Re: Rugby.

So a side playing our supposed "national" game in its top division and playing the best sides in Europe might be getting closer than normal in terms of crowds to a side who has been struggling towards the bottom of its second tier for a few years.

Nothing to see here.

The rugby team just sold out the Millennium Stadium despite not winning a game since 2023 and with tickets selling for 100+ quid.

The football team is yet to sell out our World Cup Qualifier next weekend with tickets 1/3rd of the price.

The word ‘Mugs’ springs to mind or maybe ‘sheep’.

Re: Rugby.

I just don't get egg fans. If Cardiff were losing 8-1 and we scored to make it 8-2 I'd doubt I'd even clap.

Wales score a try after Engand had already scored 8 (I think it was 8 as I'd lost count) and the camera shows Wales supporters jumping around celebrating like they've won the World Cup. I know they are pissed up and have no real idea about what's going on but why do egg fans still celebrate like crazy tries when the game is lost and in this case utterly humiliated.

I doubt even another 2 tries stopped their enjoyment.

I think a lot of the celebrations you witness are prompted by seeing themselves on the giant screen.

Plus the fact that very few genuine rugby fans attend this event, it’s people on a jolly who have been on the lash since the pubs opened

I take City fans are all church goers ?

Or maybe it could just be Welsh folk who want to have a day on the lash and get behind their team whether they are playing well or playing shite.

Its a great day out . Haven't got a clue about the rules , when I do go I enjoy it.
The fire shooting out the burners is brilliant.
Taking 4 pints back to your seat also decent.......

The Church is in Llanishen, I doubt we would all fit in there, although from memory they have a beer garden.

I’ve seen fights after the rugby, people spewing in the streets, pissing in shop doorways, climbing lamp posts and middle aged blokes walking around abusing women.

Don’t worry though it’s only high jinks

If happened at football there would be banning orders galore

If we get relegated, next seasons attendance would fit in the Church in Llanishen 👍
