Another one bites the dust

Tredegar basically gone. In the late 90s several of the big clubs of the 70 were empty stadia prior to redevelopment. Many more were by C21 out of time scrapheaps (e.g. Bridgend). World beating clubs like Neath collapsing. It's heartbreaking that the great game seems to be in some extinction event. I blame it on social media and the death of normal child play meself, coupled with the litigation culture imported from the USA. No doubt many will go full business and no brio, with talk of products, brands and commodities. I still like to think of rugby as an expression of essential human creativity and community.
