Both Cardiff and Swansea poll fans as to whether to look into the possibility of relocating over the border, which many supporters reject instantly. Some club directors put together last minute plans to breakaway and form a 'Celtic League', but are unable to get the support they needed from Celtic, Rangers, several other SPL sides and clubs from Northern Ireland and are forced to shelf the idea.
