It looks like the superclubs have now hijacked the B&I Cup for themselves now that the LV is over.
Richard Holland is about as slimy as you get. Look at the email he sent. What a tool.

Let me let you in to a little secret...probably about 95% if not more of Ponty rugby fans like myself just turn up and watch games and have a few pints (and a cheese burger in my fat case). Those who have a say in the running of the club are a small band of people and I personally along with my friends and family have no contact at all with any officials or people who write in programmes
So I am not sure as to who these 'rabid disciples' egging them on are
But you have the opportunity to raise concerns at your clubs embarrassing behaviour right?

When I started supporting Pontypridd, Merthyr RFC were almost a pub side, the reason why I went to support Pontypridd in the first place though is because my father, who has always been a Cardiff RFC supporter, took me to Sardis Rd to watch a Ponty and Cardiff game in my early teens, I was so over awed by the local support I just wanted to witness it every week, pre regionalism I was down there most weekends, 20 mins on the train, less by bus, and I was hooked.

So stop associating the acts of one or several individuals with everyone else involved in Ponty rugby club. It's narrow minded and damn right insulting to all the decent people who support the club
I swear I've read you posting stuff about haughty stuck-up Cardiff fans. Remove the mote and all that.

Cool. A case of following the nearest big team, as things should be

Not entirely sure. I have never tried due to my own personal reasons.

It's the official club line Steffan. Twitter accounts. Programme notes. President quotes.
If it was a moron fan I would not have much to say on the issue. But the official stance is something entirely different. I can only assume you agree with the cringeworthy soundbites if you don't condemn them. Poor.

Which is fine. Just don't complain then, when people pick your club up on it's cringeworthy official statements, quotes, notes and tweets.

And presumably you're intelligent enough to know the damage caused by the bilge your club keeps spouting in public.

I'm sure there are plenty of decent Pontypridd fans. But the lack of any discernable voice condemning their hate filled official bile is worrying. they want to be a pro side, yet their (official) behaviour is worse than most amateur clubs.

Ponty.net is a wretched hive of scum and villainy.
Are the match day programs approved by the club ?

You'll have to point out where I've done that by the way.
Fair play though, like how people can act the maggot then play the victim when questioned about it.

Re: Regional A teams
No come on you have sarcastically suggested that all Ponty fans are the same. The same scum and villainy (yes I know it is a Star Wars quote) that post on Ponty.net. You have said we are all the same. Me, my 72 year old dad, my 12 year old nephew, my brothers and other friends I watch Ponty with. We are all the same. You suggested it pal. You put us all into that same bracket. Big manmunkian wrote:Steffan wrote:You can't tar any set of people with same brush.

I've found this thread a little tough to read, there seems to be a number of posters working out their frustrations toward a club they clearly dislike on the odd fan of that club.

I havn't, and I will admit to not being too in the know regarding the complexities of the situation, but I dont see a poster arguing for whatever the viewpoint is there, infact I see him as distancing hmself from it, only to be hounded that he should do more, why should he?
If we were all accountable for the clubs we supported we'd all be humiliated at one time or another! I'd rather judge the man on what he has to say as opposed to what his local rugby club does.

Yes, I have no original thoughts in my head and go with the crowd. You don't think that if lots of different fans from different clubs are saying the same thing there may be something in it ?

Obsessed ? Its a thread on the Regional 'A' teams - a move that will help drag Welsh rugby kicking and screaming into modern rugby.
The only club delaying things is in the Cardiff Blues region.
I dont read Ponty Fans, my point was that this fella on Twitter isn't just some lone gunman as suggested - he is fully endorsed by Ponty RFC.
If the Dragons allowed something similar I'd be rather vocal in my displeasure with them and argue with the person posting it so people dont all think we are village idiots.

Seeing as there is a link to an article there right at the top of this thread, and it was just as the blueprint for this thread, it is pretty fair to say that it is pretty relevant to this thread, and to the debate on here.
Although, I do agree that if you are reading a club specific forum/website then you do need to expect it to be more one-eyed and skewed than a multi-team/sport forum like here.

Re: Regional A teams
Sorry, maybe I shouldn't have commented, but I found the last page difficult to read and didn't enjoy it.
If there are a number of fans arguing for A, and just a sole gunner arguing for B, thats just fine, but the trend was attacking in nature, questioning a posters morals, beleifs, and those close to him as 'Ponty hurtfull name', despite him clearly not agreeing with whatever was posted on Ponty's website.
I was more concerned that the air was turning colour from 'I dislike what was said' to 'Do more you Ponty hurtfull name'.
I have no view on Ponty rugby or their fans whatsoever, except for a former Ponty prop who bit my ear during a game lol, but i'd like to think I'd have enough respect to not attack an individual like this. I have no qualms about having a go at Toulon, their owner and what theyre doing, I'm sure however the fans, players and employees are cracking people.

