What happened to the “we can’t host international matches” stuff? Was that a myth?

In other words, a training exercise.

All freindly games are a training exercise, surely?

I can’t wait to see Wales playing at their true home. It’s going to be great.

Excuses from the other end, throwing one obstical after another in the way. Also a previous manager not wanting to go against the status quo, not wanting to play friendlies which has put the national team in a bit of mess.

More likely, Wrexham doesn't have fine dinning or plush hotels as Cardiff does.

Tickets aren't going to be sold via the club according to dragon soccer. Only way to get them is through having FAW membership, through a local club or school participating in the kickback schene or hoping they go on general sale.

Tickets being sold by FAW not Wrexham FC. Wonder if they’ll give priority to Wales tournament ticket holders - of which there are about 13,000 I believe.

You’d expect them to get first dibs. But the attendance in the friendly against Panama was about 8,000 and not four days before a qualifier. I’d expect a general sale although that might be a bit of a bunfight.

Yeah you’d expect a lot of South Wales based fans not to bother with the Cardiff game on the Sunday.

You'll get a few thousand loyalists travelling up and the rest will be made up of North Welsh fans who usually travel down for the competitive home games such as myself. It'll go to campaign ticket holders first and then to gold members. I can't see it going on general sale beyond that.

There's 14500 campaign ticket holders at least and over 20000 members.
