Whose beehive is that wasps' nest?
Still irks me, a Tonyrefail (Ely Valley) boy, that the local bowling alley was named "Rhondda Bowl"

None of the Rhondda rivers have flowed through the Ely Valley since the end of the most recent ice age

Now THOSE were the good ol' days

Cheers, butt! It was like deja vu all over again!

Right? I feel like hating everyone else gives me the same amount, or maybe more, joy than supporting my team. It's the essence of sport, mun.

You are correct. Success helps.

It is not a panacea.

I would rather watch my team lose in Gloucester than win in Durban.

Supporting my local amateur and semi pro teams is, in some ways, more engaging than watching Cardiff beat Lions at The Arms Park for this very reason.

I dare suggest the particularly acute malaise is an additional aspect to which we can attribute apathy

Why not fix two problems? I reckon that's proper big brain thinking. Any non-idiots care to confirm?

That makes sense and all, and sounds like it's backed up by quantitative data, but I'm being told the real reason is Welsh rugby fans being too idiotic to travel to away games?
September 30, 2025 at 6:27 PM
It's clearly because they're too stupid to realise the URC = best league

Believe harder and the money will flow

You keep mentioning my idiocy and stupidity so I'm asking you directly about fixing my idiocy and stupidity. I may be idiotic and stupid but it's my understanding that would be the opposite of deflection?
September 30, 2025 at 3:50 PM
That doesn't answer my question. I asked for advice on how to become smart enough to travel to games on other continents and in other countries, please.

Additionally:

- I fucking hate the centred text and bold font
- "...an potential changes..." makes me weep with joy that it highlights how sloppy these vandals are
- They split an infinitive in the fourth box; and
- Confusingly they refer to yet more goals in the second box

I make that SIX potential candidates for THE Ultimate Goal on one page designed to communicate what the single ultimate goal is

This gives me 100% certainty that the authors do not know themselves what their ultimate goal is

- Help shape the future of Welsh elite rugby

- Identify the optimum structure for elite rugby in Wales

- Identify system-wide changes that will best address the major challenges facing Welsh rugby

- Identify opportunities to significantly improve the success of rugby in Wales

Here are some things that COULD be the ultimate goal, based on the above:

- To engage in meaningful conversation with those directly impacted by an potential changes (sic, lol) to the elite game in Wales

- Seek the views of those across the entire rugby community

Here is that question being "answered" in the WRU's consultation document

Ah. Yes. They've factored in complacency. Our Welsh arrogance knows no bounds
