There's a few changes afoot...
The Ravens Supporters' Forum link is being removed from the main Bridgend Ravens website (for a number of reasons), so I recommend you bookmark this address to be able to use the forum in the future:
http://bridgendravens.myfreeforum.org/
Please note: All posts on this forum are the views of supporters and fans only and not representative of Bridgend Ravens Rugby Club Limited.

As we are all supporters of the club is there any reason that we shouldn't know why the forum is being removed from the site?
As the club is no longer owned by any individual perhaps the committee that represents us fans could tell us a bit more about what is happpening at the club these days and this forum is a way of there being an open dialogue for all those who follow Bridgend Ravens. |

The forum is continuing, as is the website. There will just be no direct link FROM the BridgendRavens.co.uk website. |

| With the forum being taken from the main web site, does this mean the web site, will be updated faster, as at the moment it is still giving the team to play the Ath. |

I am glad that the forum will remain in some format, as I find it invaluable for news on players and team announcements, details of supporters buses etc.
But without a link on the main website, how are any new supporters supposed to find it? |

I agree with ladyraven - how will any new fans or contributors find it.
we don't have enough supporters and we dont get enough supporter involvement in the club as it is. separating the website and the forum suggests that we are not an integral part of the club.
one of the reasons we get poor support at the moment is that people don't feel the club spirit and closeness to the committee you get in clubs like the Ath or pontypridd.
can you tell us WHY it is being moved? |

No. I just want to know why we're being moved away from the club's official website. I'm sure many others do as well.
One worry I have is that there is no link to this forum but there is a link to the ospreys website where there is another Bridgend forum. I hope this isnt another attempt to push Ravens fans towards the ospreys. |

Seems like a terrible idea to me - the forum gives more timely and accurate info than the website.
I guess it might help to tell us what the 'number of reasons' are. There might be a simple and agreeable explanation which would assuage our curiosity.
Pray tell.... |

When information is provided to me, I will update.
I have full time work commitments, all Ravens marketing / advertising is done on a voluntary basis by myself. |

This one here - http://www.ospreysrugby.com/forum/index.php
It's a bit off that the Ospreys are providing us with a forum, whilst the Raven's are cutting us off.
If they are unhappy about some of the comments, then surely it's better to keep them *in-house* as only us lot read this board anyway, than to risk them appearing over on the Ospreys one which is likely to get read by more people. |

Couldn't you just leave the link, but emphasise your words above, as part of the link, or even a separate page after the link saying

We really need the forum.
Plus, this has alreday been raised on other rugby forums. A question was asked by supporters of another club-Are Bridgend ashamed of their supporters? Why are they deleting their forum.
link here.

It's making us even more of a laughing stock.
Please reconsider.
Pretty please?
Pretty please with cherries on top? |

Thanks Rhyd, at least we know now there is somewhere we can post our feelings as paid up supporters that the blazers,badge and tie brigade obviously undervalue
