Scotland Rugby News London Scottish Rugby Club have offered free entry this weekend to all London Welsh season ticket holders following their team’s expulsion by the RFU.
The English governing body’s decision this week to revoke London Welsh’s professional status, and banish them from the second tier Greene King IPA Championship with immediate effect, comes following months of uncertainty caused by financial issues.
This has led to scores of players and coaches effectively unemployed, but little has been made of some of the biggest losers – the heartbroken fans, for whom the loss of their team was further compounded by the loss of their season tickets.
Having suffered the same fate themselves back in the 1999 season (when they were sent from the Premiership nine leagues down to the very bottom, before working their way back up) fellow Exiles London Scottish are offering their Celtic brethren’s season ticket holders free entry to their game against Yorkshire Carnegie at Richmond’s Athletic Ground this Saturday.
For this one-off special offer, Welsh supporters should show their season ticket at the box office and will be presented with a free Clan ticket in return.
What do you think of the show of solidarity? Don’t forget to comment and share this with any London Welsh Fans you may know.

Well done Scottish !! Fans First
Well done LSFC! Best club I was ever part of. Glad to hear the family spirit still strong.
Great gesture by London Scottish, shame the RFU were not as compassionate,
Proud to be a London Scot… I remember the pain of relegation all too well. Hang in there Welsh xx
Well done, Scottish, a really grand gesture, but, as a Newcastle Falcons fan, I do feel that Welsh have now got their comeuppance.
Would the RU have done this to an English Club?
Excellent idea !
Gotta love the Scots. Chwarae teg (fair play). A game played by gentlemen.
The Rugby Family shows its mettle
This is one of the best gestures from a fellow rugby team who themselves have also been through the mill it also shows the full values of rugby union and the rugby union family well done London Scottish RFC
