You say the team is bad, fair enough. Adding glamorgan players who are struggling in lesser competitions isn't the answer though. As much as it would put a few thousand on the gate once they heard they were Welsh...
. All I’m saying is that the claim that it was the biggest everWelsh crowd never sounded right to me - that’s not say it wasn’t an impressive attendance and there was another one yesterday, but there weren’t 20,000 at either game and when you see how much football crowds went up in the immediate post war years, I’d say there’s a good chance bigger crowds watched Glamorgan as they closed in on the Championship in 1947.
