Enjoyed the event. We seemed to be in a part of the ground where there were more French fans than most. They were mostly young and it provided a lively atmosphere. Don't know whether it was this but there was far less too and fro for beer than the previous game I attended against Italy about four years ago. Still there were a number of fans around us who seemed perfectly sensible pre match who were talking absolute drivel by its end from the beers they consumed.
Might be biased and a consequence of the empty seats but the anthem was not a patch on how it has been at recent games at the Cardiff City Stadium. Delayed a bit on the walkway along the Taff at the end as a poor guy was being given CPR. It looked a futile cause but hopefully they brought him back.
