heres a thought : Sat Apr 24, 2010 11:58 am  
The Scorpions really wanted to start last season but they thought 2 teams in South wales would be too many

The Scorpions play at the Neath RFC club who are owned by a guy - who is very dynamic ( and wealthy) and Neath RFC have won the Welsh premier division 5 times in last 6 years.

Problem is Neath cannot get promoted into the Magners league as that is ring-fenced for Regional sides only ( even though 2 of the sides are not really regions - Llanelli scarlets and Cardiff Blues )

The owner of the Scorpions is chums with the Neath owner and this is why the Scorps play at the neath's ground The Knoll

Now the Scorpions have said they want to work their way up the leagues and bid for a Superleague place in 2014.

The owner of the very successful Neath RFC side may just be interested in getting involved in this bid as the rugby league DOES reward effort unlike the dozzy WRU who allow pathetic sides like the Dragons have been and the Scarlets are now, to continue to retain their Magners league status no matter how badly they are run and play

good one to watch

Iolo. My mum is dead actually

Thanks for that

Scooter Nik. Yeah right. Of course she is, probably turned up her toes in disgust at having spawned a prat like you

not being funny port but what exactly are you trying to say?

1) that the owner of neath rfc will buy into the scorps = result good all round but not really going to affect the fans.

2) he will be so disenfranchised with the WRU he'll drop neath RFC?

or am i just being a retard and not understanding what you meant?

No chubbs, you are spot on

I think he will eventually withdraw his funding for Neath RFC as there will be no reward for being successful

and then I think

he will get involved in the Scorpions bid for Superleague, provided they are really serious

Particulary as the Superleague wants 2 sides in wales
