Gazza D Posted May 24, 2021 Author Share Posted May 24, 2021 Disappointing but I sent back my group game tickets as it seemed like it was going to be a nightmare getting to Italy, let alone Azerbaijan. I also have had the follow my team knockout tickets refunded. Has anyone kept their group game tickets? If yes, how are you planning on getting to the games? I'm looking forward to the Tiki Taka styling of Robert Page, and hoping we can sneak out the group. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Confused Clarity Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 I didn't end up applying for tickets anyway as I didnt fancy going to either of those locations. Azerbaijan just seemed like a nightmare to sort travel and Italy is just not a place I have any desire to visit. Looking forward to seeing how we do though.

Rob1981 Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Massive soft spot for Rob Page after his time at Chesterfield but it looks like a huge ask to get out of the group here. Italy look really strong, Swiss always stubborn and do enough to make the R16 without looking great, Turkey seem decent. Is it true that Giggs is still going to be in phone contact? I was listening to a Wales preview earlier that was talking about him not having a line to the players directly but still advising Page on tactics etc. But sounded like it was recorded around the time of the March WC qualifiers.

I think that was how they were approaching it before the actual charges. How much it was actually used, as @Gazza D says, i'm not really all that sure. For the Euros, they've pretty much said Page is the manager for the tournament, which is different to what they were saying before. They clearly want Giggs to go and I suspect, even if he's found not guilty they'll jointly announce they feel it better he concentrates on his personal life. They've very much handled it as professionally as they can without potentially prejudicing any of the legal proceedings. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MavReck Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Unfortunately, like Gazza, we lost all our tickets we had. But very excited for the Euros. Big Kieffer to show Europe why he is the best target man in the world Regardless of what happens I hope Rob Page is given a chance to get the role full time.

swansongs Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Kieffer Moore has to start. Can understand resting him in the warmups but we've looked pretty toothless without him up top. Wouldn't have qualified without him that's for sure. Leave him out against the Italians and go 5 at the back but for the other two games we have to try to win. Out strongest 11 is pretty good on paper and they might actually all be fit for once. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tikka Mezzala Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Really nice to see how much Wales' 2016 campaign meant to Welsh people. I'd love for Scotland to have a campaign like that. The fondest memories I have of Scotland were back in 2008 when we narrowly lost to Italy (cheating bastards) in the Euros qualifiers. Before the game, the whole country was buzzing. We felt we could do it, but just fell short. That campaign saw us beat France twice, with McFadden scoring the famous goal in Paris. It's just a shame that there won't be more Welsh and Scottish fans at the games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza D Posted June 12, 2021 Author Share Posted June 12, 2021 Would have taken a point before the game, but I'm a bit worried how we just couldn't keep the ball, invited a lot of needless pressure towards the end. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
