No particular thoughts on it from me - except for my dislike for this sign. Why are we as full renting stakeholders demoted to the same status as Newport RFC, who no longer even play there full time?

Looks 'cool' and slick, as others shave said they just need to start playing better and getting over the line and Winning - unfortunately they are and have been appalling in results terms going from a European challenge cup semi final a few years back to frankly 'hit with an S now [sadly] - but the new image is a start I guess...

I think this might be good news. If people can be persuaded to think of a club as a different thing altogether from a region, it's more likely there will eventually be one RFC in Newport which can then play at the top flight under the city's name and assume the heritage of NRFC like we have the original County's.

Rugby.....Football.....Union

Perhaps that's the three Fleur-de-lis
