Re: Attendance for the jacks game
Won’t be any trouble at the ground or in Cardiff
More likely to be a few scraps Aberdare way etc where people are in the pub all day on both sides
Atmosphere should be good, only time it is ever half decent down there nowadays is when it’s a pissed up crowd

Backed up by the fact , pubs like the Vaults charge inflated event prices in plastic glasses
FFS, you cannot have “plastic glass”, it’s a plastic receptacle

But that's it
So called rugby fans in Wales are big event fans to a far greater extent than football fans
Most of them wouldn't even know who Cardiff , Ospreys , Scarlets etc are playing most Saturdays never mind go and watch them
If Cardiff .....the side representing the capital city of a country that is supposedly mad on rugby .....get a crowd of 8000 it's a good gate
All sports fans love the big games but Welsh rugby fans are right up there for turning up a few times a season then vanishing
It's one of the reasons Welsh club rugby is in such a financial mess .
It's in the Winter mostly when there is nothing much to do in the Valley, it's fair enough that they can enjoy a massive piss-up in the City, but most of them don't really watch and go to be part of a big event and get smashed off their face and throw their chip paper in Caroline Street.

Jonny sums it up in this

about 2.30 mins in ( I guess we have all seen it anyway ) it describes it as a " event " and he is right

It's the rugby world cup, that's enough. Doesn't matter who they are playing.
I'm sure pubs were full when England played Panama in 2018 in the football world cup (an easy comparison I can think of).

Re: Attendance for the jacks game
Rugby can be a fantastic game to watch at international level
And the world cup must be great for lovers of the game
But a lot of people who say they love rugby are just a few times a season piss artists
In Wales this is particularly so
Where are all these people when there isn't a Welsh international game ?
Apart from supporting Liverpool

Re: Attendance for the jacks game
198 tickets left in the main bowl, presumably the top tier will be going on sale tomorrow, otherwise it appears the club really are trying to see if they can not have to pay for the extra stewards up there.
They could sell the stadium out with a big push this week, offer season ticket holders half price tickets and they'd be gone in a couple of days.

Re: Attendance for the jacks game
Left hand side of red stand opened and on sale

Re: Attendance for the jacks game
Club tweeted 25k sold, presumably doesn't include the away end

Probably does as old bowl capacity was 27,000 I think and 2000 seats are used for segregation. 6000 seats in the red zone so if they all sold we can only get 31,000

Re: Attendance for the jacks game
Top tier seems to be selling pretty well, hopefully a hefty walk up to pack the place out as much as possible.

Main bowl's 28k, red stand is 5k
I've seen a few people saying Swansea haven't sold out their allocation yet :yikes: :sherlock:

No surprise given they aren't even allowed to bring drink or even food on to the bus. They have to do a 12 hour fast or so- or pay the ridiculous prices for the awful food at the stadium.
Obvious jokes and banter around swansea aside that's ridiculous conditions and we should stand by them as we will have the same and worse.