I agree fella and while I have only read the last 45 minutes worth I haven't seen the Pontypridd supporter suggest for one moment that he agrees with any official views of the club. However, the pack mentality demands that unless he is setting up a protest committee he is part of the same evil. It's bonkers lol.Fanster wrote:munkian wrote:I was pointing out the complicity of all these middle of the road mild mannered Ponty fans who have nothing to do with the bizarre views condoned by Ponty RFC but won't lift a finger to portray themselves in a better light.

Re: Regional A teams
Guys, what we need to realise is, there is very strong support for the regions from fans on this forum, they know their regions are teetering on the edge, and if anybody says anything that could cause the teetering to tip over then they will defend their region.
Just like ScarletSpiderman or ChunkyNowrich will defend Scarlets if I say they should not have been a region to start with, or Saint or Risca will defend Dragons if I say they should drop the city name from their title and the what not.
People like me and Steffan, we support Pontypridd, and as soon as somebody comes on here shouting about that club we will defend it, it is all human nature, there is no need to get personal on here, we all have a point of view.
but one thing on here that seriously needs looking at, is the pack mentality, and people ganging up on the one.
I think we should stop taking life so seriously, we can debate without delving into the nasty depths of insults, life is just too short.

Although, I do agree that if you are reading a club specific forum/website then you do need to expect it to be more one-eyed and skewed than a multi-team/sport forum like here.
That's frightening, before your disappearance I don't think we ever agreed on anything. Are you sure your really you?

Re: Regional A teams
Maybe I jumped the gun a bit fella, but your relentless posting on them plus demanding that Pontypridd supporters denounce all things Ponty or face the same fate lol that I was reading did give off that impression. It's all a good crack on here I'm sure. Anyway back to work.

Why does it concern you so much? Why not just read the forum of the club YOU SUPPORT? How is anything on that forum hurting you or YOUR RUGBY CLUB? Seriously fella I been reading this thread the last half hour and you seem more obsessed with Pontypridd than Ponty supporters are lol.

Just like ScarletSpiderman or ChunkyNowrich will defend Scarlets if I say they should not have been a region to start with, or Saint or Risca will defend Dragons if I say they should drop the city name from their title and the what not.
People like me and Steffan, we support Pontypridd, and as soon as somebody comes on here shouting about that club we will defend it, it is all human nature, there is no need to get personal on here, we all have a point of view.
but one thing on here that seriously needs looking at, is the pack mentality, and people ganging up on the one.
I think we should stop taking life so seriously, we can debate without delving into the nasty depths of insults, life is just too short.
I think you are the vocal minority that believes the regions are 'teetering on the edge' hence your multiple topics on it.

Re: Regional A teams
People don't gang up. I for one, don't need anybody to justify my views. On the same footing, if you are maybe hounded by a "gang mentality", you maybe need to look at yourself and think more than one person disagrees with me here. Maybe I am somewhat wrong.
You're also basically suggesting I would have an issue with Dragons dropping the City name. All I've taken issue with is when you posted that "it was no coincidence that Ospreys and Scarlets did better out of the teams, given they'd dropped their place names".

I'm not sure about others here, but I would like to say that whilst I may argue with you on here I wish you no ill etc, and really hope that goes for the rest of us posting on here. The text-based communication thing is always a bit flakey as it relies on the reader to put the tone and inflection into the text, which sometimes misses the mark.
P.S. how the f*&k can you say the Scarlets should never have been a region in the first place. You must be some sort of F^%k*£g inbred B&"!£!&d to even consider that!

This is just getting better and better.
hahahaha My head is about to explode, I don't know who's side I'm on anymore hahaha
I'm going to try something...
Maybe London Welsh should become 1 of Wales entrants instead of an A side?

No, I've never defended the name. I'd rather us just be referred to as 'Dragons' - but at the same time I don't see what major difference it will make. I think Risca Rev is of the same view. So this is more BS from you. I've never come across a more boring poster than you, repeating the same BS every day as if it would have a different meaning to the last time you mentioned it. No this isn't an attack, it's a fair description of your 'contribution' on this forum.

Well it's been said time and time again about how Pontypridd and their fans behave and it's in full view of the public domain. Surely people outside of Ponty are going to point it out?
If a poster (who happens to also be a Ponty supporter) constantly attacks Blues and other regions during the season, takes pleasure in their defeats and refers to them by incorrect names then that poster might suffer some retaliation against himself and maybe the team he supports? Just a thought. That's why I don't see it as a mob mentality but you Ponty folk are always crying victim no matter the situation.

What contributions do you make on this forum ? The last topic you started was about Ospreys being the worst side, we all know how that went.
Anyway, did you not listen to the warnings off the MODS, anymore nonsense will lead to bans, so I will reply to you if you want to debate properly, but if you want to keep being obnoxious then I will just ignore you. I cannot be fairer than that.

More regurgitated mumbo jumbo from PD, yawn! and no, it actually wasn't the last topic I started. If you're going to be like that, how do your regurgitated topics where you just end up repeating yourself go down? It looks like you often get stumped then pretend that never happened, before repeating yourself a few hours later .
Ignore me then. I was responding to some more of your BS comments, oh and what do you know you've gone and ignored it after being proved wrong... And I was also responding to the ones crying victim.
