[QUOTE="Prestwick, post: 94645"] The problem with the Celtic Warriors was that it didn't make financial sense, especially when being owned by a WRU lumbered with the debts incurred from building a brand spanking new national rugby stadium. It neeeded to go. The WRU was already paying £2 Million per region anyway (with a smaller amount going to the single club teams) and in its position couldn't afford to sustain a 5th club on its own. When presented with the choice of sabotaging the long term future of Welsh Rugby by keeping the Warriors or dissolving the franchise, he dissolved the franchise. A correct decision in my book.
