St Illtyds lad here
We had no football allowed when we were in the old St Illtyds, down Splott, then for the first years up that poxy hole in St Mellons/Llanrumney.
We went on strike on sports day and for a few months, the Brothers made us sit in the hall doing other work.
They relented when we were in form 4 I think.
Not heard the second part yet but liked the suggestion in part one that rugby is an "event" and football more of a "process."
Certainly the figures for participation and watching clearly suggest that football is by far the more popular sport, with only the handful of rugby internationals capturing the nations imagination.
Sadly too many of our international egg-chasing cousins spend the rest of the year supporting Man. U., Liverpool, Spurs, etc.
Well we can see who is the main sport on Saturday. Will people watch the All Blacks game in the morning. Or the Footy in afternoon.
Things haven't changed that much at some schools.
My lad goes to a Welsh Lang school and they got through to the semi-final of the county football Cup. Not one PE teacher came to the game, even though they were available and a science teacher took the team. They didn't have a kit, so just had to grab a load of different tops that were the same colour.
Anyway they went onto win the cup and the school weren't really that bothered.
