How many would wales take to a wc

Thu Jun 12, 2014 8:03 pm

Watching this and I'm excited. Was thinking that any serious football fan would definitely go wherever in the world if we qualified. How many do you think we could take to a world cup? Im thinking 20 thousand considering it's 58 the last time we got there :bluescarf:

To me any football fan would have to go whatever the cost be it loans, re mortgage whatever if we qualified I would expect a massive turn out and the world cup being a better tournament for Welsh involvement :ayatollah:

Would you honestly go to Qatar? Not for me can't even drink or bang a bird on the beach, and the small little fact of 50 degrees Celsius :lol:

Bearing mind not many tickets make their way to real fans at World cups it would be under 5k.

Euros in France in 2016? I can only see 50k plus going and that is serious. You can go out there for the game and be back in work the next day quite easily then fly back out for the next one. As it's France and the fact that we ain't qualified for a long time with all the Rugby boys jumping aboard we will have a big presence.

If we make France, then I think 15,000+ . The thought of belting out the national anthem at a European or World Cup is what dreams are made of.

Just look at Ireland in 2012, took thousands out to Ukraine where their games were played, and only a fraction of those went to the games. I'm looking forward to the next Euros whether we qualify or not, definitely worth a trip

Yes I would be there I Qatar if we qualified but that will be our luck probably to qualify fir a tournament where you cant have a pint :lol:

I would 100% go, i know a few who would travel no matter what. i honestly believe if we ever reach a world cup no matter where it was..i could see us taking at least 10k there would be a strong following from both Cardiff and Swansea, along with the rest of the welsh premier clubs, that's without fans from Newport and Wrexham.

A nation would 110% pull together :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

I would love to think we would all pull together as one but I would be sceptical to say the least. It would be a nice thought though :thumbup:

Re: How many would wales take to a wc

Fri Jun 13, 2014 9:20 am

I think if we qualify for France we will take around 10-15 thousand

Re: How many would wales take to a wc

Fri Jun 13, 2014 7:58 pm

France I reckon 20k

This^^ we take 15- 20-25k to Paris for the 6nations rugby, so if we qualified for the Euros after not qualifying for a major tournament for generations, then everyone would be booking a holiday to France, 40-50k easy

If we were to make it to France in 2016,it could be a following of 40,000+ & would'nt it be a fitting tribute if Wales did well to the many thousands of Welsh lives in paticular lost in WW1 & a 100 years since the Battle of the Somme.

I like many others on here have had their dreams dashed so many times regarding Wales so put your mind to it that it will never happen and you'll be better off mentality believe me

went to euro 2004 in portugal when wales was on the cusp of qualifying but we failed yet again

went anyway as we booked and had to endure ingerland all over the place

in europe wales would take at least 10k

To the question how many we would take to a world cup, It all depends on where the world cup is. The next one in Russia I would be hoping for 20k Plus. I myself would definitely be out there!

Re: How many would wales take to a wc

Sat Jun 14, 2014 6:55 pm

We would take so many people would be surprised. We would never know if we would ever qualify again
