i'm sure he thought long and hard before making his comments. its a very honest piece and i dont think there's anything in there that anyone can argue with.
there's plenty of idiots who bury their head in the sand as well, and ignore everything going on around them. and lots of looney-tunes who jump on the blind-faith merry-go-round. |

Have you thought that these "cretins" might just be aware that things could be better than they are, and are working hard to improve them? Of course, they may not turn out to be good enough or rich enough to turn things round, but I can't see what purpose it serves to point that out to the people concerned, unless you really believe that the need for action has escaped their attention. |

Our attandances overall has been better this year than last year, by nearly 300.
This myth that we have had poor crowds for a number of years is what it says.. a MYTH.

Unfortunately Children are more fickle than ever these days. Like Benny says, we are going to need a massive improvement on the field if we are to grow our fan base. Now it may be that the maturing if Rob Gog, Josh, Fenby, Priestland, Dom and Lou can lift us next season, but they will have to be at their London Irish best every week.
Wins=supporters.
I am hopeful that if Stevo, Smiler, Sparky, Daf and moggs are fit, we will play them in every game from September and hopefully build up more of a safety cushion in the first part of the season. Last year all those near misses and missed penalties holed us below the waterline, and the wins against LI and Brive were eventually to no avail because we were never going to have really good chance of progression in the HC Ko stages.
We really have to target 5 ML wins before the Amlin/HC campaign IMO.

what i can't stand is hypocrits.... people who themselves have spent hours on the phone agreeing that Nigel wasn't/isn't the man for the job to lead us to Heineken cup glory and then accuse people of throwing the baby out of the bath....
regardless of injuries, international call ups, financial constraints. Nigel has led us to the worst performance by a scarlets team in my living memory...... what we have to remember that if results go against us tonight we could still finish bottom of the magners league.

Wrong! 'The former Llanelli fly-half says that with just five Magners League wins this season and poor performances it is no wonder that crowds have been poor'
they maybe on the up but are still below the break even figure :(

Our crowds have not been brilliant and tbh, I couldn`t care less what the Ospreys do. My post was in the main to your longer post. No body is arguing on here, and nobody is trying to de-stabalise the region. If people want to vent their anger so be it. I wish I could attend on Tuesday but I can`t.
I will have a couple of decent questions by then so if someone wants to ask them on my behalf, and state out loud that they come from me, it would be appreciated.

Bennys` article was measured and considered. He has no agenda to spin unlike his media colleagues 60miles to the East.

Im not sure it does when it comes to Llanelli RFC and now the Scarlets, did we see a considerable rise in Season Ticket holders after each HC semi finals?, i dont think so, as many people have pointed out before there seems to be a general apathy towards our rugby team by people within the local area and there always has been i think, bar the one off games when they all come out of the woodwork. Now Benny may be right in what he is saying (although not all of it if you ask me) BUT what exactly will it achieve?, just gives more material for the likes of the fail which we could do without. We as a region, players/coaches/managment/ex players and supporters need to all pull together to get out of this rut. Yes we may not all agree with certain appointments and the way things are being run but one thing i can guarantee is an internal civil war between us will not get us to where we want to be. |

What do you think the region can do to change things then Pimp? Serious question. Because as far as i can see, unless we get investment to buy players, the only thing we can do is develop players from the academy and hope for the best. Its not ideal but its where we are at the moment. whether your being negative or positive on here is irrelevant because it wont make any difference, And that's why i didn't like what Benny said. |

No, but we had sell outs for some of the HC home games as I remember. It takes a while for a casual supporter to become a ST holder, but it can happern as in my case.
I was really responding to Llandre's comments about Llanelli kids supporting the Osps, and no amount of improvements off the field will make much of a dent there. Kids want to be associated with success.

which would read,
head a coaching team back to the top of the european elite table of rugby, but without spending anything, and you are only allowed 4 non welsh players per matchday squad.
i can here the stampede right now boys.
oh and p.s., when i say "somepeople" thats what i mean, as you are not the only person saying these things.
funny how when i mentioned sacking rafa benitez and putting the old boys of dalgleish and rush in at liverpool you jumped at the chance.
jobs for the boys? surely not?

Worcester have received an avalanche of applications worldwide to replace Ruddock,many of them world class candidates, they have been relegated and do not have our history.
I really cannot see why we do not look outside the old boys network for our coaching team,regardless of finances or whose fault it is we are near the bottom of the league,out of the HC probably and are going to struggle to retain Season Ticket holders attract new sponsors or to welcome new ST holders.
I have no beef with Nigel, I have no doubt running the Scarlets is a stressful business,but there are countless better qualified coaches imo to move us forward.
He is out of contract and we can offer the same money to the new coach,as for the rant about "tell the people in charge mun", I am pretty sure we all made our feelings to the club at the time 2 years ago that we did not want him as Coach and this years Magners League table has proved we were right.
