Editing Scarlets (section)

====2006–07 season====
At the first home game of the 2006–07 season, an information sheet was handed out to supporters with details of the club's financial situation. There was opposition by local residents to plans by the Scarlets to move to a new stadium and sell their current ground for housing development. The information sheet stated that, due to delays caused by the opposition and benefactors pulling out of the club, it was "extremely unlikely that [the Llanelli Scarlets] could survive to the end of the present season unless other financial assistance is found", which would result in "the loss, probably for all time, of professional rugby in West Wales." Local residents believed, however, that the infrastructure, such as roads and schools, will not cope with 450 new houses being built on the site. On 28 November 2006, the regions secured investment from Tim Griffiths, a London-based businessman.<ref>{{cite news |title=Scarlets 'saved' by new investor |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_union/my_club/llanelli_scarlets/6191096.stm |website=BBC Sport |date=28 November 2006 |access-date=5 December 2006 }}</ref>

In the [[2006–07 Heineken Cup]], the Scarlets recorded one of the most famous victories in their brief history as a region, defeating Toulouse 41–34 away, despite twice trailing by 21 points. This was an unexpected victory, despite the Scarlets having won their first three games of the 2006–07 competition. They later secured their place in the Heineken Cup quarter-final with a convincing 35–11 win over Ulster at [[Ravenhill Stadium|Ravenhill]]. The Scarlets went on to become only the fifth team in the history of the competition to win all their pool matches. They beat current holders Munster 24–15 at [[Stradey Park]] in the quarter-finals, but were beaten 33–17 in the semis by a strong [[Leicester Tigers]] side, putting an end to their hopes of making it 'third time lucky' in Heineken Cup semi-finals.
