An experience. That's what you would have gained. |
.... and then stuck in the middle of nowhere after the game cos of the public transport issue. |  | | |

So they were expecting more people to drive to an international football match than a Wales - England rugby match? |
No, but parking is one of UEFA's criteria to award stadiums as category A, the lack of this is why it hasn't and will never host the Champions League Final, and obviously now the Euro's. | | | |

I expect it would be a far better experience to pop over to Munich or the like for one of the games being held there. Another plus being not surrounded by a load of happy clapping scummers whispering about accents. |  |

Heard on good authority that they were scrutinised on ticket sales for this Euro campaign.
With tickets only going on general sale 3 weeks before a game it's hardly surprising that Uefa looked and thought there's no way that the FAW are ready for it. |  |

It is a huge shame.
Apparently of the 19 bids, four countries didn't make it to the voting stage as they didn't meet the requirements.. so only Cardiff and Sweden lost out really.
Cardiff had 21 votes and Glasgow with an outdated Hampden that UEFA called 'inadequate' had 22 votes. Apparently the Scottish UEFA executive that died had an impact on some of the voters. Shocking if you ask me.
I agree with Steven Carroll though... why are many countries that host international tournaments regularly been awarded again. For the final and semis fair enough but to have group games in Rome, Bilbao, Amsterdam and Munich is a joke. |
Yep, this would have been a good opportunity to hold all the group games in countries that will never be able to hold a tournament. |  |

Less money pumped into the Cardiff economy is never a bad thing. |  |
| Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back. |

I do agree. The tickets should have been on sale no later than April in my opinion. They knew they were going to play at the CCS, the ticket prices and the fixtures came out on 23/02. Why it took 6 months for ticket details is anybody's guess.
However I doubt what you are saying to be true.
UEFA conduct all the general ticket sales for EURO tournaments through their website on a ballot like with the Champions League final and Super Cup tickets, the only other way to get hold of tickets is through corporate sponsors and from the football clubs/associations involved in the game taking place.

I doubt you are German and live in Germany though.
To be holding it in our country were I was born would have had it very special to have gone to.
Never heard any whispering about accents at any Wales game myself personally. | | | |

My source is a FAW Councillor. He reckons his colleagues there are more than happy to take Sky's money and are not bothered if 10 or 30 thousand turn up. His words.

Uefa likely to have looked at the overall incompetence of the FAW | |

Yeah I always said the FAW aren't too fussed about the ticket money as sky give them enough, it's a big shame though they should be trying to get as many people there as possible. | | | |

Prestigious games are always good for the local economy.
Be nice if Swansea had a stadium of that capacity | |
