Haven't missed it, have grown not to like it, its a distraction we don't need, ok Euros in France were a bit of fun but overall if they cancelled everything I would be happy. I see the seasons bad start as one of the factors for being so shit. and clement, but I had faith when all around didn't. That aside international football is a burden Eric.
Too many missed Saturday's at the start, and by fck they are on the horizon again.

I only managed to get to the game in paris for euro 16 and, after a nightmare journey it was still probably my best football experience.

Does it have to be a choice?

My main thing is international football as everybody knows. It's a big part of me. There's no money involved and I think it's great.

When we beat Huddersfield in October I was very low after the ROI defeat, and I didn't take much pleasure from that Swansea win tbh.


Did you seriously just say there's no money involved in international football? Fifa made $15bn off the last World Cup http://uk.businessinsider.com/fifa-brazil-world-cup-revenue-2015-3. And the corruption is hardly a secret..

Nothing wrong with liking international footie more, but it's certainly not a paragon of financial virtue.

Indeed we do differ, as do many, many others. Some will agree, some won't.

My main problem is that i cannot bring myself to be in the company of ccfc fans at a football match. Mix that with alcohol, and it doesn't end well. I am that bitter and twisted about them. Away from football and i've no problem with them at all. I have no problem with their city, in fact, it's slowly becoming a fantastic place. They still have terrible accents mind.


Very conspicious by their low profiles in France.

As in for the players, there's no transfers etc, they are motivated by the shirt.

The Welsh in Paris could have filled the ground twice. Everywhere.
They think taking 20,000 over for the rugby is good, but there were 5 times as many.

For a bit of balance, the rugby team plays there every other year.

The Euro's was a once in a lifetime occasion.

I want a mate like Flashberryjacks, who wears a Barnsley jersey with "Swans are my second team" on the back.

Yes, would be boring playing the same teams every year. I guess that's why the turnout is poor.

Does it matter how many go to a Wales game, be it football or rugby? Same goes for numbers attending Swans games, whats the fascination with it, genuine question? Those lot up the road are obsessed with attendances as well. Weird.

For me, there is something special about watching the national team. A collective spirit of national pride or something.

I enjoy club and international football and if I had to choose between the 2 it would be the Wales, if I am being honest I feel a little bit of a disconnect with Swansea City after all that’s gone on. That’s said, I can’t see why people can’t get equal pleasure from both. I also enjoyed rugby, and for me it’s Club before country in that sport.

Went away to watch Wales in the 80s and 90’s and the inter club animosity did my head in with Welsh fans constantly looking for bother between each other. On 1 trip to Belgium it got so bad we left the place we were staying and went off to another town for a few days leaving the hotel we’d paid for.

Was out in France for the last bit of the group stages of the Euros, we stayed at a camp site outside Toulouse where there were quite a few other Welsh fans. Lots of Cardiff there, most of them were really tidy and we got on ok, but there were a few older jerks giving it large. They guessed/knew we were Swansea but left us be,maybe because we had kids with us. We didn’t advertise any club allegiance because of the jerks and the fact they were drinking copious amounts of cheep booze which made them a tad unpredictable.

I would love the chance to travel to watch more away games with Wales, but that’s not an option at the moment.

Good and bad everywhere, like you said, many decent bluebirds out there and plenty who just went that don’t really follow football for that once in a lifetime gig.
