Apart from the blues and dragons the other two play at other grounds. I think the racecoruse is in north Wales? How far north are the dragons prepared to go?

The WRU recognised that llanelli and cardiff werent regional and were standalone hence the funding difference. Newport got stand alone by the back door despite keeping its name.

I think we all agree that the Ospreys are a true region, so lets leave them out of this. The Scarlets played 2 games away from Stradey last season, and thats the max taht they are playing away from there again this year, thats just 1 more than the Dragons. The Scarlets only really had 1 Premier team before regionalism, so i suppose it was easier for them to ''share the games''. The Dragons would have Newbridge, Ebbw Vale, Pontypool, Cross Keys, Caerphilly all fighting for matches to be played at their ground. Just try not to think about the past, things are improving for the rest of Gwent

You should have gone all the way and stitched in "Pontypool" instead of "Newport".

It would have been a collectors item mun.

Or I could have loaned you one of my "Ebbw Vale Gwent Dragons" Tee shirts.

Forum and Main Site seem to be down at the moment Saint. Will have a snoop later.

EDIT............... It's back up now Saint, and I've replied to LesJeff's message. He's a cracker isn't he? It's good to have characters like that on board.

Graham, did you get to keep your GD season ticket? With the scarcity of those they must be worth a mint.

Damn it, I should have thought of that.

I was so teed off by the Newport take-over that I only cared about getting my money back.
