No music for National Anthem tomorrow night
Only a few bars anyway and then it's over to the fans to sing acapella, requested from the players apparently.
Should sound great.

Well at least we can't get the timing noticeably wrong...
The faw have asked us to get into the ground for 7pm so to be there for the player warm-up. Lot's won't be able to but considering the queues that build up when it's full make sure you plan to get into the ground as early as you possibly can.
Re: No music for National Anthem tomorrow night
Great move. The anthem has been farcical lately with the music going way too fast. It'll sound perfect with just the fans singing it.
Re: No music for National Anthem tomorrow night
At least it won't have some "pro singer" (Kath J?) leading the singing, or ruining it.
Re: No music for National Anthem tomorrow night
Great idea. Last two have been terrible.

It's time to sing it in English. It'll save the embarrassment of seeing people mumbling it. Only Welsh language fanatics and die hard leek soup lovers would object.
This land of my fathers is dear to me
Land of poets and singers, and people of stature
Her brave warriors, fine patriots
Shed their blood for freedom
Land! Land! I am true to my land!
As long as the sea serves as a wall for this pure, dear land
May the language endure for ever.

Especially with this as the rousing finish.

Yes, I note the irony. But let's be realistic here, you can't expect people to commit to memory an anthem that lasts a whole minute.

Isn't the verse missing a line?

Is that all it equates to? The Welsh version takes about 4 times longer to sing!
