' WELSH FANS GOING TO FRANCE? '

How many do you think we will take if we get there?

Lets put it this way,we are not guaranteed yet,but its looking good and many are already planning for it.

I reckon 12,000-15,000

Opinion

Already saving now

Planning on a ferry to France, and then finding my way to the grounds.

Still on a huge high over last night - even though I'm working at 6am tomorrow!!

I'm booking soon

I think double or even more. If we do qualify it will be a first for many welsh football fans. Like many rugby fans who go to France for the six nations it's a short trip. I can't imagine us having any problems selling our allocation.

20 plus these occasions don't come around often well be first for me if we mange to hold on and get through

We take 20-25thousand to Paris every 2years with the rugby, so after not qualifying for a major football tournament for over 50years, don't be surprised if we take over 40thousand if we qualify. Getting to France is easier than traveling to some parts of the UK now. The demand would be massive. Thousands would go just to fill up the bars and have a holiday over there, without even going to see a match. I think our following would be one of the biggest out there,I honestly do. It's been so long, everyone would want to go just to soak up the atmosphere of being part of a big football tournament.

Wales has a massive following, we just haven't been able to show it at a football tournament. Have a look how many we take on a British lions tour on the other side of the world.....that gives you an idea of what it would be like in a tournament staged just over the English channel

Everyone st that game on Friday should be wanting to to such an event.

I pulled out of France 98 through money issues and have regretted it ever since. I'd urge anyone who can go if you qualify to do it.

Hopefully we can party it up together.

About 20 of us are planning on going

All depends if we are lucky in the ballot for tickets! Certainly wont be going without tickets - if we miss out on the ballot we will watch on the box.

This plus I went on Friday night if we qualify my family plus my brothers family a total of ten would spend our summer holidays out there attending what games we could will be going regardless if we can get tickets or not
I honestly believe there would be 40 to 50 thousand welsh fans in France

recently bought campervan so our digs already sorted would be fantastic

I've done the same, it will be easier to get to games

I'd be happy to go with or without a ticket the atmosphere will be immense

Can't wait , I went out in 98 , Got called an "English Pig"

How much did you spend ? Sounds like a good idea.

My missus and I had already decided to head to France next summer whether Wales qualified or not so we could be in the country when the tournament is on. As fate would have it, my missus is now pregnant with our second child so that's put a spanner in the works! Still keen to head over though. Might even look to stay somewhere in Belgium and then head to a fan zone in Lens or Lille for the games.

Ill be there for a match or two

As it's France a lot of fans may decide to fly out and back in a day or perhaps one overnight stop. Many won't be able to stay out there for two weeks...but it would be great for those who can. Twenty thousand per game should be no problem for us.

Pretty much everyone I know has said they'd go tickets or no tickets!

Still partying after this result! Cannot wait for Cyprus let alone France...

25k at least

At least 35,000.

For the campervan I paid £14,000 but bought it 10 years ago

On the euro star would be a great way of getting there even if I only see one game I'd be happy

'Apprantely' when Ireland qualified for their first World Cup in Italia 90 there were many abandand taxis at Dublin airport because the drivers who were taking the fans to the airport ended up getting on the flights with them and dumping their cabs!!! Lol

I'm doing he campervan idea but waiting until the winter to buy as the prices are cheaper then and sell it when I get back in the summer so for hopefully more than what I paid for it. At least then Iw old get some of the spending money back
