Not now, thanks

Found you.

It can’t wind Cardiff down as it has potential buyers. It needs the purchase price

You are advocating turning down millions of pounds so your analysis is flawed

You’re ignoring the point that Y11 want out of the Ospreys.

Why?

It can’t shut Cardiff now without £20m of fines from the URC & CVC as Tierney explained in Westminster

So terminology & accuracy is vital, else somebody could appear to be clueless

Y11 prefers Cardiff over the Ospreys. That’s on Y11 only.

Yes the old company is in administration

So not bust

You’ll also see notes from the administrators that the club has been sold to a new company. So not in administration and never been bust.

Exactly.

“I work in universities” but don’t know that administration isn’t “bust”

Bankrupt is bust.

Lord help us all

Administration isn’t bust. Bankrupt is bust

And the club isn’t in administration

It’s owned by the WRU, so not in administration

So both of your claims are wholly incorrect.

Torsten has no mandate here

He’s misrepresented what happened at Cardiff and he’s ignored Y11 are free to do as they please (as Ospreys owners)

Cardiff didn’t go bust.

Yes it is

The WRU is skint and has lost millions in recent years.

Well maybe “everyone” isn’t right, especially when the Scarlets have a number of wealthy supporters who have kept them in business for decades.

Pretty easy to spot how many supporters the Warriors had, though

Answer: not enough.

In the Tower?

There’ll be hell to pay if WRU goes through with plan to kill Welsh rugby Donkeys driving restructure of elite game, who are ignoring vast opposition from players, clubs and fans, must be ejected by revolution or evolution

Little to argue with here. Le Tache is spot on ... www.thetimes.com/sport/rugby-...

Exactly. It’s as if people in different countries, understandably, don’t understand Welsh sporting culture

They think “I like it so why don’t they? They must be wrong”

They should think “why are they different from me?”

But they don’t

But if the URC is so good and the rivalry is good, 7k is woeful

It can’t be both

My club has played Scottish teams for more than two decades

Zero rivalry. Zero

Bristol? Rival

This is Welsh sporting culture because English teams are an hour away. I can understand why the Scottish wouldn’t understand that.

Yes, that happened once and in the Christmas holiday period

After that, Edinburgh crowds returned to their normal sub 7k

So pretty poor.

That must be why Glasgow play at such a tiny ground

But at least now some of its toilets are plumbed

How can you make a rivalry with a team in another continent?

I guess this comes down to the fact that one nation has another nation’s rugby on its doorstep

What is good about the URC, Leslie?

How do the attendance figures line up against, say, those of the two Scottish teams?

If the English league is “dying” then why is its broadcast contract per club so significantly higher than the URC can deliver?

Lee won’t tell us

You don’t have to engage with these moaners, Lee

You could just pretend to be a Cardiff fan living in Dublin instead.

You don’t see the appeal of playing in a league with a far superior broadcast contract and with greater sponsor and fan interest?

Ok.

and Lee still hasn’t told me why the URC broadcast contract is so shit per club

I’m surprised he has not addressed that.

You’d have a point if Welsh fans weren’t consistent in their dislike of the URC, even when their clubs were winning it

It’s almost like there’s nearly 3 million people in Leinster.
