[QUOTE="Prestwick, post: 175765"] The only way a team in Aberdeen would work is if firstly it were a fully private venture with no SRU interferrence and secondly the maximum effort possible was made to court the student population in Aberdeen which would mean probably whoring out the best known players nightly to the various clubs on Belmont Street to impress the ladies and hand out discounted tickets. As for the Magners itself, beyond hope. If I were head of the Magners with tyrannical powers, I'd eliminate automatic HEC places for Ireland, Scotland & Wales and instead allow only the top four teams in the league qualification into the competition. Also maybe impose stricter salary caps and squad limits to prevent teams resting (possibly, probably has never happened) entire XVs for HEC duty but that would be something I'd impose on all leagues, not just the Magners. Something has to be done to make the teams take the league seriously. [/QUOTE]
