Will we be the most represented club in France ?

Sun Mar 13, 2016 9:29 am

And I don't mean just amongst Wales fans.

Id guess there will be at least 5000 City fans there.
Maybe as many as 10k in total.

Any other club from any other country taking more ?

Bear in mind this is 30-60% of our average gate it really is something ..

Mind you there's probably going to be 5k Wrexham out there- more than their average gate !

Celtic probably with Ireland, Rangers with Northern Ireland perhaps. Some of the Russian and Polish clubs will take a lot. I can also see the fans groups in Germany taking a trip to France en mass.

Good points, but I'd guess with limited tickets and places like Germany having loads of clubs then they will only be able to get a few thousand at each game.

Celtic and Rangers is a good shout - I forgot about them.

Ironic that like our support having loads of Liverpool and Man U fans both Rangers and Celtic fans will be representing clubs that don't play in the country they are supporting

I can see the German supporters clubs going without tickets to the Germany games, not sure where they are playing but if they are in the East it will only be a few hours travelling for some of the clubs in the North West of Germany, perfect for a massive piss up.

A massive piss up is spot on,thousands will travel tickets or no tickets just for the Craic :bluebird:

If you are talking % of home gates, Port Talbot Will have more supporters in France than their 200 average home crowd.

Given the fact this our first major competition in 60 years they'll not miss the chance. I honestly believe they'll take thousands. I know they had shit away following with wakes and it was usually cardiff/Wrexham. But come on, do you honestly believe they'll take a few hundred fans out?

Hopefully there will be no trouble either as we're all supporting one team under the best flag in the world.

Ok maybe I was a bit harsh :lol: maybe a 1000/2000,I'd guess Wrexham 5000 if not more,Newport a few thousand & Cardiff 5000 plus,then all other part of wales a good few thousand.Personally I think there is the potential (sadly)that there will be trouble between rival fans,sadly groups of Cardiff/Newport/Wrexham & Swansea especially after a few beers always turn on each other I've seen it for my own eyes as recently as Belgium away and as far back as Milan Italy away,it's a shame but a reality sadly.also alot will depend on who drinks where,who's staying where etc & unfortunately who bumps into who etc as all said clubs still have their own groups of hooligans & will never get along very sad but a fact of life.i do hope I'm proved wrong mind as we will need to stick together if the Russians & English go looking for trouble! but I can't see it as certain Cardiff & Newport/Swansea lads just don't get on they haven't for years & there will always be trouble if they bump into each other FACT! :bluebird: :ayatollah:
