Jamie.
Bechet45 said:It could be because I am a Tigers supporter and Tigers have a very large wallet but we - the Tigers supporters - have made sure that Tigers have a playing field that makes it tough to beat them. If you want a level playing field, I suspect you'd need to revert to amateur status. If you want a professional playing field, you need to buy tickets to the game and turn up in replica shirts as well as recording it on Sky or ESPN.
He with the biggest wallet wins? He with the biggest, most loyal fan base has the biggest wallet. Having said that, we get to the final every year but have only won three out of eight (mainly because we have played in all the other finals because we have a huge wallet because we have a huge, loyal fan base).
Bechet45 said:Here's a question to consider: what is the difference in structure between the Irish regional set-up and the (existing) Welsh regional set-up? The one seems to produce a large fan base and generates lots of money whilst the other does not, even though they are both based in largely rural - or thinly populated, anyway - countries.
The WRU can re-arrange the deckchairs yet again but will achieve little until the supporters start spending money. One fantastic Wales team will not generate money week on week, now, will it?
