This could solve my current identity crisis. I have been a Surrey fan all my life (come on the REY) moved to Bristol two years ago and watched Gloucester a few times, got membership as a leaving gift. But just could not become a fan, so when Surrey pitched up in Bristol two seasons ago, I got in with my members card, bought a cheap drink in the members stand, and supported Surrey all the way!!

But if this new regional system came about, I would not be able to support London, I am not from London, but from leafy Surrey. Plus the fact that one third of the team would be Middlesex players, who I generally loathe..

The result, I can easily become a South-West fan without feeling I am betraying my roots.. even if it is linked with Glamorgan!!
