Plenty of empty seats at the Wales vs Australia game.

[Jimmy the Jock]

Australia minus 4 , being pragmatic not anti Wales.

National sport.

Staying around the bar areas getting pissed, not actually watching the game that is.

I noticed that I wonder why?

[Ianto13]

Yes they only sold 65 thousand for a friendly,I wonder how many theWales FA will sell for their friendly against Panama 15 thousand if they're lucky?

You're seriously comparing Australia in rugby with Panama in football?

[Ianto13]

Panama are in the World Cup Finals, we are not?

[ccfc_is_my_life]

Panama are in the World Cup Finals, we are not?

Panama sure as hell wouldn't qualify if they were in the European section.

Again, how many eggers would turn up for a friendly vs Guyana? Answer, less than those who turned up for the Blues - Leicester game at CCS.

In rugby Wales are a relatively big fish in a very small pond so have been fairly successful through our entire history.
In football we have punched above our weight recently in being in and around the top ten in the world but, 1958 and 2016 aside, we have been constantly starved of success. No wonder we don’t pull consistently big crowds.

If the situations were reversed, ie the football team playing in and regularly winning a European 6 Nations tournament every year, playing a series of home games against top world sides every autumn, playing in every World Cup without having to qualify, local media saturation, and a general culture of going on an all dayer for the rugby, then I’m sure things would be very different.

And even with all that, more people play football, more people watch football domestically, more football teams... christ, even Warburton wanted to play football rather than egg but wasn't good enough to play for us...

In fact, let's do a true comparison.

Australia - 3rd in egg chasing rankings. Football, that would be a game against Portugal.

Panama in football are ranked 49th. In egg chasing, that's the MIGHTY Guyana.

I bet you'll now claim the eggers would get more than 15k playing the MIGHTY Guyana, having stated they'd play youngsters. Quite frankly, a second team wouldn't be needed to stuff Guyana, sixth/seventh would do...
