Pat Vellian Forecast -3C tonight and a high of 1C tomorrow. If the pitch is frozen now then its going to be frozen tomorrow. Can we have an early call on this to help those who have to travel. I dont want a 2 hr drive and a 12pm postponement when the pitch was never playable.
on 3.2.12 at 8:43Pat Vellian 9.00am inspection. Thanks for making it nice and early.

A band of snow is expected to move slowly across England and Wales during Saturday afternoon and evening. Accumulations of snow of around 5cm are likely in places; this includes low lying areas. The public are advised that some travel disruption may result, and should pay close attention to forecasts as the event approaches. Snow is like to turn to sleet then rain in Wales and more western parts of England later on Saturday.
The public is advised to take extra care, further information and advice can be found here: http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/links.on 3.2.12 at 11:26Gareth Harris Absolutely no chance of the game being on sorry to say.

- 5th region momentum
archie Nice to see tht its gathering momentum with a mention on wales tonight earlier!! Lets all keep it going and get as many as possible to sign the petition!! No suprise tht bbc had nothing on the subject but then they are so far up the wru's they wouldnt wanna upset them wud they!!!
on 2.2.12 at 20:38biscuitboy just had a look and a good interview, although as Mc Phill commented last week it was unfortuate about the caption i.e. playing out of sardis and called the valley commandos .....a sound bite which could alienate potential supporters i feel. Lets get change first theres time to sort detail after ....democratically
on 3.2.12 at 0:26Neil S Owen didnt mention where games may be played or any name for the region. Why that caption has been used is beyond me. Perhaps the WRU influencing the media...cheeky conspiracy theory :-).
on 3.2.12 at 9:53MC Phill What would have got OS some proper support would have been to mention those that clubs have been disenfranchised, because supporters of different clubs would see that as OS sticking up for them - they might have then got behind it... as it is now unfortunately i think sadly its doomed to failure...
on 3.2.12 at 9:52ComeonthePont! McPhil
While I can fully see the concerns of OS being seen as pushinh Ponty I don't think taht is truly his intention.
I would ask that you and others like you look at the bigger picture and ask if Valleys Rugby is being represented in the current system
If you think it is not please please sign up and support this initiative.
The louder the noise the more chance of review.
Regions and Clubs are suffering poor attendances at present and Welsh Rugby is in real danger unless some changes are mage imo.
So all I ask is don't just think of it as Ponty, the finer details would be subject to a lot of debate but the debate will not happen unless a lot of people get on board.
COTPon 3.2.12 at 11:42biscuitboy Exactly the point. There will be spin mis information anything in the dirty tricks book to stop this initiative 'So all I ask is don't just think of it as Ponty, the finer details would be subject to a lot of debate but the debate will not happen unless a lot of people get on board.'....so lets not do the WRU's work for them its imeritive that we stick together on this and the right message gets out 'we want change' and some say in our national sport
on 3.2.12 at 13:14H griffiths As I have posted on previous occassions, i believe this is the last chance of any changes to be made to the current rotten system.The likes of MC Phil must ask themselves one question, and one question only,how is it that the most succesfull club in the o's super club region, has no representation, can this be right!, I am a ponty supporter through and through, but I want change for the whole of Welsh Rugby, not just MY CLUB.I am pleased to say that a lot of Neath supporters have signed the petition that I have taken to work.I work in Port Talbot, and I have to say in conversation no one appears to be happy with the current situation, TURK ,Aberavon, NEAth, Bridgend Bryncoch etc, let,s stick together and force change for the game we ALL love. In conclusion not very optimistic about tomorrow, weather forecast very poor,Pat I hope you do not have a wasted journey,LAST WORD STICK TOGETHER.

