[QUOTE="Alias, post: 773948, member: 72652"] As I’ve said before my knowledge of the Welsh structure is very limited so I’m not knocking individual clubs Beit Bridgend Ponty Cardiff or anyone, but that said I’m trying to understand a structure that would choose to deter any potential investor wishing to invest his/her money in clubs that are part of what is a rapidly growing sport and the logic and thinking behind people creating a race so fixed only a chosen few could ever win?? To me that’s not only, not sporting its cheating. As well as being anti competition. What’s the point in any other club existing if there is nothing to play for and nothing to be achieved by winning? I probably come across as being a bit thick here but I just don’t get it. Yes I know the clubs had problems and believe me we at Bristol know better than most all about that sort of thing, having lost almost everything we had including our beloved Memorial stadium. But I’m convinced if we had the same structure as now exists in Wales we would never have been in a position to attract the guy who eventually bailed us out. It seems to me totally wrong to prevent any hope any other club may have of attracting a wealthy backer and being able to compete with all. But that’s just my humble opinion. It just aint Cricket.
