CRYs16 OBJECTS TO ST HELENS MOVE

Raised By Peregos wrote: Neither, it would be an Ospreys supporter pretending to be from a Scarlets Supporters trust (was CRYS16 actually mentioned by name or was it a generic "supporter's trust"?). I don't know. I'm speculating. It's an option.

crys silence speaks volume

If true, it's deplorable. I'd love to know who might have been deluded enough to think that this would be 'the right thing to do'. 

I emailed them last night as well no reply, silence is deafning.

I think, If it's true that Crys did object and the radio silence since the objection doesn't put them in a good light. Then the whole Crys board should resign and offer an apology to the Ospreys and the Ospreys supporters club. No way should something like this be done on our behalf without our backing. It makes us look petty and narrow minded.

I can understand Crys position..

crys simpletons  msde a right hash of this bless them,  maybe do a bit more prep next tine

Member Update: St Helen's Redevelopment
We are writing to you following the recent news that we, Crys16, as a Supporters Trust were one of two letters who objected to the planning application made by the Ospreys relating to the redevelopment of St Helen’s.

We hear and understand our members’ concerns and passionate debate this has created. This is why we wanted to set out the context of our objections amidst the ongoing and increasing uncertainty of the future of professional rugby in Wales. In any event, we will reflect on Member feedback seriously.

Whilst we would not ordinarily get involved in this process, the Crys16 board felt the approval of this application has significant connotations beyond the Swansea City area. These concerns were echoed by a local member of the Senedd, Cefin Campbell MS, and MPs Ann Davies and Nia Griffith on BBC Wales earlier today. Acting in the best interests of our members and with little time to consult our members, we undertook the difficult decision to take this action to defend one of our constitutional principles and protect the future of professional rugby in Llanelli.

As many of you will be aware from recent media reports, the WRU have expressed a preference to reduce the number of teams in Wales, potentially to having just one based in the West. The approval of a new, publicly funded facility in direct competition with Parc y Scarlets, has an existential impact on our future.

We urge members and all Scarlets fans to continue to support the Scarlets, demonstrating to the Welsh public and the rugby world, why the 150 years of heritage of our club is so important not just to cultural, economic and social fabric of Llanelli and Carmarthenshire but the identity of the whole of West Wales.

We always encourage our members to contact us should you still have any concerns. Please get in touch with us directly via the button below.

The irony is instead of what a appears a bit of a desperate attempt to stop st helens plans if theyd actually made a more genuine objection such as the mindless destructions of st helens cricket ground..A ground set up and created by Llanelli bigwig Charles chambers of Llanelli House... who not only set up St Helens cricket club and 1870 but also set up the football (rugby football) club a year or so later and then went on to become the Welsh rugb unions first chairman. He also played for Glamorgan and was my great uncle x 7 lol
