[QUOTE="bushytop, post: 981416, member: 56738"] Fair enough, the problem in regards to competing with the Irish Provinces and English clubs goes beyond attendances though... even if each region sold out every home game there would still be a huge discrepancy in match day revenue due to the ticket prices elsewhere. Tickets for the Welsh regions are under half those of the Irish teams (& they sell out more often than not). There are a host of problems facing our regions (obviously) but as I've said, personally losing a region would be the absolute last resort. I'd far sooner 'try' running 3 out of South Wales and one in the North before culling the total from 4 to 3. If that fails then the option is still there. [/QUOTE]
