If you live local too Cardiff, get down there tomorrow night, a huge huge game under the lights, the boys need us more than ever. Yes the tickets are a bit pricey but this is the golden age of welsh football.

Very poor crowd.

Unfortunately the FAW have tried to cash in on our recent successes since 2015 and have hiked the prices up. 3 years ago I paid 20 quid in the Ninian stand for our World Cup qualifiers, now the same ticket is 30 quid

I’m sure if they put a late train on a few more would go . With most last trains at 9.30 -9.45 people would miss last train or have to leave game early which defeats going . They should put a extra train on to allow people to get to central after the game in time to get home for people unable to drive or if they prefer to have a drink . If it was rugby they’d be putting trains on til close to midnight

I am surprised by this. We haven’t had a game with fans for 2 years too.

Nobody wants to spend money watching us play Estonia. It’s a formality fixture and it’s hard to get the general public excited for those. I would imagine a 30% uplift just because bale is playing prob be 12k if he was out.

The price of tickets is a huge factor my mate asked me to go but 35 quid is far too much so I declined.

Cost is a big factor for many at the moment and the FAW haven't helped themselves (nothing new there) with their pricing...
Maybe they (mistakingly) thought people would 'flood' back after the dark days of the pandemic but if so, they have misread the mood/situation...
Having said that, whilst I am not one of them, there are a lot of genuine Wales supporters out there these days and most of those will be there to support their team and 18,000 sold to date against a team most on here couldn't pin on a map, isn't too bad a figure...

This exactly.No trains back up to the rhondda after 8,which is shocking.It is expensive tho

It's not expensive to watch the match considering the players we will see. City games are dearer and we have to watch the likes of Bacuna.
Train timetable is embarrassing for a capital city, but that's down to the Welsh assembly ( contracts given).

I agree that the prices are a bit on the higher side than they probably should be but all in all its a poor crowd for what is meant to be (in the view of some) our national sport

Stephen, I hope you are well, fella...?
Our 'national' sport is modernly whatever we're doing best at that time...
Mainly rugby, sometimes football, occasionally cricket and (when it suits the glory chasers) cycling, bowling and tiddlywinks
Unless, of course, you're BarryFraud88, when anything negative is picked upon like an irritable rash (Lord help Wales don't go 1-0 down tonight)

I completely agree with you btw, I said exactly the same thing pretty much on a similar thread the other day
