Personally I think it would be beneficial if us, Swansea, Newport, and Wrexham were allowed to have "B" teams in the Welsh league system, either in the 1st or 2nd tier.

If that was the case, I'd like to see that team mainly made up of U18 players. By the time they get to 18 or 19, they would theoretically have had a season of competitive men's football under their belt. And while obviously the standard wouldn't be great, it would help them get a better loan at a L2/conf club, which is exactly what Purse was talking about.

We're already kind of seeing steps in this direction with invitations to the MG Cup, but it would be nice to see it on a more permanent basis.
B teams in the Welsh Premier would mean there would be no European qualification from the League which was one of the reasons it was set up.
