@LlywelynApRhys @ospreylian3 @thepaulwilliams @NettThom Literally walking wild! And all 8 of you, that’s a big chunk of the brewery field crowd we’ve lost there!

@FraserSport1 Last years prem final in my pub. Bear in mind we are 75miles from the border, we had Leicester and Bath fans in, great laugh, lots of banter, everyone watching. URC final on straight after, nobody watching.

@scrumming_ten @FraserSport1 Wouldn’t expect you guys to understand, it takes no time to cross our border to go and watch rugby in England. It would increase attendances and we’d be playing our arch enemies week in week out. Not having to spend thousands to get to the southern hem will make it sustainable to

@philwarlow @FMC_Rugby @bbcrugbyunion Type into YouTube for his highlight reel Phil. I think he’s perfectly entitled to have an opinion,he did it at the highest level.

@blahblaaahblaaa @FMC_Rugby @bbcrugbyunion He’s not he’s a national treasure, been there and done it in both codes, raised lots of money for charity and is an absolute pleasure to be around.

@PhilRugby I know Phil there is no team sport in North Wales attracting fans on a weekly basis! You bury your head mate 👍

@gwladrugby2025 It’s the only constant message I’m hearing in this whole shambles…we want to play in the prem, everyone arguing agrees on that issue

[Ian Blair @Blairo12]

@SquidgeRugby This constant comparison with football is pointless. There is money in football and there’s is very little it seems in world rugby. We can’t afford to carry on like this and somebody is trying to make the required changes…look at the state of rugby in this nation, it’s broken

[Ian Blair @Blairo12]

@gwladrugby2025 Well worth a listen. Success with English rugby, at the FA and GB Olympics, it’s a pretty impressive CV. I think he’ll get all this through and to hell with the 25 thousand of you in south Wales who disagree!

[Ian Blair @Blairo12]

@markthomas157cb This is all about demographics surely. Rugby at regional level is not the working man’s game it used to be. You need good infrastructure around the ground, a train line close helps, good footfall and affluence in the community to pay proper ticket prices and invest.

[Ian Blair @Blairo12]

@jonesyaber42 @delmeparfitt You have to ask them though surely! English chairmen are saying that their league needs to increase from 10 to 14 teams too so maybe not that crazy an idea

@WelshRugbyUnion @WalesRugby @thepaulwilliams @JiffyRugby

[Ian Blair @Blairo12]

So it’s not working and something has to change….but we’ll do it in 3 years, because it’s really good at the moment and all the country is engaged in the game, with big crowds and strong performances by the regions!! Somebody switch the lights off on your way out ffs

[Ian Blair @Blairo12]

@andyhowellsport @rugbyworldcup @premrugby Do you think they’ve been approached @premrugby and have rejected the possibility?

[Ian Blair @Blairo12]

@MPsportsdragon What’s the score with DuPont? Back soon?

[Ian Blair @Blairo12]

@BBCScrumV What’s happened to Reffel?

[Ian Blair @Blairo12]

@thepaulwilliams So many offended 50+ (I’m in that bracket) reactions. The model as it is is crap! So we lose all the fans…all what 25 thousand of them. Then you put competitive teams together who can actually win games and compete, in the English prem hopefully…new fans will go
