    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...
    You seem to be taking this personally, do you work for the ECB or Welsh Fire . 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.

    I'm taking it personally? You replied to a six day old message. What am I taking personally? I just think your point about Welshness would please fans isn't a great one when the team with more Welsh players get a lower crowd.
    The Welshness of the cricket players doesn't seem to matter to many people as it does to you.

    Maybe it is the biggest crowd for two domestic teams then. Maybe it isn't. What I do know is that it is a bigger crowd than have watched Glamorgan for many a year.

    Those facts don't change however many people grumble.
