@Oweninsouts @westkid44 @dragonsrfc Not sure where all these ‘would be’ franchise owners have been hiding all these years🤦‍♂️

@GallivanDave @westkid44 @dragonsrfc Yeah - Dragons owners will not like. Could easy be franchise tender for East Wales.

Welsh rugby used to lead the world with their ideas, strategies and innovation. Our rugby press would never ignore a issue and speak for the fans. Current WRU strategy for game is to exclude North Wales and remove Valleys, West Glamorgan & Swansea from pro rugby - SOS.l time.

@Oweninsouts @westkid44 @dragonsrfc We still don’t know what the new WRU terms are do we? Can’t see @dragonsrfc agreeing to WRU having 100% control of rugby matters. Good to hear DR intimate he was ready to compromise. However, new Y11 deal would leave WRU in 100% control of rugby at Cardiff?

@GallivanDave @westkid44 @dragonsrfc Yes - If Dragons agree to new WRU terms and support regional rugby for rest of Wales they can represent Gwent.

@Oweninsouts @westkid44 @dragonsrfc already represent Gwent

@westkid44 Agreed Howard - Gwent, Glamorgan & West Wales makes so much sense. Just wish WRU clubs would propose such a obvious and sensible idea.

@sambfpod but we asked for change and it’s being delivered. The Ospreys part in this is very sad but predictable. What about working towards and being part of a new West Wales region?

Engage with ALL fans in a positive manner. Most of all uphold the WRU core values of Excellence, Integrity (stop the leaks), Success, Courage (don't be afraid to say you've got some of this process very wrong), Family (stop the leaks part 2) and humour.

Been thinking about the Dave Reddin interview post match on the Beeb and he really needs to wake up. Fans haven't fallen out of love with the team or the lads playing. The love is and always has been there. There isn't a disconnect between them and the fans. The disconnect

@KeithClarke1 @dragonsrfc I’m optimistic too and will be joining asap!! Tongan looks a good acquisition but we need further t/h cover, another quality 10 as well as Waino’s replacement.

New @dragonsrfc Season Tickets bought for the family… First opportunity this year, not the last day like the last 10. I don’t know about you guys, but I have a real sense of optimism about next season! The terrace has been a joyous place in recent months, long may it continue

@stephenjones9 @WillFalleyn Haven’t got to but could well do having unanimously backed the reduction in teams. That certainly creates the vacuum and God knows where we go from there

@GallivanDave @WillFalleyn the vacuum isn’t a problem. don’t think all the board need to go

Riath. well put mate

@WillFalleyn @stephenjones9 Isn’t a scenario that RCK is removed, Board resign on mass leaving a vacuum to be filled by …… who? Cardiff deal completed prior to EGM who funds Ospreys next season and beyond?

@GallivanDave @stephenjones9 Have you read the latest response from Glamorgan District, they clearly state they do not want to undo the Rafferty reforms

@bobbankvillage @OspreysPodcast Sad but true

@OspreysPodcast The region isn’t financially sustainable. No one is coming up with any solution to that fact

BREAKING: Swansea City Council have released the minutes from their meeting with Abi Tierney (with redacted sections). facebook.com/share/p/18BJy1…

@bobbankvillage @OspreysPodcast Losing £2.5m p.a. Crowds of just over 3000 and no hospitality to speak of. Dire times

@thegunners1978 @CraigosP1 The WRU could include requirements such as name, colours, where games are played etc. in the West licence. Could that bring the Scarlets and Ospreys together?

@CraigosP1 @GallivanDave I’d say it’s looking more likely than not that this marks the end of Y11’s involvement at the Os. The idea of sharing games round the West is gimmicky, won’t work. I think there’ll definitely be an attack on the identities (unless only one group bids for the West licence).

Not my words, but I wanted to share, please read this. 👇🏼👇🏼 Welsh rugby will not be destroyed by scrutiny, challenge or members asking hard questions. It will be damaged if leadership confuses disagreement with disloyalty, and consultation with consent. #EGM

@CraigosP1 Are you seriously confident that Y11 will continue their support whether they get Cardiff or not? The point is certainly not irrelevant but you’re right, things can change.

@GallivanDave Nobody has said that Y11 has pulled financial support from the Ospreys, so this point is irrelevant at this stage. A lot can happen between now and 2027.

@USAP09 @DragonsLairPod If we had the option to keep him very strange decision to let him go - done well for us

@DragonsLairPod Disappointed to lose him. Hope we’re recruiting again.

Cebo Dlamini signs for Sale. Dlamini joined Dragons as injury-cover in the winter period and did a good job for us making 7 appearances for the club before injury ended his loan spell. Pob lwc Cebo!

@DanHallettPharm @WestDra1 @DragonsLairPod All of a sudden the Saffa tour and Stade look a nightmare 😬

@GallivanDave @WestDra1 @DragonsLairPod Hopefully not that much of a delay, he's been rehabing (is that a word?) well, with increasing strength work. But may delay game ready time. Coleman, Yendle and Young Owain James have a busy time ahead. Stade and a Saffa tour...

Caught up with the @DragonsLairPod RP is rocking at the moment and you can see and feel that we are definitely building something. Going to saffa without our 1st choice tight heads no issue!! Youngsters are doing bits In youth we trust 🐲🐲🐲🐲🐲

@DanHallettPharm @WestDra1 @DragonsLairPod Ouch! that’s disappointing he’s been out for months now. Looking at next season I would imagine 🙁

@GallivanDave @WestDra1 @DragonsLairPod Dillon Lewis has had some fluid/blood syringed from his calf (see insta). Probably means this rehab is pushed back a bit. Not more.damage, but most likely not healing as quick or completely as hoped. Still a Brave Boy though

As you know scrummaging was not my forte😂 but we've got to make sure we've got sufficient t/h cover or we'll get found out as we nearly were on Saturday.

Sale Sharks are in advanced talks with Griquasskipper tight-head Cebo Dlamini about a move to the North-West later this year after watching him closely after he moved to the Dragons in December. 😬😬

@simonrug @chap2000 Carter so important for us in that department!

@chap2000 Yep, plus a few issues at the lineout. But lots to build on.

One of those weird games at Rodney Parade tonight where both sides were left frustrated on the final whistle. But the 7,106 crowd that watched Dragons and Benetton draw 15-15 clearly enjoyed the occasion and created a cracking atmosphere throughout.
