    My son with Welsh Guards will be marching on the pitch before the Bristol Game

    My son and other members of the 1st Battalion Welsh Guards will be marching out onto the pitch on Sunday before KO.


    So, for once I gotta be in the ground early

    Just random, it's about the forth time his Battalion has been involved, it's just the clubs way of showing they support the boys.

    Vincent Tan also gave them a substantial donation a few years ago.

    A few years ago it seemed every time I came over the army were marching.
    I thought there had been a military coup.

    Enjoy the day.

    No, I’m resigned to going in with the chavs.

    If however you know anyone who wants to swap seats for standing let me know.

    It's coming to something when the British army is funded by a Malaysian business man

    Cheers Tim.

    Don't know if you remember, but when we had that open air party down the Bay, to celebrate WINNING the Championship, Marc & Jay, were the 2 Welsh guards, in full regalia & bearskin hats, who carried the cup onto the stage.

    At the after party, the players were having selfies with Marc & Jay, not the other way around.

    Great photo of Kev Mac with a bearskin on. We were there till daybreak, great memories.

    Fantastic and fully deserved.
    These lads at times have to put their lives on the line so that we can have the way of life we enjoy.

    You must have been very proud Tone - surprised your lad didn't do the Ayatollah though - was he under orders not too?

    Yep, my lad was the one out in front leading the march, they must have been bleeding freezing standing on the centre circle for about 6 minutes. (my hand froze filming it and I must apologize to some people in the upper tier for getting in their way to their seats)

    Ya Tim, most of them did the , as they went down the tunnel.

    Marc was pleased that "OUR NEIL", said well done lads, to nearly everyone of them as they marched off.

    Great to see yesterday.

    Daughter asked me who they were and why they were on the pitch.

    I could answer the first part of her question, but didn't have a clue as to why they were there, at least I can now tell her it was random.

    What a great experience for you Tony.

    The Guards got a great welcome from the crowd too.

    Good for our boys to know how much we respect them and what they do.

    wish society was a little more proud of your brave girls and boys who serve with the forces, I have said it in the past, you cannot fault the US in that aspect, if they can cheers on the armed forces, they will
