Thought I'd get in before you get the usual 'nothing to do with us' line.
Lots of reasonable points in there, but, I think in all seriousness, there are few grounds in Gwent up to standard to host regional fixtures. If you look at car parking facilities, toilets, transport-access, floodlights, seated capacity, etc, grounds like EXP (much as I love it), PPP, et al, are not really up to scratch.

If, and I mean if, the departure of TB from the Dragons means the end of the Newport Gwent Dragons and the start of the Gwent Dragons, or even just The Dragons, there would need to be a shedload of PR work done to attract the supporters of Gwent clubs, like me, and most of the others I speak to in Ebbw, and the consideration of a new centralised, good quality ground/stadium would be a start, but it would need the suppot of ALL Gwent clubs, and it 'aint 'appening at the moment.
