| 18.00 KO? |
Oh how I’ve
loved watching the Welsh football team over the years. How can I forget the games at y Cae Ras
which kicked off at 15.00 remember Russia - or Spain with the best live goal I’ve
ever seen the - Sparky scissor kick which kicked off at 19.30. A few pints went down well after the match in
Coedpoeth or the Moors at that very dangerous junction. I even enjoyed the trip down to the capital
for a 15.00 or a midweek 19.30 ko, or recently 19.45, but, and it’s a big but:
why in anybody’s name does the recently arranged November friendly against Finland
have to be played at Cardiff - and why the 18.00 ko?
To be honest, bugging
me more than the ko time is why Finland?
Due to a serious lack of interest in the Welsh international team, results,
locality and Cardiff and Swansea doing well, we need to generate interest not
lose it. I suppose - well I know I haven’t
got any facts, but have we tried to get Spain or France. They cost too much is usually the
answer. Surely they won’t make any money
on the Finnish match, therefore, why not pay these countries the going rate to
put bums on seats, and speculate to accumulate!!! Also the burning issue here amongst North
Walians, is why not play at Wrexham or even Bangor. I’ve seen some comments on twitter this week
regarding gates at Wrexham for internationals, that they’d be better etc - but
we didn’t usually sell out like some claim, ok some games where extortionately
priced a few years ago, but can someone from the FAW come out and explain the
reason for not playing up North
To make
matters worse oh yes, they’ve decided to give us the u21 matches at Bangor - three
in a row I say, but what about the ko times here - 14.00 for the matches against Lithuania and San Marino, the same day as the
full side. 14.00 why? Do they want people to turn up? Can someone please explain, are these Uefa - Fifa
rules? Crazy absolute crazy, why not
16.00 to get the kids in. I know that a certain
football club in that area has 300 complimentary tickets to give away; well,
how many many schools will take them? Also
if they are comps, it again begs the question, will the FAW make any money on
the two games? Anyway us from the North
need answers, can someone enlighten me?
