[QUOTE="Teh Mite, post: 460894, member: 12332"] Because it's a bullshit, ring-fenced tournament which panders to the WRU and robs smaller English clubs the opportunity (e.g. Pertemps Bees knocking out Wasps from the old tournament) to mix it with the big boys. The pay-off for winning is a more then the HEC but it's hardly soccer levels of cash. The (English) fans turned against it from the get-go (the welsh enjoy it more however as they love any excuse for "England v Wales"), the crowds never turned up for matches, the clubs started using it as a tournament for the kids, EDF realised they were on a route to nothing and pulled the plug, LV= came in and tossed their wallet about but didn't really gey it, then suddenly the finals of the tournament is only attended by 10,000 people* in smaller stadia.
