[QUOTE="Amiga500, post: 935938, member: 56767"] So did you vote for Brexit then? :cool::D The clubs cannot professionalise very much if they can only get a few hundred people through the gate. It'll all end very quickly very badly. So, lets say we pick 4 clubs and make them "super"clubs, put them forward into the Pro14 and see how it goes. We'll pick the top 4 teams based on a mix of league position and geography. Since you obviously cannot chop and change clubs in and out of a multi-national cross-border league due to the seismic shift in infrastructure and investment required, this is it set in stone forever. So that gives us the following 4: 1. Merthyr 2. Carmarthen Quins 3. Newport 4. Aberavon So are folks like yourself gonna follow Ponty in the Premiership and also rock up to Merthyr to watch them play Leinster in the league? The Ospreys are going to the wall with attendances around 8,500 - 9,000 (till 2016-2017). No single "super" club would ever have come close (aside from one-offs way back in history). Thinking otherwise is utter lunacy and indicative of someone with very poor cognitive function. The same mindset that will see rivers of chocolate run our way in April. :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
