Do you think Wales could have filled that stadium and shown Uefa what they are missing?

Its irrelevant as the home of welsh football is the CCS.

NO

Until a week ago they were Struggling to sell out Cardiff City Stadium, plus Cardiff City suits the team more, better atmosphere, more intimidating than the Rugby stadium :thumbright:

There would have been large empty spaces there. A packed CCS has more atmosphere than a half empty rugby ground.

More importantly could they have won in the millennium stadium.

No chance, would have had 50,000 the most and even that would have been a struggle, like Annis said the tickets numbers were selling quite slow until bang that victory in Baku, what got remember is even when the team is doing amazing its not always a guarntee sell out even at the CCS. We would look like a joke again if we went back the mill stadium, the players love the ccs lets keep it that way, if not enough tickets to go around that so be it

Last night possibly after Azerbaijan result! But certainly we would only get 40k at most during a qualification group.... think there is 20k taunement ticket holders so plenty of walk up availability until games like last night? CCS is perfect as 20k make enough noise the millennium stadium is a disaster now for the team! One off friendly against Brazil ect millennium is fine ... :thumbup:

I think a friendly against Brazil,Argentina, England or Portugal would fill Principally Stadium depending who we draw! But why do Wales Rugby get 50k+ for a friendly like the Barbarians whereas the Wales Football Team still struggle to sell out their games? Lots of seats v Croatia and they’re 4th? in the world?

Why would we want to return there.... Smaller stadium more atmosphere. A return to principality would be huge disaster

No. It wouldn't. We played Spain in a friendly last year and guess what. That didn't sell out

Cheap tickets and for many rugby fans its only time get tickets to see wales play... tbh the millennium stadium is a crap ground to watch sport from unless front couple of rows in upper tiers! Spent one game watching gamec on the tv sets as couldn't see game 100yds away from behind goals.. :old:

because very few countries take rugby union seriously { their number 1 or even 2nd sport } so therefore we are always one of the better teams..
if our football team regularly reached world cup quarter finals and was regarded as a top 8 team in the world the football crowds would be the same..

Probably, but they wouldn’t have got the same atmosphere as you got last night at CCS

Couldn’t care whether we could have filled it or not you don’t get the atmosphere like you do at the Cardiff city stadium but they should have used ms as a venue they already know it’s a great stadium for holding big matches

No thanks sat next to some bird with a cowboy hat on,
asking why after playing 80 mins are they still playing on.
