According to my estimates 87.6% of those 73k will be fat bastards and in excess of 95% will be boring feckers who are obsessed with Gareth Eggwards and Max 'oggi, oggi, oggi' Boyce.
Have you seen the size of the beer guts on rugger fans? They're enormous, and the men's are even bigger than the heifers who wear a daffodil headdress.
Rather than that bloated mass of humanity wobbling its way to the Principality Stadium later on they should be sat at home watching it on TV.
Doing so would be much better for the environment. But those selfish blaggards prefer to damage the planet further by travelling there using transport whose emissions also help to further poison the lungs of all of us.
Few, if anyone, would contend that attending any rugby game is among life's necessities. It's time to ban spectators from Six Nations' games for the benefit of the greater good.

Great to see City leading the way on helping the environment by reducing crowds to around 14000 in a 33000 capacity stadium.
More work to do but I’ve no doubt they’ll get there to reduce it further.

My cousin & her daughters have decided to go line dancing in Spain instead, so that’s 3 less daffodils
Old Wembley used to have lower capacities for Rugby League finals, than FA Cup finals, because rugby fans were thought to be bigger.

Are they like the women in ‘Monroes’ once upon a time?
If so, do you know where I can get an inflatable leek?

Personally I'm delighted they're all turning up and paying a fortune. I've got no time for it myself, I do love watching Cardiff Rugby though. Without the grant from the WRU I wouldn't get to watch top class players every week. The pathetically small crowds at Welsh club rugby would struggle to pay expenses for 25 amateurs.
So as much as I'd love to judge the daffodil heads, I hope they have a great time and fork out another £80 for the next game aswell

I used to go to Monroe's on Wednesday nights. Can't remember what the night was called. Lots of goths.

Tickets for today's game from £199:

Quite a lot of dosh to watch, if you're lucky, 40 minutes of actual play out of the official 80. Fast becoming one of the most boring sporting events IMO.

Cardiff City fans going up to Hull today will be leaving at 7 am and getting back at 10 tonight
They will be forking out for coach travel and match ticket and food about 60 quid ?
That's one game so for hard core fans that's 10 or 12 of those trips a season and sometimes more
600 quid
I think when it comes to commitment rugby fans are not in the same league , it's a social say out 2 or 3 times a season
My main memory of international days in the 1970s was the puke. It was everywhere. It was normalized. Grown men going into town, getting pissed off their faces and puking in the street. I can remember a bloke sitting next to me in the old North Stand puking and falling asleep. Weird as ****.

It isn't much better these days.
Midnight in Caroline Street could pass off as a zombie film on rugby day.

There are lots of more commited fans aswell to be fair. Lots on Wales away trips, lots go on lions tours. There were even a few Cardiff fans in Dublin last week for the Leinster game.

When I was a kid it seemed like Wales took thousands to Scotland. Like 10, 15, 20 thousand. Was I dreaming? Does that still happen?

Lions tours every 4 years
Dublin 1 weekend every other year
Welsh football fans travel everywhere , all the time a lot further than Scotland, Ireland
But as far as the rugby establishment is concerned these people don't exist as Wales is a rugby country
Welsh club rugby fans don't have to travel far for their games but even then hardly any bother

I done a couple of Scotland trips (weekend on the piiss) in the late 80s early 90s. Edinburgh always seemed to be flooded with Taffs and I had tickets for both the games.
Edinburgh is a great city, just not when its flooded with Taff's.

Well it was always exaggerated but even so it's every 2 years. It's a holiday .
And it's not a lot further than the trek to Sunderland, Carlisle etc that football fans have done for years

Didn’t they used to be akin to bi annual pilgrimages? Sometimes staying the in same village & town outposts miles from the game’s venue. No intention of going to the game whatsoever, just having a three day binge with the locals.
I’ve even heard of some going to, for example, Ireland this weekend on the planes that have brought the Irish fans over.

Went there only a couple of times. Once after a City game called off at either Plymouth or Exeter away which ended up in an all day piiss up which ended up there. Another after a Panasonic works do, both on a Saturday, both I got molested by older women.
I didn't feel the need to report it.
apparently the English don't like the welsh, funny thing tho the Welsh don't like the Welsh either

Great friendships formed which is unique to rugby if you read The Times
Absolute bollocks of course , plenty of friendships formed in football , cricket , euro vision song contest
not sure what to watch city getting battered by hull or wales getting battered by ireland

Sack the coach I say.

Puzzling one for me too.
Didn't show much conviction in our attack did it.

Biggar’s cost us twelve or fourteen points in the last three minutes.

Always amuses me me how some SW football supporters get all hot under the collar about rugby. If folk (of all shapes and sizes) want to have a day out in the big city, leave them to it.
More concerning is how both City and Swansea have both gone backwards the last few seasons,

It's not commitment, people watch city away because they want to, they enjoy the day out. Sat on a comfortable coach or whatever, drinking, eating, warm, having a laugh with mates etc. The poor bastards!

Yeah, let them crack on. The pubs do alright out of it, Taxi's, food places, hotels etc. It's not my thing, it's predominantly white and alcohol related, but if it adds to the economy then great.

Quite a bemusing comment considering that 93.8% of the Welsh population is white.

It’s grumpy old blokes with a chip on their shoulder because their Games teacher made them play rugby boohoo :(
It’s an excellent source of income for the city and it’s a form of entertainment and enjoyment for hundreds of thousands across the country. I certainly wouldn’t pay 80 quid for a ticket but I’m sure there’s plenty of people who would think spending 300 quid on a season ticket is a waste. (Starting to think they might be onto something….)

I'm weary of posters who have a dig at Sludge at every opportunity. It's simply not cricket, is it? He's a longtime member of this forum who has a massive post count. He deserves far more respect than he receives.
I hope he doesn't think I'm breaking a confidence by submitting this message. He's having a very difficult time mentally.
It's football concerns which weigh most heavily on his mind. He's become despairing. He confided that Saturday's result had almost sent him over the edge. Another defeat to nil proved difficult for him to bear. "I've just about had a titful of this," he whimpered.
He fears the 3-0 lamping at Wolves has put paid to any hopes Liverpool had of finishing the season in a Champions League spot.
