France 2016

Is anyone already starting to think of a trip out there for the Euros? Whether Wales qualify or not me and a few mates have been think of going out there for 2/3 weeks. Does anyone know if any supporters clubs will run trips out there or would it be best to make your own way?

Got a good feeling we will qualify for it so it would be great to see thousands of Welsh out there :ayatollah:

This has to be our biggest chance to make it. The buzz it would create in Wales and especially for the fans that would travel would be immense. If we make it then I would 100% make the trip but even if we dont it's something I would consider going to experience.

Haven't heard of any supporters groups planning to run a trip though mate.

I'm considering starting to save for it already, would be fantastic for wales if we made it, both for the football and the country. :ayatollah:

I can't see us qualifying, I think we'l come close which will only make it feel worse.

I just dont think we have it in us, unless our non galactico players start playing for the shirts like true warriors and 100 commit themsewlves we are set for heart break, missing out on play off's or losing in play offs

I went to Portugal in 2004.
Booked when wales drew out in Russia in play offs.

About 40 of us

Wales did a Cardiff in the home leg and didn't make it.

Ended up in the Russia Greece group game in Faro stadium. Great

Approx 200 wales fans in stadium.
Great atmosphere with Greeks and Russians. Flag from Scotland and Ireland, USA, Australia there but......

A full end behind the goal full of England!
Naughty fans out too.

Albufeira was a very violent town in that tournament.

I may go to France, hope Wales do too!

Yes I'm going whoever qualifies been talking about this as last chance for a while to get to a big tournament - the next 2 world cups (Russia and Qatar) not realistic to get to and the next Euro's in 2020 in multiple countries so loses that tournament feel
