no continuity with coaching staff for many years, we do not have Cat1 and there seems to be no progression through to the first team. I am Swansea through and through but if there was an offer on the table from a top European club financially more attractive and with Cat1 facilities for one of my family it would be a no brainer and it wouldn't be to us. |

Tonight's attendance was 13,897 tickets sold, the actual attendance was far less looking at the gaps around the ground. It was a terrible night and it looked as if many ticket holders stayed home and watched it on TV. The club needs to look long on hard at what they are going to do to increase attendances. Season tickets normally go on sale six weeks ago and nothing has been mentioned. There must be some serious head scratching going on, tonight was like a division one game on and off the pitch. |

It will be backed by the University who we shareholders in the project as were Swansea Bay Partnership who business wise will knock spots off the WRU. |

They will have a very strong case as the WRU have rigged the process and not shown due diligence in my opinion. How you can negotiate with the owners of one region to buy your region off you when you are supposed to be for the benifit of all regions. There is a conflict of duty at the very minimum. Swansea Council just do it, its more pressure on top of the vote for an extraordinary general meeting that is being processed. The WRU have opened a bag of worms and do not have the skill set to sort it out. |

Blackburn were shocking early on and we thought we would cruise it and lowered ourselves to their level. Too many players had a poor day by their standard Galbraith, Eon, Widell and Cabango for a start. Vipotnik was excellent even without his goals, Burgess was decent and Franco had another very good game and it was good to see Cooper get back on the pitch. All in all I thought a better team and we wouldn't have won, but we did and it was a vital win. Onwards to Hull and I really hope we up our game. |

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. |
