[QUOTE="higgik, post: 935841, member: 74704"] Think you will find that the Moffett plan was, Llanelli/Swansea, Neath/Bridgend, Cardiff, Celtic Warriors and Newport/Gwent. This was not accepted, by Llanelli as they wanted the same status as Cardiff, (and Newport, as they wanted nothing to do with the rest of Gwent). Clubs putting themselves before the greater good has caused this. [URL]https://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/rugby/rugby-news/chronicling-15-years-welsh-regional-14495876[/URL] There is a quote that one of the last games before regionalisation was Swansea, Pontypridd and it had a crowd of 932!! People have got to realise that professional sport is a business, looking for our hard earned cash. The WRU got it wrong by allowing some clubs to take over the idea of franchising. They should now ask for tenders from Clubs with sound business plans as franchises for the Welsh in the Pro14. They need to include minimum standards on stadia, revenue streams and projections on income. [/QUOTE]
