We're a credit to their country last night! Not that large in numbers but loud throughout the game, bouncing up and down, singing and all well natured with no trouble (that I seen)

Also let off flares in the away end and the stewards and police said nothing, proves that it can be done safely and efficiently. But on the other hand if we did the same we would be getting massive bans.

It's a shame that health and safety in this country will ruin the Atmosphere at football nowadays.

They were awesome. Very loud. But football is more than a sport to them after the Balkan war.

I'm not convinced, I thought they were very quiet from after we scored until they scored...but I was at the complete opposite end of the ground so that might not have helped :P

I watched the game on TV but they were very loud from start to finish, fair play to them.

Very loud on the television, not a peep from the Welsh fans. Flares have to be banned, it can be done safely but theres always one idiot who will start throwing them around. Plus if the authorities said we could bring flares to the ground there would be bedlam as every man, woman and Dai Hunt would bring one down the CCS.

Carnage.

I was at the game and thought they were nothing special. Nothing in comparison to the Belgium support at the CCS.

Shame the Welsh support was piss poor. We never create any noise at the Liberty.

I think it could be done safely where there are one or two representatives who stand by a policeman who let them off who are chosen by the club. The risks do outweigh the necessity for them though so I can't see them being introduced in our grounds any time soon. We should never look at eastern European countries as a template for safety at football matches! No offence to that part of the world but they just don't seem to give a shit!
