Forget NY the WAG can't even get to Brussels, pretty poor considering Wales got/gets £££ EU Objective 1 money.
Unfortunately BRS is in a different league now (to think 10 years ago they were pretty much the same) and that's not going to change until the economy improves and the next boom period gets going. The best CWL can really hope for is that routes aren't lost, they just need to ensure that they put themselves in a position to benefit from the next boom - as I bet BRS will be.
