Not just Welsh supporters as from my (admittedly limited) contacts many, normally dedicated travelling English, French & Spanish supporters are not bothering .

In fairness most are quoting the costs and inconvenience as opposed to human rights or football concerns but there seems to be very limited interest even from the press for this tournament.

I personally hope the whole thing collapses as a huge wake up call to FIFA. Probably not going to happen and we will undoubtedly be looking at further commercialisation and expansion.

I have attended six World Cups in my 40 years of following my lot but I have never been so disinterested in a tournament.
