Fed Up with Bitching at Wales games

well as a pure blood Cardiffian instead of being one of us Welsh imposters he obviously can speak better on the subject

i don't get what you're hinting at here... Elaborate? I'm a pure blood Cardiffian too..

oh and congratulations on turning yet another thread into a rebrand topic havent you got anything better to do?

it was a light hearted quip, hence the laughing picture at the end.

I dont have to elaborate on anything it was a joke

Who is bigger who has had the most success in recent years Blah Blah Blah.

Wales has two premier League sides and Wales national team is very poorly supported, why? because of the stupid rivalry that Swansea and Cardiff have. I am fed up with seeing club football shirts at international games, we are one country.
Fair enough on derby days etc Banter is great but if we are ever to get behind Wales it should be as one.

End of Rant

You right about who's bigger, no point about arguing about things like that, everyone in Wales knows it's Cardiff

Spain made a big fan fair about being 'one Spain'. three tournaments ago. They have won every tournament since. Good post.

We could have an extremely exciting generation coming through soon. What is also exciting is that the age groups will be young and of similar age so the talent pool should get bigger over the next few seasons.

In regard to youth we have Jonny Williams, Adam Matthews, Ben Davies, Emyr Huws, Lloyd Isgrove, Declan John, Paul Dummett, Elliot Hewitt, Lloyd Jones (Hopefully he stays with Wales!!), Danny Ward, Chris Dawson, Tom Lawrence etc etc. There are also lots of other hype players at really good status one academies - Everton, Liverpool, Fulham and Wolves have a lot of young Welsh talent in their ranks who will come to the fore over the next couple of years.Of course there's us and Swansea too who are continually improving at producing Welsh talent.

Wales are lacking in key positions though - Goalies, centre backs and strikers. Hopefully one or two will come good. Strange that we are producing an abundance of left backs though. Hopefully they'll all turn out like Bale then we will be sorted.

KEPPERS. We need a keepers who are playing regular footie in top leagues. Apparantly Darlow at Forest is illegible, he seems a talent. Jonathan Bond at Watford has turned his back on us after using our U21s to better his career. I'm hoping Hennessy gets back to good health and form. Hopefully Danny Ward turns out to be a top level keeper and hopefully he gets a loan this season.

CENTRE HALVES. I think we nees Ashley Williams to play on as long as he can. He is integral to the way Wales need to play. He is a good athlete so hopefully he wants to play into his thirties. But we need a young partner for him as I don't see who that might be. Gunter as centre half? It's all a bit thin on the ground. Lloyd Jones at Liverpool is one of the most hyped 17 year olds in British football. He is a Plymouth born CB now at Liverpool who has played for our u17s. I think it's touch and go whether he will play for us. AS soon as this lad plays a pro game, whether that be on loan or for Liverpool I would like to see him called up to the A squad and hope he accepts.

I can see Matthews, Joniesta and Isgrove coming good on the wings in the future which would leave us to chuck the most expensive player in the World to play 'fake 9'...

If we kick off the next campaign well, we will stand a great chance I believe especially as the Euros expands from 16 to 24 teams who qualify. If we get a sniff, we'll be back in the Mill Stad once again...

great post that!

20 pound a ticket it was for Wales vs Ireland for an adult? To see Wales reserves vs Ireland reserves. Silly as f**k, can't even pack the CCS or Liberty, only for rivalry matches against Scotland etc. Absolute joke, lower the prices, get the FAW off their arse and promoting the games then more people will go. WRU advertise the hell out of their games, in return they get a packed out Millennium

We are one of the best in the world in rugby so that obv plays a part.

like another poster said Wales had huge crowds, some of the biggest in Europe when both cardiff and swansea were dire, so how does it figure? If the team do well the fans will come back. apart from all the stats you do wound like a wet fart 2bh....

I find it staggering people dont go to watch Wales.

It's worth the £20 to see Bale and Ramsey alone.

Also people keep bleating on about no atmosphere at football anymore, yet when the Jocks were coming to town with huge support for a derby game, people still didn't fancy it. Shit support.

The same people who slag off "plastics" who only turn up for the big Cardiff games, are the same people who only go to watch Wales in a big game.

biggest problem is every game is on TV

That's a big thing, I agree.

I seriously think the FA need to do a tickets scheme like they did in the early 00s. 72k against Azerbaijan!!

Also a packed millennium stadium against Finland and Serbia. It's unbelievable how quick the crowds dropped.
