Sensible move?

Give a scooby?

[tigercaspian]

Any sensible business person would ask 'what am I buying'?

Perhaps a question for Messrs Craig, Wray and Boudjellal? Or what about that fella from Sports Direct?? He clearly knew all about wendyball north of the border!!

Anything that brings in extra Revenue to the Scottish game is to be applauded, as long as the right type of owners can be found. I feel there is enough of a supporters base to field a third franchise in the Borders region which is a hot bed of Rugby in Scotland. I would do it myself if I had the money.

Noddy is right there is a hot bed of rugby in the Borders, the SRU did try a borders team but there was little or no support as fans remained loyal to Kelso, Jedburgh, Hawick, Melrose etc. Much as many Welsh fans ignore the regional creations like Ospreys and attend Swansea, Neath, Bridgend games.

You can't invest in a rugby club as they don't offer a return.

SRU looking to offload £10m of cost per year but still wants a pipeline of players for the national side....cake and eat it springs to mind

I would not expect many takers !

No great value from Glasgow tonight against Dragons. BTW another match with a Tigers reject, Sears-Duru.

Agreed I feel Dragons should have won but for that missed tackle on that flying prop for that breakaway try.

Scottish rugby is going through a really bad patch just now, can't see where any money will come from. Still enjoyed at the amateur level, but Embra are definitely in a decline that looks terminal from here.
