    Without any question. From 3-13 down against a formidable England side who were nailed on for grand slam according to anyone you could find with a view on it. Fantastic performance and a genuine seed of hope!

    I was invited down there by a client last night and I dont think Ive met a more jumped up bunch of self important stewards than those on duty last night. I thought the CCS was bad but they were different level last night. I was there 2 hours before kick off and still took me 30 minutes for them to let me park and get my accreditation, or to us lesser a folk a wristband.

    It was a very decent crowd, but clearly not "full". It holds over 12,000, I think the attendance was 8,000. You'll always know if it's full, spectators will crowd behind the posts at each end.

    Fair point. Still, a decent crowd.

    Arms Park has probably had some bigger crowds than at the CCS recently.

    Think the Blues (or whatever theyre called these days) have been selling out games quite a lot the past few seasons.

    They've played 8 matches at home this season. Apart from v Ospreys they've averaged around 7000. That will include a couple of thousand hospitality/frees.

    Abi Tierney seems like a bonkers appointment for Chief Executive.

    Sold out a few games last year and a few games the season before. Some of our midweek games this season are probably close to 12k.

    So a side playing our supposed "national" game in its top division and playing the best sides in Europe might be getting closer than normal in terms of crowds to a side who has been struggling towards the bottom of its second tier for a few years.

    Nothing to see here.

    The rugby team just sold out the Millennium Stadium despite not winning a game since 2023 and with tickets selling for 100+ quid.

    The football team is yet to sell out our World Cup Qualifier next weekend with tickets 1/3rd of the price.

    The word ‘Mugs’ springs to mind or maybe ‘sheep’.

    Re: Rugby.

    I just don't get egg fans. If Cardiff were losing 8-1 and we scored to make it 8-2 I'd doubt I'd even clap.

    Wales score a try after Engand had already scored 8 (I think it was 8 as I'd lost count) and the camera shows Wales supporters jumping around celebrating like they've won the World Cup. I know they are pissed up and have no real idea about what's going on but why do egg fans still celebrate like crazy tries when the game is lost and in this case utterly humiliated.

    I doubt even another 2 tries stopped their enjoyment.

    I think a lot of the celebrations you witness are prompted by seeing themselves on the giant screen.

    Or maybe it could just be Welsh folk who want to have a day on the lash and get behind their team whether they are playing well or playing shite.

    Its a great day out . Haven't got a clue about the rules , when I do go I enjoy it.
    The fire shooting out the burners is brilliant.
    Taking 4 pints back to your seat also decent.......