- Welsh squad in club kits...
Showboat13 Nice photo of the current Welsh squad in their original club kits!!
on 2.2.12 at 11:37Karen Davies Here's a link to the full article - the players chose the clubs they felt most synonomous with. http://www.wru.co.uk/eng/news/20975.php
on 2.2.12 at 23:55rhydhooker In a clear indication of all that is wrong with welsh rugby is the misapprehension that these players are wearing the colours of the clubs "where they began their rugby careers " .
No local clubs or schools are in any way acknowledged for the countless hours their volunteer coaches gave to developing them from eight to seventeen ( longer than they have played for any professional side ) . Instead they have turned up out of the blue in the professional structure and are wheeled out as a tribute to the " success " of the current system .
" Welsh rugby must never forget its roots " says Roger Lewis whilst doing and promoting exactly that .
For a real insight , lets see them in their mini and junior club colours . It may give a truer insight into where talent is being developed in welsh rugby . However , if they did that they may have to think of rewarding the hundreds of unpaid volunteers at the expense of their precious professional structure .on 2.2.12 at 14:17Showboat13 Ian Evans in a Neath top?
on 2.2.12 at 11:38MC Phill No comment :)
on 2.2.12 at 13:04Richard Evans Send Daf to have a word with him.....
on 2.2.12 at 13:31Richard Evans By my estimates, two-thirds of that squad came through the WP. Are you listening Jiffy???
on 2.2.12 at 14:13Richard Evans Including 4 2009 Lions in Halfpenny, Hook, Roberts and Byrne, and probably a few more next year (including the bookies favourite to be captain)....
on 2.2.12 at 14:15MC Phill 1/2penny and Hook started at Neath ;) - Okay LH wasnt here long but that was the O's fault!!
on 2.2.12 at 15:11MC Phill I like the American way of doing things - When doing Team Announcements on games on TV the player introduces themselves, followed by what School/College/Uni they attended - Nearly all different!!
on 2.2.12 at 15:13Neil S How about the statemnt that Cardiff have 5 players including Sam Warburton in the article, who is wearing a Glam Wanderers top. Ian Evans should be in a Ponty top?
on 2.2.12 at 15:28MC Phill Yanto I concede is Ponty Produce - But if Aled Brew/Tavis Knoyle/Shane/Duncan were in the squad we'd have two more Lions and 4 more internationals full stop!
on 2.2.12 at 16:49Andrew The listing of teams is a PR exercise ad the WRUin can't even be bothered getting the teams right, Ian Evans has rightly been mentioned but how can Llandovery lay claim to George North? It's a farce as he is not a Llandovery product he's a Llangefni product. Lewis's statement about the grassroots is complete candyfloss and I'm concerned he'll do a PR exercise and then ignore Owen Smith's campaign.
on 2.2.12 at 20:46winsky01 The way I'm looking at it is that it must be their first 'top flight cubs'??? Andy Powell is a product of Brecon RFC rather than Newport RFC. Leigh Byrne is a Bridgend Athletic boy, Mike Phillips is a Carmarthen boy and there are plenty of others that are open to debate as well......
on 2.2.12 at 21:08Andrew Yeah I get that but come on Newport isn't that far from Brecon, or Carmarthen from Llanelli, and the others are all in a similiar locality. But Llandovery is the other end of the country to Llangefni, it's PR nonsense. George North only played for Llandovery because the Scarlets scouted N.Wales and snapped him up. They might as well put a Scarlets shirt on him it'd be more accurate.
on 3.2.12 at 22:08Karen Davies It was the Premiership club they felt most affinity for - just a bit of advertising for the Principlality.
on 3.2.12 at 0:04biscuitboy Bang on rhyd hooker....Instead they have turned up out of the blue in the professional structure and are wheeled out as a tribute to the " success " of the current system .
" Welsh rugby must never forget its roots " says Roger Lewis whilst doing and promoting exactly that ......bang on Andrew..Lewis's statement about the grassroots is complete candyfloss and I'm concerned he'll do a PR exercise and then ignore Owen Smith's campaign..........The counter offensive beginson 3.2.12 at 0:11Neil S PR bull is the only way to summarise all this. The WRU can't even see that the Welsh skipper is wearing a Glam Wanderers shirt!
on 3.2.12 at 9:57ComeonthePont! I think this is a step in the right direction myself
I have long asked that Clubs shoudl be stated on teamsheets as well as Regions.
Why not have a rule that says
On teams sheets and in various publicity articles players are lised with their first senior club, their Premiership club and then their Region.
In this way the clubs involved in player development will have more recognition.
Hence we should reference Beddau, Ynysybwl, Treorcy, Cilfynydd, Llantwit Farder, Llanarean, Rumney, Aberaman, Mountain Ash, Rhydyfelin, Merthyr etc in our programmes.
It also wouldn't hurt to recognise Schools and Youth teams too.
Remember the Regions are just a new layer created by a man from OZ which have no traditional base at all.
COTP
COTPon 3.2.12 at 12:02Neil S Come on COTP dont be taken in by this. Principality wanted some exposure for their league, probably had a whinge at six nations time, so this is produced. No mention of any clubs next to players in the selection information and you will only see this or similar again if someone else putting money into the Welsh Rent a Union shouts loudly.
on 3.2.12 at 19:35Andrew Not against it being done but it should be done properly, which it isn't. I've stated this before but I reiterate that Lewis is giving us candyfloss and we should judge him on his actions not his empty PR gestures. Obviously the North scenario sticks out, I watched him bout 6 years ago destroy Rhyl's kids and I guarantee you he wasn't a Drovers fan then.

