Anyway if they wanted trouble better off coming to a different game to the jack's as can't remember the last time there was a trouble at the match or around the grounds?

Strange no one mentions the cricket which has one man and it's dog at traditional 4 day club games but noone goes on about the masses that turn up for one day games or England matches and spend their time on the lash

I like all three sports and have been to big and small games in all three formats but if the city are on then this takes precedence. That's my choice doesn't make it right or wrong but it does annoy me when this board throws out generalities of who goes to what game and what their intentions are
The difference is that with regard to rugby it's a few games a season

People talk about watching .....the rugby .....did you see the rugby etc etc ......and they either watch it at home , go to the game or go into Cardiff to watch it

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 .
