    I’m taking a back seat as well.

    No season ticket this year!

    People simply wont pay it, then they will lose interest in the ospreys, short sighted if you ask me, I do see that first month is free, but cant work out if I can cancel it straightaway.

    Does this mean it won't be on S4C any more? If that is the case it may make attendances bigger, but it would help if they reduced the matchday ticket prices.

    It is not on s4c, I don't think it will make any difference to the attendance, just my opinion, they have their hard core and not sure them not being on tv will draw people down there, if I could see them on tv and they were playing attractive rugby that may make me want to go.

    To be honest, I haven't enjoyed watching the Ospreys since Shane Williams left. I'm more likely to go to local Welsh rugby or even take in some of the English league matches up in Worcester, Gloucester, Bristol or Bath.

    To be fair I am in no way a Scarlets supporter, but having watched them live on TV I actually went to some games there to see good fast flowing rugby.

    I don't blame you. They played the most attractive rugby by any top Welsh team last season and it was a pleasure to watch them in Europe.

    Good question!

    Bit of both - that said, more the former than the latter!

    Because of this ,despite wide spread opposition and an original No from the Council , the first ever Costa dishwater for a load of money is to be built in a residential area and which happens to be fronted by dear old Shane . If anyone knows the area then they'll know it's unsuitable and not needed or welcome .
