Subject: The All New "Bed"... Opps, sorry shambles !!!

Yes it is sad to see the likes of Hywel and Huw Daives, along with Ian Phillips, Lee Tomlings and Richard Hughes leaving for pastures new... I am an avid at the club and have been for some time. And I place the demise, of a once thriving club, solely down to the management of the club. This does not reflect on the coaching at the club, even thought coaching did not get the club to it�s current league position. (Bought players did)

The club is run by what can no more be described as �A Bunch Of Muppets��. Club players have reduced tragically year after year for the last 3 years, as money has been �Thrown About� unnecessarily. In fact, on good advise I have been informed that players under contract, have been offered higher monthly rates at a later date for no reason at all�. Is this the way to run a business�? Remember what I said earlier �Muppets�.

Now people wonder what has happened to the likes of players like Leighton Morris, Dai Goulding, Lee Miles, James Roadway, Rob Smith, Colin Hughes, Ceri Rees, Richard Thomas, Richard Jones the list goes on and on�. The simple answer is the club itself; they have turned an always-busy club into a �Caer Model�. That is a Caerphilly model where you are left with no players in the clubhouse, one hour after the final whistle. It is a sad position for a small village club to find itself in, sorry the Davies brothers, Moose, Billy, Rhys, Young Richard Hughes and a few others keep the bar going, but how many of them are still playing.?

The question I must ask is �Has the club gained from it�s current league standing.?� The answer is a big NO! Loss of players, No crowd increase, Loss of club atmosphere (When was the last time there was a decent club/player sing along� Answer when G.Rees was last in full playing action) and most of all a RED balance with the bank manager.

With a bit of luck the WRU will reduce the money given to D1 clubs, and the club of old will return, players and atmosphere included. Remember �The Dream�.

- this is the problem with paying players, as i said below only prem players should be paid and at this level we should look after the players with kit etc. as we are seeing it is causing problems throughout and do they really deserve the money they are receiving ? better off with local talent who will play for the club because they want to ! and not for what they can get out of it. but it`s an awkward situation as spectators want a winning side and if you dont pay then another club will and players leave personally i would do this and let the club find the level they can sustain div 2 ?? their are only so many players to go around so cant all go to the paying clubs.
