Should Wales play their next qualifyng campaign at the Principality Stadium? on 21:06 - Jul 7 by Jack_Kass
Games that will fill the PS up should be played there, like the England game qualifying game was 5 years ago. The rest should be played at alternative venues.
The game against the Irish will certainly pack it out, and should be played in the PS.
At the end of the day more money for the FAW should mean more money going into the grassroots, not that I trust them to actually do that, but the principle remains.
The thing is, how many of those 74,500 (80,000 ?) tickets would end up in Irish hands, same as the Scotland debacle at Anfield ?
I agree for maximising revenue but only if the team fancy it, Coleman saying today that they should stay at Cardiff Stadium.
My concern isn't the stadium so much - it's the pitch. When Wales last played internationals at the MS the pitch was shocking and didn't help Wales' new passing/possession style of football at all. I thought it was particularly bad during the Olympics. It may be better these days though (it's a hybrid isn't it?). And the atmosphere's fine if you've got a crowd of 80,000, but there were times when it looked pathetic. Personally I'd stay at the CCS, and forego the extra revenue. The players seem to enjoy playing at the CCS also and being a smaller ground seems to create a more intimidating atmosphere for the opposition.
