I just got around to watching the rest of MOTD from Saturday, Cardiff had a must win game, against inconsistent opposition. 3pm not on telly. Yet LOTS of empty seats all over the ground. Why? It clashed with the rugby but even so.

Because it clashed with the rugby, surely. So much bigger in Wales than football

Not at club level. Well, not any more. Sad really.

The six Nations is huge here, especially with Wales on course for a grand slam. Not surprised that many decided to go to the pub/Scotland instead.

They don't deserve to stay up then. They can keep their precious rugby. Which, incidentally, is an English sport.

You'd think the English would be better at it then.

Now now.

It is only a mere 22 years since you and [MENTION=189]Wozza[/MENTION] had a tango fandango around English Welsh things. A mere 22 years. And I have a photo of you both, in relative harmony, in the Cricketers in Gillingham a mere 2 years later. Let's not resurrect old tensions, eh? ??

Bugger. Too late. My bad.

(Hoity toity, indeed ).

They probably don't have that many season ticket holders.

Edit: Just looked and by the end of May, had 21000.

Not golf.
Arguably the origins of the game came from Europe and golf as we know it today developed in Scotland.

Can anyone advise of the possible rearranged dates being considered for the Cardiff game at the Amex?

More than Palace then.

Egg chasing is still king though. Mr K is a Swans fan, but I guarantee you: given the choice of a vital Swans league game or a Wales Six Nations clash, he'd choose Poshball every time. He's already excited beyond belief for this coming weekend (Grand Slam time apparently).

They got to Sweden in 1958 - only lost 2-1 to Brazil in the quarter finals. That was the rather odd tournament when a quarter of the finalists came from the UK.
