Wales have been shafted by UEFA yes, but the least Welshgov

Wales have been shafted by UEFA yes, but the least Welshgov and Cardiff Cou could do is run a fanzone, even multiple.. by own rules we wouldn't even need to test we can have up to 10,000 outdoors?

Seems lazy and is ruining the experience with the lack of venues to watch!

Hi Annis - not sure if you caught this, but on Monday Welsh gov announced they would work with any local authority who wanted to run a fan zone, and that they would prefer people to congregate outside not inside. So this is with local authorities to decide, it is their decision and it is their remit. Cheers Jimmy

Cardiff council refused permission last time.. but you must remember the restrictions imposed on venues holding a fans zone makes it pointless excersise when people can go to a pub to watch game or to friends house... its just a publicity stunt so that WG doesn't look bad and most councils cant be bothered with the hassle of arranging zones..
