[QUOTE="Bluemoon, post: 772772, member: 38204"] The pro clubs aren't going away because they are privately owned though VC. Plus all the stadiums, sponsorships, contracts, league commitments, it just isn't going to happen. Furthermore, the WRU can't afford to set up two teams and run them centrally. If that was the case then that's what they would have done in the first place. The teams are owned privately because there wasn't, and arguably still isn't, the money to sustain Welsh teams centrally. Private money has kept it going. Money is everything now. The pro clubs don't have the money to match Toulon or even Leicester. There are no rose tinted specs at Cardiff, I can assure you of that. It's very dark times as we don't have the resources to match your Toulon or Harlequins. No Welsh rugby club would be able to either. With respect as well VC, Ponty fans won't support anyone but Ponty. They didn't buy into to warriors (although a few are adamant they were, gates said otherwise), they aren't blues and they wouldn't be 'glamorgan' or something similar either. [/QUOTE]
