What a tremendous following considering the distance, give yourselves a big pat on the back if you went
Not sure on the official attendance, but I very much doubt the 2 guys at gate next to the turnstiles were doing a head-count when letting in
Anyways...
Speaking to a Welsh guy, he told me we were lucky to see as many Celtic fans as we did, and that if Wales Rugby Union had been playing we'd of had "the ground to ourselves", which is a little dissapointing to hear, but not totally unexpected.
Cheers to Wolfie for putting on a great trip, but I must say it'l be nice to have Neil behind the wheel again soon!! At least I can now say Ive been over the Severn Bridge, and to Burton on Trent

It is a good job we'll make sure we aren't playing at home when the Welsh International Union Team are then isn't it.
He couldn't have meant club union games as one was going on in Llanelli and that wasn't too damaging.

I'd probably say the same.
Do you think if Hull City had a 75,000 seater stadium. Played Man United and filled it on the same day you were playing it wouldn't effect you lot.
Because our main aim is to enlighten the union lot it would be very much like GB playing Australia at a 75,000 seater stadium just down the road when you're trying to get a crowd for some normal league game.
Cardiff City and Swansea City change their kick offs in accordance with the union internationals and they've been around years so we are far from untouchable on that front.
Encouraging start for us though and we appreciated what you brought down. Very good support.
