Ray Gravell Petition Update

Cambria’s Petition to rename the Prince William Cup the Ray Gravell Cup tops 2300 signatures in under two days!

The people of Wales have responded in fiery fashion to the petition to rename the WRU cup to honour the memory of national hero Ray Gravell. AMs, MPs, writers, singers and poets from all over Wales and beyond have joined hundreds of fellow Welsh men and women by adding their signatures to the list, and many have made comments which are, in themselves, powerful and moving tributes to a great patriot, gentleman and sportsman. And the support continues to build by the hour.

A journalist from the weekly news magazine Golwg told Cambria this afternoon that he had contacted the Welsh Rugby Union and was informed by a spokesperson that despite growing popular demand, the organisation had ‘no intention of changing the name’ of the Prince William Cup.

Cambria’s publisher, Henry Jones-Davies said this evening "I think we need to need to send the WRU a very clear message indeed about what the people of Wales expect. We still hope that the WRU will respond positively to public demand. After all, the people signing this petition are the very ones who pay for the tickets which keep our national game going, and, indeed, ultimately pay the salaries of the management!"

Let’s make sure we spread the word even further and aim for 5000+ signatures over the next week. If the WRU management won’t respond to that, it will be nothing less than a national scandal - and they will become nothing less than a national embarrassment!
