[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 280550"] <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (munstermuffin @ Sep 29 2009, 08:51 AM) [url='index.php?act=findpost&pid=414044']<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/url]</div> Wasn't meant to be. I'm just trying to point out what a small area/high population density region the four Welsh ML teams are located in, and trying to understand why a rugby mad country like Wales cannot get full stadiums when all the supporters live within such a short distance. [/b][/quote] I know was only joking but seriously on your point i have feeling alot of welsh follow national team and not regions like in Ireland lots follow Munster and Leinster but not as many follow AIL teams or Junior teams. Just giving example but know scenario is different [/b][/quote] Could it be a "hangover" from the animosity over the demise, or rather, the decline in importance of the Welsh Clubs. I'll bet the was a[b] lot[/b] of anger over the combining of teams like Newport and Gwent to make the Dragons, and Swansea, Neath and Bridgend to make the Ospreys. I have found that the Welsh tend to have very long memories when it comes to rugby e.g. the Bob Deans try in 1905, the Andy Haden dive in 1978 etc. [/QUOTE]
