In conclusion crowds of both codes are pretty similar and are dependent on success! There is room for both codes in Wales and I support Cardiff City and my local rugby club and both International teams!



what errors.. more people watch football. play football. and watch football on TV. those are the 3 markers.


Wales do not sell out all games especially against lesser teams, in fact they sell to Joe public to get full houses! gone are the days when cannot get tickets because rugby clubs have them all now they return tickets as cannot sell them. ... besides its just an :excuse for piss up and businessmen to leave wives at home and take their floozies to Cardiff for wkend of fun..... :old:

Lowest crowd for Wales Rugby friendly at Principality Stadium 50,000+ Wales Football 10k if you’re lucky! Why don’t Welsh Football Supporters support Wales? Even qualifiers not a 33k sell outs I know because I was there!

because they watch more than 4 football matches per season ?
you cant be cherry pick the one rugby stat that holds up . especially when the 6 nations is in effect the rugby version of the EUROS and Wales are one of only 5 countries that can win it.. do you really think if the rugby had to play qualifiers against Croatia, Slovakia and andora the arms park would be all singing and dancing or half empty ?
btw England , France and Scotland all sell out the rugby... and do not always sell out the football.. nobody in their right mind would suggest or base an argument that rugby is bigger in any of them ,so why do it here ?

Usually sell out but dont do they ? 50k is not 73k! And as I've said only get 50k at games because WRU have to advertise and sell tickets to the public because there is not same interest from rugby clubs anymore ... I know because I've bought them after being advertised in press. And fans go there for the piss up not the rugby as can testify by drunk behaviour inside the bowl and this is common knowledge so much so wru have started to put in alcohol free zones in stadium bowl :thumbup:
