Great post and always happy to be corrected

When I lived in Ozz they rebrand a lot of the clubs names removing the country’s they were associated with and changing the club badge removing flags ect. It was to try and make it more main stream and attract fans from other ethnic groups if memory serves me well . This was probably nearly 30 years ago now but would imagine the clubs still have strong links to various countries

Still think it is a good world if you take the politics out of it no trouble out there and all fans mixing easy to do a couple of games a day very well organised and the grounds and metro we’re stunning just gutted to have missed a golden chance to go all the way next stop Naples in March

Christmas around the corner

Absolutely none … one England fan I term the word loosely who was interviewed this morning was a yank a lot of ex pats living over there are doing the games which makes sense if it so close to where you live

Just a short break over there great grounds and very very well organised every one very helpful Good to see so many fans from different countries in one area due to size and no trouble (£12 a pint) properly stops that going for a drink is easy but takes some planning IE booking a time slot then going through a mini security check to get into places very good wales support over there who just seemed happy to be there after not doing so for so long you do get a bit of stick being from Bristol but all good natured could have quite happy stayed longer and if money was not a problem a very good world cup great place but just some medieval rules on various things but that goes into another topic the tube system ,shopping malls ect .. mind blowing don’t believe every thing you read in the paper and on tv ……

Good read from someone who went

Rule 1 qualify for World Cup TICK Rule 2 get out of group top spot if possible TICK after that with a little luck anything can happen sit back and enjoy the ride

Just come out the shop not brilliant I think you will get more choices at Whitchurch car boot on Saturday

Impressive Welsh support

I didn’t think you were interested in the World Cup and South Gate a poor manager? you will be painting your face Friday night I reckon

Fingers crossed

From a football perspective this could be a good World Cup plus the first time Wales qualify and most cant go ….

A lot of the footage was from the chap that went with a film camera and also noticed some of the footage was new as some of the lads sat at bars and asleep in door ways had copies of the original shirts on

Iv worked on shop refits that they can do overnight so yes a few trolleys on wheels is hardly building the pyramids

Who ever can justify a shirt that sells in a couple of weeks at the start of the season and then no more to be available needs sacking …..

They will say it clashed with the England game for there low attendance

Popping over so might message you is all the hype about drink prices true ?

Nobody forces you to watch it ………

Well he has got to a semi final and final in the last two major tournaments

Hi buddy heading out for the Wales game will be looking for somewhere to spend the day leading up to the game . We have red some hotels are letting day visitors in for a fee to use the pool get food ect. If you see any can you let me know please many thanks stick

Totally agree get this weekend out the way and then suddenly all the focus will be on the World Cup .I know a lot of regulars that are not going and the rest just doing the group games because of the cost . Tickets for the group games start at £50 but rise sharply once the knockout games start . Going for the Wales game and that’s it but keeping a open mind on what it’s going to be like and take no notice of all the crap in the papers about £80 a pint ect

10 k if we’re lucky

Totally agree IF we get of to a good start the buzz soon comes back

Easy jet have some good time slots if getting time off is a issue. But prices are starting to creep up . Just a quick heads up to anyone thinking of going
