🏉 Exciting updates from the heart of Welsh rugby! Rhys Blumberg, the Dragons CEO, confidently states that the Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) “desperately need us” as the team navigates through a period of uncertainty. With rumours swirling about potential regional cuts, the Dragons are standing firm, thanks to their “solid foundation” and strategic plans.
In a recent meeting with fans, Blumberg assured supporters that the Dragons remain stable and are actively planning for the next decade. Despite WRU plans to potentially reduce professional sides, the Dragons have secured a five-year Professional Rugby Agreement (PRA25), ensuring their funding for the foreseeable future. “We’re poking the bear around what the next five or ten years looks like for the Dragons,” Blumberg stated, showcasing their commitment to long-term success.
On the horizon for the Dragons are exciting off-field developments at Rodney Parade. Transformative discussions with Newport Council and the Welsh Government are in motion for a new full-size 4G pitch, a 2,000-seat stand, padel courts, and a fresh clubhouse. Ambitious, right? 🏟️
Blumberg is also keen to support neighbourly ties with Newport County, ensuring they continue playing at Rodney Parade, even amidst challenges like potential relegation from League Two. There’s no legal worry – but the Dragons are all about collaboration and community spirit.
Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to move forward with Dragons’ thrilling journey in Welsh rugby. 🐉
