Park Promotion Pontypool Rugby Club
Neutral Citation Number: [2012] EWHC 1919 (QB) Case No: HQ12X01661 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUSTICE QUEEN'S BENCH DIVISION Royal Courts of Justice Strand, London, WC2A 2LL Date: 11 July 2012 Before : SIR RAYMOND JACK SITTING AS A JUDGE OF THE HIGH COURT - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Between : PARK PROMOTION LIMITED T/A Claimant PONTYPOOL RUGBY FOOTBALL CLUB - and - THE WELSH RUGBY UNION LIMITED Defendant - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Ian Rogers (instructed by Messrs Geldards LLP) for the Claimants Adam Lewis QC and Tom Mountford (instructed by Messrs Charles Russell LLP) for the Defendants Hearing dates: 25, 26 and 27 June 2012 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Judgment Sir Raymond Jack : 1. This case is concerned with the right of the claimant, the Pontypool Rugby Club, a club with a proud history, to continue to play in the Premier Division of Welsh rugby in the 2012/13 season. The defendant is the Welsh Rugby Union, which organises and controls the sport of rugby union in Wales. It is the view of the WRU that as a result of the re-organisation of the Premier Division to reduce the number of clubs playing in it and Pontypool’s position in order of playing meritocracy of the fourteen clubs formerly in the division, the club is now only eligible to play in the Championship, the next division down. The essence of Pontypool’s case is that clubs which are above it on a basis of playing merit have not met the requirements to hold an A licence as required for the Premiership by the WRU’s National League Rules 2011/2012, and so there is a place for Pontypool within the Premiership.

Wales: Culture and Identity Rugby and Welsh Identity
Wales: Culture and identity Rugby and Welsh identity Gareth Williams I think Welsh rugby has a fairly unique nature certainly within the UK and possibly even at a worldwide level. There has from – almost from the very beginning been a strong, working class presence in the game in Wales, certainly started in the 1870’s and 1880’s when the game arrived in England from the English public schools and universities and it initially made an impact at the public school Llandovery, Lampeter college, Brecon College, at that level in Wales but in less than a decade it spread out into the society which was at that point undergoing massive population increase, related to that massive industrialisation. So you have a new workforce which is anxious to assert itself and it will take to the game of rugby for a variety of reasons. But from the very beginning therefore certainly by the time when Wales won the first rugby triple crown when they beat the other three countries, England, Scotland and Ireland, for the first time in 1893, there was a strong working class complexion to the Welsh National Fifteen which marked it out as different from the other national sides, which were predominantly middle class and professional men, not professional in the playing sense but they were financially independent. They were doctors, accountants, surveyors and so forth. I think then there's a distinctive characteristic to Welsh rugby, which was resented, it must be said, by the other home unions. They thought that Wales was was acquiring unfair advantage by the fact that they were coal miners and steelworkers and dock workers, but particularly coal miners, in their side who were using the skills of their work at play in ripping the ball out of mauls, physical strength.

Study on Sports Agents in the European Union
STUDY ON SPORTS AGENTS IN THE EUROPEAN UNION A study commissioned by the European Commission (Directorate-General for Education and Culture) November 2009 KEA – CDES – EOSE: Study on sports agents in the European Union 2 KEA – CDES – EOSE: Study on sports agents in the European Union EXECUTIVE SUMMARY I. Overview of the study In March 2007, the European Parliament invited the European Commission to assist football bodies and organisations in improving the regulations governing sports agents 1. In July 2007, the European Commission indicated in its White Paper on Sport 2 that it would “ carry out an impact assessment to provide a clear overview of the activities of players’ agents in the EU and an evaluation of whether action at EU level is necessary, which will also analyse the different possible options ”. The European Commission’s terms of reference for this study confirm that the European Commission “ wants to have an analysis of the situation regarding sports agents in all the sports they deal with”. The aim of the study is therefore to examine the situation of sports agents in the European Union and to identify, analyse and describe the questions that their activities give rise to as well as the solutions that have already been provided by public and/or private actors, thus enabling the European Commission to assess – on the basis of the data collected, the problems identified and the analyses carried out – whether intervention is required and, if so, at what level and in what form. The study develops, for the first time, a European outlook on the issue of sports agents.
