@LazyLabourOut @philsteele1 Why?

@RugbyProgress @philsteele1 If he defends this then he needs to go

Can’t understand why the Chairman of The Community Game Board was put up for interview by The WRU today. That should be a job for the person with whom the buck stops - namely The CEO. Treating Welsh rugby fans with a total lack of respect. 🏉🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

@welshclubrugby @jones_mog Account named Welsh Club Rugby showing it has no clue about this long standing administrator of Welsh Club Rugby.

@jones_mog Fire fighting tactics by the wru to delay/stop a EGM. Get the guy who’s in charge of the community game to release the speech not one of the 3 stooges hoping it holds more weight with clubs. He’s gonna do and say what they ask him to as he has his seat on the gravy train

Slightly hurtful words have not crossed the line. Trying to kill our team is crossing the line! #ospreys bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-un…

@HughEdw54983916 @USAP09 If you read what has been “boasted” they’ve said all along it will start in time for the Nations Series

@RugbyProgress @USAP09 Why not? They've been boasting about it for months.

New catering contract at WRU and there’s no beer. Amstel doesn’t count….

@LoafyTen Community Club Secretary here. Zero pressure from WRU on this.

@sambfpod Thank you for your answers. I can see you are passionate about your cause. I am not convinced to sign.

@RugbyProgress Proper management of funds and commercial opportunities.

Please keep sharing and encoueaging people to sign this petition Oppose the WRU's Proposed Reduction in Elite Teams - Sign the Petition! c.org/BSWRYrH77x via @UKChange

@sambfpod Where would the additional money come from to keep 4 properly-funded teams?

@RugbyProgress Is change needed ? Yes, but is the answer a reduction in regions- not necessarily no. The whole process has been shambolic. Fans deserve better. They deserve open and transparent communication.

@sambfpod @UKChange So still go down to 3 pro clubs?

@RugbyProgress @UKChange The alternative is to pause, take stock and follow a clear and transparent process. Listen to the fans. Issue a well thought out consultation document without wrong statistics, figures and leading questions. Assess the data correctly.

WRU stadium naming rights story is a marketing agencies dream. 1. Release speculative fact-less article about how a previous deal was bodged 2. Let a social media pile on develop 3. Announce extension of current Sponsor 4. Current sponsor receives exponential global reach

@calgas21 @TheFan886 @sambfpod How are you so convinced the replacements are any better?

@RugbyProgress @TheFan886 @sambfpod How are you “undecided” that the right people are in charge of Welsh rugby? Have you been living under a rock the past few years?! They’ve wasted so much money on consultancy fees & outsourcing, which demonstrates their incompetence, & they’ve wanted to cut, not grow the game.

I think we need an interactive map where all the clubs in wales are mapped and they can click if they've had a visit from Abi and/or RCK in the last year #WheresAbi

@TheFan886 @sambfpod I am undecided at the moment. I am far from convinced that the current plan will be successful for Welsh rugby. I am equally not convinced that the proposed motions will be a successful alternative.

@RugbyProgress @sambfpod Hopefully the clubs will get behind the EGM. The wrong people are in charge at the top

@sambfpod @NettThom @WelshRugbyUnion I’m not diminishing your rightful hurt from the situation. Take my advice or don’t. As a Club Secretary I shall be 1 of (likely) less than 100 at a future EGM to make a huge decision. I don’t think this over-personal approach is helping your cause.

@NettThom @RugbyProgress @WelshRugbyUnion Abi isn't attending as a private citizen though is she ? She is attending as a CEO. I don't want to know when she goes to Waitrose. Thats her business. I want to know where she is attending as a CEO. That transparency and accountability

@NettThom @sambfpod @WelshRugbyUnion Not everybody chronicles everything they do on social media. Some of us use more effective means of getting the job done.

@RugbyProgress @sambfpod @WelshRugbyUnion Didn’t call out their blatent BS

@NettThom @sambfpod @WelshRugbyUnion You’ve definitely misconstrued what I’ve said, with that.

@RugbyProgress @sambfpod My god how do you manage operating day to day with your head planted firmly up the arse of the top brass of the @WelshRugbyUnion

@sambfpod No. You do not have the right to know where a private citizen goes, unless they wish to tell you. There are ways of ensuring accountability. Speak to the committee or board of you club.

Apparently we don't have the 'right' to know where our governing body goes each weekend or to know what Welsh rugby fans they've spoken to or where they got the idea that fans are in support of this. Transparency is all we ask yet as always its cloak and dagger. #Accountability

@sambfpod Again, just because they haven’t spoke to you and your friends does not mean that is not true. I’m not validating what they have said. I’m trying to point out that your course of action is not useful.

@RugbyProgress I do when they say they have spoken to Welsh Rugby Fans and they have their support. What fans and where ?

@sambfpod You have no right to know where a person has been each weekend, nor do they have any obligation to tell you. Board, Council, and District representatives, as well as WRU employees, frequently attend community club matches. Speak to the club committees if you wish to know more.

@RugbyProgress Its not creepy. Its a genuine question. Where have they been ? No one i follow has seen them. If you know how the Welsh rugby public feel I'm curious to know where they have been cos its not matching up with anything I see and hear when I am chatting to people