- Hows The Pitch
Pat Vellian Its that time of the year when our thoughts turn to a loved one. Hows the Sardis Road pitch looking this week? Forecast to be -6 on Thursday night and not much above zero until Saturday si Im thinking this fixture must be under threat.

Ebbw Vale will fancy another upset at home against Quins and Neath have got a tough trip to Bridgend Athletic (if Athletic played like they did against us last year). A decent draw for us although they'll be up for it and we cannot take them for granted! There is also guaranteed to be two Division 1 clubs in the quarter finals as well.
on 30.1.12 at 20:27MC Phill I'm pleased :)

- Non-Ponty
homer lone 2 players up against each other today and both wearing 4. Will James for Gloucester and Cory Hill for the Bloooooooos. I have to say that I spent 80 minutes slagging off CH and at the end of the game, quality told, GLOUCESTER 40 - 3 BLOOOOOOOOS.
Ole! Ole,Ole, Ole! 40 - 3eeeeeee.
They should have stayed with Ponty like I told them, but as with everything with the BLOOOOOS, THEY DON'T LISTEN.
Must have been 20% of the blues team that came from Ponty today.
Rhys Williams
Cory Hill
Ryan Harford and
Lewis Jones. Has anyone actually asked them if they actually want to play for this bunch of utter tripe that calls themselves a region.on 28.1.12 at 23:54pontyboy2 I"LL BET IF YOU ASKED THE PLAYERS INVOLVED, THEY WOULD HAVE PREFERRED TO BE PLAYING FOR THE PONT EVERY TIME.
on 29.1.12 at 19:00H griffiths I agree with your contempt for the B___S, But strongly disagree, with your condemnation of the four lads who also play for us .When they put on the PONTY shirt they give 100%. In the current system, it is the only way that they can advance,and pursue a professional career,I am sure if you asked them all if they wanted to play for the B---S, they would say yes, for obvious reasons,they would not shoot themselves in the foot,and be cast into the Rugby wilderness under this rotten system.homer lone, good luck to you, following PONTY & Gloucester, but please don't slag our boys off, they are just trying to earn a living
on 29.1.12 at 10:09homer lone No slagging off. I meant would they prefer to go to one of the others rather than thebbloooooos
They never took it seriously when I said they should have played for ponty. I am not a regular ponty supporter but a friend of mine who comes with us never misses an home game and has been watching both teams since the regio went tits up.on 29.1.12 at 10:25H griffiths At least you follow a true rugby club, in a proper system were they are on merit, not like our stinking corrupt system.Would any Gloucester fans in the shed, sign our petition, for the good of the whole of Rugby in Wales.All the best for the rest of the season.
on 29.1.12 at 12:33SOULpower Don't we at Ponty follow a "true" rugby club then H......wrong wording I think.
on 29.1.12 at 13:45H griffiths We Certaily Do follow a TRUE Rugby Club,unfortunately embedded in a Stinking system,which I hope is DOOMED in the future.
on 29.1.12 at 15:36SOULpower Amen to that!!!!
on 29.1.12 at 16:39
Andrew To be fair they probably do with the system as it is. Players should aim to play international rugby and sadly you'll find very few internationals at our level, Dico excepted. It's the mess the WRUi madeof regionalism everyone was to lose a little bit but they (kardiff) have lost nowt whereas we have lost loads and it's not just us either.
on 29.1.12 at 1:32Neil S Homer..to be frank; I have been criticised by a lot of people in the past, some very knowledgeable whose opinions I respect and they probably had a point for having a go at regional player movement and possible commitment. However, I have to say, that is the worst post I have ever read. It is disrespectful and naming individuals and I think you are out of order.
on 29.1.12 at 2:05Neil S That should have read " had a point for having a go at me".
on 29.1.12 at 2:06homer lone As I said I am not a regular ponty supporter and I am lucky if I see more than 3 games and I am looking from the point of being a Gloucester fan through and through. Not like you as a ponty fan as you don't watch them at all. And as for criticising commitment, the whole blooooos team were crap and they had it coming as they have beat us a few times in the last few years. They were lucky today to get 3 and unlucky not to concede a lot more. As for the post my friend who, as I said is a ponty fan, did say it would get a few replies from other posters on this site but overall I think it is all a load of bunk anyway.
AND AS THEY SAY, FREE SPEECH AND ALL
And to go back to your posts, as you say you have had some stick but you are talking about games that to be honest, you don't have the right to comment on because you did not see what went on, therefore how can you make a legit comment.
Just took a call from my mate and he reckns that I am talking crap againon 29.1.12 at 10:36Neil S I am not commenting on games Homer in any detail, because as you righlty say, how can I?

