I hope it's ok if I join the forum? Those of you who remember me on the 'official' forum will know that I am not here to be negative in any way, but have a genuine interest in seeing ALL Regions get stronger in future. Banter and rivalry apart, we ALL need to improve on and off the field to ensure a good future for Regional Rugby in Wales. So Hello all, I hope I'm welcome here.

Agreed. A merger would never work, individual identities have already been compromised in previous mergers, and to do so again would further dilute the supporter base of the remaining Regions.
Rivalry is good, Banter is great, but losing a rival Region would weaken us all.
Good luck with the formation of a Trust, it's a lot of hard work, but very rewarding, and as you can see with us, can lead to co-operation and understanding between the Regional structure and the Trust.
You may well have to face suspicion at first, but persevere and it can work to the advantage of both the Region and the Supporters.
In many ways it is vital the Scarlet and Osprey fans do understand that the Cardiff based union agenda is to merge us. We both need to fight to retain our identities and we need a growth not contraction agenda. Anybody who supports that agenda should be welcome here.
@scarletrover22 of course you are welcome. I will leave this thread open for a while but will close it eventually.
