ChippenhamRed Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 Can't understand why they don't host massive games like this at the Millennium. It would have sold out for a game as big as this. Fans miss out on tickets and the Welsh FA miss out on money. Odd one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Team In Keynsham Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 Is there a scenario of results that means that the 2nd place in this group fails to make the play-offs? Come on [insert one or more European countries here]! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think CCS has become a bit of a fortress for them so I understand it to a point. But I'm still surprised to see a massive game being played in a 35k stadium with a 70k stadium sitting empty a few miles down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leveller Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 Ireland have to win don't they? Presumably not playing for a draw - but only Wales seem to be trying to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But with the smaller ground you do get a much more intense atmosphere. Which should help the players. Saying that I'm basing that on England. With the atmosphere at Wembley being probably the worst in football. When Wembley was being rebuilt and England played around the country. The atmospheres were much better.

Sorry to go off topic Yeah I do appreciate the counter argument and there's no doubting the atmosphere at CCS is incredible. It also disproves the theory that modern stadia make for crap atmospheres. But having said that, the Millennium is more intimate than Wembley and capable of generating phenomenal atmospheres too! Looking on twitter a lot of the Wales supporters seem to have a bit of a superfan view about it - "if you didn't come when we were crap why should you come now". Never really liked that mentality. I would always rather see my team welcome more support, rather than behaving like some sort of exclusive club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
