Trent is no great loss...aeroplane runaway strip. They have obiviously been compensated by the Twenty20 World Cup hosted there.

Taking Trafford away is a crime..

 

[Durham Fox]

Awful decision, first test not at Lords either

All going nicely to plan in the Principality.:icon_bigg

Why not, when a Welsh club is involved?

I'll translate Abide With Me for them..............

The same reason the British Lions Rugby Team have the 'British' National Anthem played before every game.

why is it even a problem if it is played?

 

[Hazzman]

why is it even a problem if it is played?

Because it's the English FA Cup and if a Welsh team gets to the occasion, The British National Anthem is good enough. As it's been for a Welshmen at the Olympics, playing for the British Lions, representing the English Cricket Team, representing the GB Rugby League team.

what harm will it do?

 

[Melton Fox]

what harm will it do?

How many English teams have ever played in the FA Cup Final?

The English teams have to suffer the British National Anthem, why shouldn't the Welsh. We don't get our own song, why should the Welsh?

 

[Hazzman]

what harm will it do?

Feck all but it's a case of principles and traditions. If the Welsh want to operate in our leagues, do it as representive of English football. Cardiff City's real impact on Welsh football is naff all - all they are doing is support our association. It's the bloody English FA Cup final.

Aye but it's only spin friendly pitch in England.

Aye but it's only spin friendly pitch in England.

But seeing as we don't have a world class spinner why use it against the aussies (I know their spin options are also much reduced now).
