why there is a friendly this evening at CCS with a maximum capacity of 8,000 and a cricket match happening in the same city with a cap of 2,000 in capacity? Have I missed something.
Is Drakeford and his cronies actually talking to anybody? Is the guidance clear enough?
Is our club or Glamorgan CCC talking to the WAG?
Missed something in what sense?
I don't know, but would imagine it's a % of the capacity combined with the ability to maintain social distancing with the seat layout?Quote:

I could see that line of thinking if the Jacks didn't manage to set a capacity of 8,200 with a ground with a third less capacity than ours.Quote:

Also depends on what parts of the stadium each club has decided to open. I dont think tickets were on sale for the Grandstand, upper Ninian or the away end.Quote:

Would the cricket get 2k anyway?
Would we even get 8k for a friendly?

The cricket have sold out. I believe the crowd for the Hundred would have been well above that and possibly above what City would get in against Southampton.Quote:

On the subject of tickets - the tickets for Welsh Fire are only available via their app and include a Covid self-certification form. I'm not sure CCFC has ever used an app? It would be a great thing if they did and I'd be happy to ditch the season ticket for an e-ticket too. It would be a lot easier for the club to manage and they can update it on the fly.Quote:

I've got to say, fab work with helping people sort their season ticket problems I've been reading about - It's a really kind thing to do and very public-spirited. All adds to a sense of community. Massive :thumbup:
Yes, they sold out within a day. There were Gold, Silver, and Bronze. Gold went in hours and Silver not long after that (I think the Bronze tickets were right at the top of the Foster's Stand where you need oxygen). I think you're right about the crowd for The Hundred likely to have been bigger but the tickets were sold last year when things were much tighter.Quote:

“Can anybody explain” I thought it was referring to skateboarding at the Olympics ?
The participants had to jump on a stair rail and jump off at the end. I see it almost everyday at the local parks ?
I see people playing football at pontcanna fields on a Saturday, kicking the ball up and down, taking throw ins and corners and that. Can anybody explain why football is an Olympic sport?Quote:

The Olympic events are becoming totally poor.
About 3500 ? No one said it was sold out did they ?Quote:

My point is that to the untrained eye, a kick about on pontcanna fields will look the same as the world cup final. When it comes to skateboarding you have an untrained eye (as do I- that's not a criticism). There is a reason the kids at your skate park are not competing in the Olympics. Yes they are scored for style and that will be the difference. Some will be very good at it and go to the Olympics; others will not be and won't.Quote:
