Watching them on sky at the moment playing Toulouse in the heiniken cup. This is like the group stages of the champions league and playing Barcelona at home. There is ****ing no one there. ****ing pathetic. The sooner they move to the gnoll the better it will be.
For some reason I've heard they're toying with the idea of playing in Bridgend ,which would make sense geographically as there's scarlets and ospreys then a gap of forty miles with cardiff the next nearest. I did toy with the idea of going down to watch a few games this season but then the medication kicked in and I'm much better now.
Im watching it online at the moment and guess where i am..on the swans message board!! that pretty much sums it up for me. Ospreys are really struggling with money apparently,all the regions are infact, if i was home i would have gone down to this but the rugby on offer is poor these last few seasons, 15 plodders on the field who are short of basic skills, all they seem to do is crash bang and rumble with the forwards. Sad times for the one true region but they cant expect people to pay good money to watch **** can they ?
They pay wages they cant afford and have far to many players on the books....They have good players but crap coaches.....With their squad they should be winning everything there is going....
They dont have a strong squad now Dai, alot of the talent has moved away to France, its a shame but there are alot of things wrong with welsh rugby on the whole not just the reigions which i beleive are a good idea.
Well I watched it and the Ospreys have just won it with a gutsy performance 17-6, so not even a losing bonus point for Toulouse who are four times winners of the HC. That was a great win for the Os when you consider that they were missing four or five top players from their line up. Brilliant if the Swans can make it a Liberty double tomorrow.
Ivor its not the way they are playing is what i am moaning about. This is a massive game the equivilent of us, swans playing four times winners of the championsleague. they didnt have enough people ther to fill the west stand if you added it all up. South and North completely empty. East barely half full. Its pathetic. watching leinster on the telly now playing in front of 47,000 and they say rugby is the number1 sport in Wales.
The Wales rugby team only gets good crowds because of pissed up valley girls dressed up as daffodils going. I wouldn't want them watching us. No rugby team in Wales can match the support we and Cardiff can generate home or away.
Totally agree. The support is pathetic but it would help if the Ospreys had a good run in the Heineken Cup to generate interest. With the squad they had a few years ago, it should have happened but crap coaching and other factors meant that they missed out on their big chance. I'm all for regional rugby but the teams should realise that their product is just not good enough. Look what success on the field has done for our marvellous Swans.
Absolutely! No matter what the egg chasers think, football is our number one sport and our Super Swans have done as much as anything to make that happen.
Ivor, if you asked sports fans across the world what they'd think about when they hear about Wales I'd be willing to bet that most would associate Wales with the Swans due to our exposure ny being in the Premier League.
