[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 401703, member: 13739"] None of the posters there had a clue tbh. Each one shouting for the same things over and over. It's a lovely idea to have all of Wales covered propperly with regions, adding two more, one in Ponty and one in North Wales, but the money is not there. I love it how valley supporters are so angry about being bundled in the Blues region, yet disregard the fact that North Wales have no-one to support within 200 miles and 4 hours. North Wales has to be the priority, because the simple fact is that Ponty is barely 15min drive from Cardiff. There may still be firece rivalries between the valleys and Cardiff, but these won't last forever. Saying that, a simple name and slight colour change wouldn't go amiss from the Blues to at least show some sort of willingness to embrace their region. Afterall if the Scarlets can drop the 'world famous' Llanelli name, Cardiff can do something similar. Well, ultimately we're left with this mess, a mess brought about by petty rivalries and stubborness in the first place, so we've gotta make do. We can not re-structure the regions now, and we can't go back to clubs. In 50 years time, the regions will have bedded in propperly, and the teething problems will have been long forgotten. Nothings straight forward in Welsh rugby though! [/QUOTE]
