[QUOTE="valley commando, post: 773658, member: 72217"] Yes I miss the old anglo fixtures especially the West Country ones and the games we used to have V Lydney and Cinderford from the Forest of Dean. Ponty fans would usually make a weekend of these fixtures as we have done in the BIC, although Worcester is only 2 hours drive from Ponty several 100 fans stayed overnight in Worcester having the craic with the locals into the early hours with the volume of alcohol consumed a welcome boost to the local hostelries. [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] In theory if there were 2 regions, lets say East Wales and West Wales for arguments sake and that if the Teams were playing in a meaningful league, a European Super League for instance then these 2 sides could easily get 20,000 through the gates regularly. Underpinning this could be a development league in Wales of 4 clubs from the East and 4 from the West -: West could be Llanelli, Neath, Swansea and Bridgend. East could be Cardiff, Ponty, Newport and Ebbw. No relegation from this development league with players surplus to the regions playing amongst up and coming youngsters. This in my opinion would be a product to excite fans and would help keep Wales at the top table, because currently there is still a lot of apathy in Welsh rugby with the grass roots suffering and with out proper foundations the house will collapse.
