[QUOTE="Alias, post: 726089, member: 72652"] Lets be honest here If you asked me Bristol fans to go and support Bath or Gloucester you'd soon get shown a little place where the sun never shines. Its the same in reverse and Its the same for Ponty fans, its the same the world over.. With the exception of those few who will support any succesfull team (Man U types) most of a clubs core fans support their chosen clubs for a reason mostly because we see it as ours, belonging to and representing us, our towns and the area to which we belong. Nobody in their right mind would think the proud people of the Valleys would except Cardiff Blues or any other club no matter how good they were as representing them. The only other entities that they rightly accept is their National team. Its the same for Bristol, Bath, Gloucester. from what little I can see and understand it just seems entirly brainless idea but thats just me. It must also be said and understood by all that something must be done and done quickly to support our grass root rugby and our clubs. It is the same both sides of the bridge. [/QUOTE]
