New club, new management and new owners.

There were a couple of reasons given for the choice of Neath at the supporters meeting a few weeks ago.

The first was that it is available throughout the Summer, many others are not because they are council owned, and they will only reseed/maintain the ground throughout the summer months. Secondly, as previously stated, Phil Davies (the club's owner) is good friends with Geraint Hawkes (the owner of the Gnoll), and Hakwes has big plans for the ground. And finally, the other options were Sardis Road in Pontypridd or the Brewery Field.

Sardis Road isn't up to the standard of the other two (though the Gnoll's not great at the moment), and when Ponty didn't play there for about 2 months after the Wales-Ireland international in the European Cup. The Brewery Field quoted way over the odds for the use of the ground, and by the time they realised the Scorpions weren't interested in the offer, and came back with a price around half that of the original quote, the deal had already been agreed with Neath.

and Grendel, we agree on something. The kits are 'cking horrible!!

I don't like the kits either. I was going to buy one but they look like Power Ranger suits.

Some good information from the horses mouth too so to speak.

Good thing that RLW isn't doing lists articles any more otherwise the Scorpions kit would be a certainty for the worst ever RL kit.

I wish the club all the best but those colours have to go.

Fair enough that is also hideous, but at least it was only an away shirt and they only kept it for one year.
