Listening to a podcast earlier and apparently if Wrexham reach the National League playoff final it might be on the same day as the Wales playoff final, leaving Wrexham fans with a difficult choice.
Wouldn't happen to us obviously but if it did what would you do?
I'd go Wales
City every time, even though i don't particularly like the club that much at the moment.Quote:

Wales. The playoff could see us at our first World Cup in over 60 years!
City
It’s a choice that shouldn’t have to be made
City
City, no brainer
there's always oneQuote:

Bluebirds every time. ( unless it was Haverfordwest or Barrow)
Cardiff City
Would go to the Wales game
City. Every time.Quote:

Up until 2016 it wouldn’t have been a choice at all but since then Wales (and the FAW to be fair) have hardly put a foot wrong where as we’ve been hard to watch.
In most occasions it’d still be city but I can’t think of a city game I’d have chosen to attend ahead of Slovakia or Belgium in France
See us in a play off to get to the PL or Wales in a final qualifier for the world cup?
Wales this time.
City always
Up to about 10 years ago, City without a second thought.
Now, Wales.
City 100% Not least because I would know I wouldnt be missing out on an amazing day out etc.
The people I feel for are those with moderately important weddings on that day - ie, a second cousin, your dads aunt, your mate from uni you havent spoken to in 10 years who is getting married in Loughborough etc etc etc
My good friend who lives in Dublin had booked all his flights to and from there to Poland, Cardiff and Amsterdam for all the June games. Rearranged he can make none of them fit with watching any game. All he is left with is rebooking for the play off and chucking the rest in the bin!
On the original question, it's Wales for me.
I'd have two tellies and watch both games simulaneously.
But which one would have the sound up? :sherlock:Quote:

Wales for me.
Personally the euros (both) were better than our premier league seasons. By quite a distance. The Premier league seasons were boring really (although we were awful both times) but the euros were brilliant.
However Wrexham are a really exciting club at the moment and going places so harder for them to choose than city fans.
Not judging by the responses its not.Quote:

How is it easier for them to choose club over country? I was under the impression that the question was posed with the clubs being in the same situation i.e. us being in a play off final same day as a Wales play off final, not the current situation we’re in.Quote:

V Swansea a few weeks ago the only song sung loud was about fathers sexually abusing 10 year old boys.
And don't even start about on the pitch.....
For me it's wales every time.
Wales for the anthem, the City for the alternative Hymns ‘n’ Arias obviously :hide:Quote:

I also doubt thered be anything other than a terrible atmosphere either if were one nil down within minutes.
It just shows how fickle football fans are.
True, we were all there in the 5,000 (around about that, wasn’t it?) against Azerbaijan rattling around at the Millennium Stadium when the last golden generation were in its dying embers………… or rather weren’t all there:-)Quote:

Last minute decision. If Bale joins Ramsey on the injury list then watch Wrexham as Wales will probably lose.
Club everytime.
Wales for me.
