Yes, thats rightHere we go AGAIN....
And the title of this part of the message board is THE DRAGONS, so your talking R U B B I S HThe HEADER on this forum is THE EBBW VALE SUPPORTERS AREA..
Ummm....if you look at the Scrum V site you will see that the Dragons are our region. I wonder if you would have said that last season at the end of the Ospreys 10 match losing streak? I doubt it.Oh..The OSPREYS too..
As they ARE our REGION..

Sorry to put a spanner in your band wagon Mr Jarvis but I think you may be out on you own (North of Malpas that is) in believing nGD's are regional to Gwent.Ummm....if you look at the Scrum V site you will see that the Dragons are our region.
Mr Turner appears to be trying in public (and good luck to him in tackling the nPT management), but he faces a bloody big mountain in the shape of getting the "n" off the shirt - which most of the "others" are so against.
They (nGD's) are also now faced with the prospect of moving away from rp after being told to improve their facilities. Maybe then (if it happens) support may just come trickling towards the outfit.
Until then I think you're the only person likely to be seen around Ebbw (and other areas) in your beloved shirt..

Dragons Regions -Sorry to put a spanner in your band wagon Mr Jarvis but I think you may be out on you own (North of Malpas that is) in believing nGD's are regional to Gwent.
Principality Premiership - Ebbw Vale RFC
Division 5 East - Ebbw Vale RTB
So officially the Dragons are our region, whether you like it or not unfortunately.
A lot of people are now calling the Ospreys their region! What a joke!! I wonder if they'd say that if they were as sh*t as they were 2 season ago? And if they are now supporters of the Ospreys, maybe i'l see them down Swansea on Tuesday???

Funny enough, I spoke to a few Ebbw fans yesterday who said they'll be there this week shouting “Ospreys” while wearing their Ebbw jerseys. I wish I were able to join you at the game folks. Sadly, I can't.
Somehow, I fail to see how the argument works regarding not wanting to get behind the O's because they lose a game or don’t play well. Most of us are hardened Ebbw Vale supporters and the fact that we don't win all our games doesn't generally dissuade us from watching. I think the same mentality may be prevalent when we watch the Ospreys.
Officially you are absolutely spot on fella. They are supposed to be representative of Ebbw Vale. However, if you ask the population of Ebbw Vale if they feel that they are being represented (or even WANT to be represented) by the Newport Gwent Dragons, I think we all know what the population will say.
Still, each to his/her (don't want to be accused of being sexist) own. There are two factions, and each is entitles to do their own thing.
I shall just stick with my feeling of apathy toward them. I don't feel strongly enough about them anymore to argue.
