We the undersigned wish to show the Welsh Rugby Union that we want them to protect our game in Wales. We demand that they negotiate with the regions and Regional Rugby Wales with immediate effect, and renegotiate the terms of the Participation Agreement, making it up to date and fit for purpose.


We demand that the union does not bring the game in Wales into disrepute by inaction or aggressive negotiation.

Seeing one hundred people sign this shows me that I am not the only one worried about the future of our matches. These signatures represent a group of fans who truly care about the survival of the game in Wales.

Seeing two hundred and fifty names on this list hits home because I know how much this game sustains our communities. I never thought we would reach this point so quickly but it proves how many of us refuse to watch our rugby heritage fall apart.

although English I have watched and enjoyed the welsh game for several years from the clubs, to regions, to national team. the structure gives strength to the game. It has to be protected and made secure. WRU please for the sake of welsh rugby rethink your plans.

It's time the WRU started acting and negotiating from a position of good faith. The strangulation of the pro regions in a shameless attempt to grab total control will kill our game.

Fair compensation for the use of Regional players, so that meaningful competition can still take place when our stars are away with team Wales, is a reasonable start for negotiation. If the WRU are unable or unwilling to offer this, then untie the strings please!

the union needs to get off its arse and ensure the regions have the £ to keep te best players. without our players at club and regional level how the hell does the union think its going to get the next generation of players for the national team?

I am returning to Cardiff after many years away. One attraction is the rugby. But will it be of an attractive standard? As a professional negotiator I am shocked at the lack of progress and the insanity (not too strong a word) of asking the Regions to sign an agreement without knowing the content.

I'm a Scarlets supporter and seeing the exodus of our top players leave, not just the Scarlets, but the other regions has left me in despair! The WRU should have spent money on refurbishing the Millennium Stadium and ggiven more money to the regions to ensure that out top players stay in Wales!!