on 29.1.12 at 2:08Pontypant Actually guys, it was a bloody good match too watch. End to end stuff. Mistakes by both teams but the defence from both sides was brill. I had the added bonus of having Mr Clive Norling sitting behind me and the banter & result made the day.
on 29.1.12 at 8:18Neal Hammond The boys dogged it out and got the win in the end. I must say I really enjoyed it as a dog fight, and as a morale booster for the rest of the season.

on 28.1.12 at 23:42homer lone Gloucester v Blues today, crowd = 17000 to watcha game with almost nothing to play for. Glost fans will turn up for almost any game to suppport their team and I can assume from thecrowd that theirs and our team, as far as fans go, have a lot in common.
When we look forward to pre season games, I would love it if out committee could line up a game against Gloucester (home or away)on 29.1.12 at 0:06

on 27.1.12 at 23:20Jake Strange to see a decent crowd at Bridgend. Ironic that it was for a Swansea game!
on 27.1.12 at 23:25Neil S If I could "like" I would :-)
on 27.1.12 at 23:31winsky01 According to BBC Sport the attendance was just over 4,000. Not that great considering the match had a fair bit of publicity and was continually billed as "the first Welsh derby in Bridgend for 8 years."
on 27.1.12 at 23:56Neil S Really, looked more
on 29.1.12 at 2:09homer lone How the hell do they make out that Newport and Swansea is a derby game. The only thing in common is that they are both from Wales.
on 28.1.12 at 23:45Jake Is this the same BBC that quote Cardiff's first team games as 8000? LMFAO. Anyway, as for The Brewery Field, anything over 150 for RU is a bloody good crown down there. The trains from Swansea must have been packed!
on 28.1.12 at 0:08Jake or crowd even as opposed to crown :-(
on 28.1.12 at 0:10ComeonthePont! I gather the atmosphere was far better that an the Liberty
A lot of Bridgend people turned up and Bridgend is getting well behind the Ospreys as a Region.
The liberty and Cardiff City Stadiums are suffering from having no standing areas unlike Parc y Scarlets, and Rugby is best seen standing up!
It may be that Sansea City will want Ospreys out next Season if they stay in the Premiership an it may not be that unlikely that they move to the Brewery.
That's my understanding from people who watch the Ospreys at the Liberty and who were at the Brewery last week.
The downside for me is of course that any players from the Wales squad are missing at games such as the LV, which definitely detracts from the game.on 30.1.12 at 11:41
