I think this would also appeal to the average Cardiff supporter who has long favoured home-grown players to expensive imports.
Agreed but I believe it costs a shedful of money to set one up and maintain it. The Jacks have one so it remains to be seen if they can afford to keep Cat 1. There's bound to be cost-cutting down there.
