Agree. It's dwindled over the last 15+ years, for all sorts of reasons; one is that's no longer a 'National' event. The longer it's stayed in Wales, it's become a 'regional/ Welsh' event.
And, also, during this time, the pull and exposure has gone, meaning no other regions/ authorities have thrown their hat in the ring to host it. So it's suited IMS to keep going to the Welsh for funding.

In an ideal world, there would be a big money sponsor, and the event could rotate, for example every 3-5 years in a different region.
Let's be honest, the event is starting to get a bit stale with the same stages more or less, year after year.
