[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 503116, member: 13739"] It's a pity that they might be relegated, but it's something which has to be done. The premiership is nowhere near the level required, and cutting it down to 12 teams is a sensible first step. The fact of the matter is that Pontypool are down towards the bottom of the table and have rubbish facilities. If it wasn't them, it'd be another team that's more deserving of playing in the new premiership. There's also the requirement of balancing the number of clubs affiliated with each region as well. Times change, Pontypool can't live off it's former glory of supplying the 70's front-row for ever. Historic teams sometimes get relegated, they've gotta live with it unfortunately, and if/when promotion/relegation is re-introduced to the premiership, they can try to force their way back in.
