Wales kick of times

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?
