If you force people to support regions (look at welsh rugby) it probably won't work. This isn't the best analogy I've ever seen. I love cricket, and I am probably going to boycott the 100 because I'm so against it. After all, England have just won the world cup, and we aren't even going to play any 50 over cricket domestically! Seriously, the ECB are a disgrace at times.
Are people that attached to the counties. I mean in Wales the county attendances are poor. For all the talk on here for wanting to support Wales in Cricket, people do not support Wales in Cricket, or Glamorgan, or their local clubs.

The franchise system works well in Australia and in Indian systems, and i do not think it will hurt to have a look at it in this country.

Im a traditional cricket fan, i support Glamorgan I attend matches, i am not a fan of the 100. However i do feel that something has to be done to attract new fans to the game, especially in Wales.
