It was very low key but I must say that everyone- officials, spectators, people servng etc were incredibly friendly and welcoming. My favourite moment was where we got served our coffee before the President of the Welsh F A even though he had ordered it first and the server whispered to me ' At least you're paying for it '

That would be Peter Rees - he's the one that gave us bibs so we could take pics at an U19 game. And he offered us to help ourselves to programmes and teamsheets (shame I'd just bought a couple of programmes Laughing)
He seems a really nice bloke, and I'm sure he wouldn't mind you getting served before him. If he knew you'd travelled so far, he'd have probably bought it for you Wink

One other plus point - I love the Welsh retro kit which looks just like the 1960's. Made by Kappa who also provided the luminous PINK photographers bibs. Did you get a similar fashion icon ?

Just got plain green bibs Sad

Knowing the state of Welsh finances - are you sure the kit wasn't actually old hand-me-downs from the 1960s? Laughing

Could be, the tannoy definitely was...cutting out every 5 seconds. Played havoc with the National Anthems!

When I went to see Wales v Estonia, they managed to play part of the Estonian national anthem during the (reasonably) recent songs played before the kick-off Very Happy

I suppose that was better than the other way around Laughing

At the Wales under 17 game at Cwmbran they made the girls do an unaccompanied version - to be fair they did a good job as did the Aussies !

They certainly seemed to - tho I must admit they could have been singing anything in Welsh and I wouldn't have been any the wiser!
