Happy to admit my misunderstanding as that isnt how i thought it worked. Seems a ridiculous agreement especially with a body as untrustworthy as the WRU but hey ho. It also seems an incredibly risky strategy though and one that has well and truly bitten pro rugby on the arse. Its still odd though that without the regions, there is no Welsh team yet they are treated with a fair amount of distain. I would just refuse to play/release players tbh.

Well it might come to that if the CVC money is distributed to parties other than the 3 clubs, or the loan doesn't materialise or [insert another civil war inducing scenario] but at the end of the day, the 4 regions signed the deal knowing that some years would be less productive than others, financially. They just didn't know that the mother of all financial disasters would happen, and why would they? What really annoys me though is the attitude of some amateur fans that see their clubs having 'less' than the pro clubs. If this episode shows anything it's that all the risk is on the professional clubs and the ONLY guaranteed funding is that ring-fenced £11m for the amateur game. |

The WRU can forget player power for this then. No more early camps.
Any player not picked in matchday squad gets released back to region. Legally this can backfire on WRU. They are still treating 3 privately run business like they are semi pro social clubs. Time for a rebel season.

What are the terms of the participation agreement ? Would the Clubs be in contravention of that agreement ? What are the details of the participation agreement, e.g. player release ? Lots of questions that I don't know the answer to there !!!

Perhaps but rugby is buggered anyway so maybe its worth chancing our arms. I cannot see the point in just stumbling along as we are not really knowing whats going on.

Couple of things for me on this issue:
i) How many less 'home' games have WRU missed due to the pandemic? ii) Haven't the Welsh Government paid the WRU for using the Principality? Where has that gone? iii) If the WRU are due to fund the 4 pro sides to a certain level due to achieving certain goals, but haven't got the funds to do so, why are the 4 pro sides having to repay a loan which is to all intent and purposes to cover the WRU's own backsides? Surely that's down to the WRU to repay it?

[QUOTE=haydn_davies]Couple of things for me on this issue:

Scotland home so far possibly an end if season game to plus wales will likely be playing in front of no crowd so lose all the ticket monsy plus corporate takings so millions per fuxture ii) Haven't the Welsh Government paid the WRU for using the Principality? Where has that gone? Id guess it was a nominal sum tbh but the wru should disclose how much it is i agree

Why should it be nominal? Its not a public institution. I was expecting something much more than nominal. My guess is they would never get some big numbers from government and preferred to put some credit in the bank as it were to be used when needed - a time that may come sooner than later.

Have the governments paid anything for the use of buildings they have established hospitals in? There was a back down by the owners of the O2 at the start who were going to charge and then changed tack in the face of opposition. |
