[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 799355, member: 39190"] Agreed on all points but I wanted to ask what you meant with 'the stadium'? Its a world class facility asfar as I know and I've only heard good things about it though never having been there I can't give y own opinion. The thing about the Kings- and here I'm trying to be positive and hopeful of them long term and I'm not defendig their inclusion- is they have the player pool the local economy and facilities to be highly competitive. Port Elizabeth is SA's 6th largest city (Soweto the only bigger city not represented in SR) while Bloemfontein (where the Cheetahs are based) is not even top 10. Players that are active now who hail from the provence off the top of my head; 2 Scarra Ntubeni 4 Jacques Potgieter 7 Siya Kolisi 8 Dewald Potgieter 9 Jano Vermaak 10 Elton Jantjies 12 Jan Serfontein 13 Lionel Mapoe 14 Sergeal Petersen 15 Johan Goosen Their problem has been poor and corrupt management and finances. They have just, like a few days ago gotten rid of their CEO, have secured a reliable sponsor and I'm sure now with being in the light of SR rather than the rther oscure CC tier 2 and with SARU on board directly they will be managed more properly. I might be being naive but they have the resources. [/QUOTE]
