Spanish Cup Final in Cardiff

Due to a huge debate in Spain about where the Spanish Cup Final (Athletic Bilbao - Barcelona) where it is going to be held, Athletic supporters created a link to get signatures the final to to take place in the Millenium Stadium (Cardiff). What do you think about it???

Why are they doing this? Is it due to the arguments about independence for the Basque Country and Catalonia, or is it something else?

Athletic want a big capacity stadium and Madrid said Bernabeu is not available (don't want to see Barça winning or the King being booed by both side supporters). Athletic usually moves more than 60000 for an event like this. I just came across the link today and found it great!!!

How can the Spanish play football on the Millenium stadium pitch?
Its appalling and even a Slade team could struggle on it.

Pitch as been replaced by same type used at city and Swansea! If you saw last Wales game there it was OK!

Ive heard that there's an issue but Cardiff is ridiculous.

Wales haven't played at the Millenium Stadium for years.

The millstad pitch is now fantastic. Had a few teething problems over the autumn rugby internationals because the new pitch hadn't had enough time to settle, but now its had time to bed in, its perfect as you could see during the Wales England rugby match

Think of all those Spaniards using Cardiff Airport

Was refering to rugby recently would thought was obvious but maybe not?

Do we know yet why they have chosen to champion the Millennium Stadium as their venue of choice.

Is it purely due them coming here for the Super Cup and liking it? Kudos to the City of Cardiff if it left that sort of impression.

Fair enough, Allan. Last games there were when Toshack was manager. Seems a lifetime ago now!

It will be a small but good boost for our economy, definitely a good thing

Last time we played at the millennium was against England when speed was manager

You're right. Forgotten about that one!

Will never happen
