[QUOTE="Bluemoon, post: 935802, member: 38204"] I think you've misunderstood my comparison - it is the same in that Cardiff maintained a large amount of it's identity and the die hard Ponty fans wouldn't support that once the Warriors became unviable, much as if the O's or the Scarlets fans would have difficulties supporting a team that retained their previous identity over the other. Not happening now anyway, but the whole things has been remarkable. The problem still is with the 5 big clubs idea is which clubs, and who had the money to fund them at the time. The WRU were asking private business men to fund Welsh rugby, and we got what they paid for because no one else would or could. We are where we are, but what is clear is we need to reduce the number of teams. How that looks, who knows. [/QUOTE]
