Agree with what you say. On cordoning off an area of the stadium for a louder atmosphere / standing tickets I’d suggest selling a ‘year ticket’ which costs £150-200 for all 6/7 games in the year (with options to pay in instalments). That offers cheaper tickets, as well as a regular fan base (a point that is often forgotten when talking about building atmosphere). Some more tickets could also then be sold for individual games in the standing section. I doubt it would cost the WRU as much as it seems at first sight as these tickets would be situated behind the posts (somewhere where tickets are generally cheaper anyway), and a better atmosphere should draw in more fans for the autumn and Italy games.

There was furor over the Friday night game and poor crowds. It was the first time a Friday night game hasn’t sold out. The current climate involving covid hasn’t helped with crowds this season.

If I were the WRU I would ignore the whinging keyboard warriors like me and sell tickets for £100k a piece and if 50 people show up they’ve made a profit.

You said they sell out, but they dont The scots irish and english games sold out , but the welsh had 11,000 unsold tickets for france , unheard of in the history of the 6 nations. Worrying stats especially as weve already had empty stadiums for nearly 2 years

It’s not but it’s then the responsibility of the WRU to adapt to that. If you’re selling tickets for £100 and then you don’t sell out, then that is a massive pricing failure by the organisation, whatever the external circumstances.

Stirling defence by Wales at the start of the 2nd half, stopped 3 or 4 tries, then gave away two intercept tries in attacking positions!

Apparently that is a much stronger Irish team compared to the one at the start of the competition

Not often i agree with any of the tripe in the WOL but the headline last night summed up how i feel about regional rugby at present given the usual merry go round of funding talks "WRU sucking the life out of welsh fans" things are never going to change unless the regions take some drastic action against the union what that would be i don't know but we can't continue season after season.

Yes Nigel it gets pretty tedious. Positive remarks by some members of the PRA and Nigel Walker saying we were on the same page and getting close to an agreement is being shown to be a smokescreen with the amount of money being offered by the WRU being unchanged from the outset of the discussions. A concerted action plan by all regions would certainly concentrate the minds of the WRU. The article suggests that regions should withdraw release of players outside the window but that isn't anywhere near drastic enough. My suggestion would be to limit the amount of gametime for the 38 chosen players so that they would arrive at campaigns under cooked. Of course this decision needs to be conveyed to the WRU and players pre-season and be concerted. I accept that this may have a knock on effect on the success of the regions but we are hardly going to do much worse. It would be tough on the players of course but surely it would concentrate the minds of the WRU when a failing AB's team puts 40-50 points on Wales in the Autumn. A short, sharp pain which showed the teeth of the regions acting in harmony would perhaps wake up Butcher & Phillips.

The funding of the clubs has been sufficient to see the upper ends of the URC a Welsh club-free zone. WRU governance and starvation ration financing are wrecking the professional clubs. « WRUWrexit » A WRU exit, by the pro clubs, wouldn’t appear to be feasible unless some really revolutionary action is planned in pursuit of a suitable end goal that’s attainable.

I think welsh fans have to realise that the regions will never be competitive whilst under the yoke of the WRU.
I'd love to go back to only welsh clubs playing each other. I have no love for the URC or any of the other teams playing in it. European rugby has lost it's appeal after cutting the number of group games to 4... rugby is going to poo... |

Until there is root and branch change at the top of the WRU and the same with the constitution of the organisation then regional rugby as well as club rugby is knackered.
