Reading a lot of shit in the Australian press here about the "England & Russian fans' in Marseilles, but very low column inches about Wales and Slovaks fans in Bordeaux.
I'm interested to know, how was the match day experience in Bordeaux? How did the French locals receive the Welsh? how where the Slovak fans? |  | | |  |

The whole day was excellent. Went to the fanzone where Welsh and and Slovakians were mixing fine. Some Austrians and Spanish there too for their games over the next few days. Didn't see any problems with the locals at all and even walked past a few bars with bluebird and jack flags hanging up next to each other. Great to see pretty much all the Wales support wearing red too, looked very impressive in the ground.
Also loved seeing the police filming us coming out of the ground. Not for evidence or surveillance but on their mobiles because of the noise we were making. Really enjoyable day and can only hope the next two will be as good - can't see that somehow though sadly. [Post edited 12 Jun 2016 1:54]

I can add to this, the fanzone in Paris is such a great experience. The games today were fantastic to watch, ok overpriced beers, but who needs to get hammered on alcohol all the time. Many Swansea friends travelling north tomorrow, all of whom are talking about a wonderful time in the south with Cardiff fans especially. There has been a few and I mean a few comments between the Cardiff and Swansea supporters - and there was one potential flashpoint but all the other supporters in the bar told them to shut up, the real fans outnumbering the few fools.
That's how it should be. |  |

My son & I are in Bordeaux and having a BLAST!!
Bloody brilliant in every respect, Welsh, Slovaks, locals all getting on like a house on fire.
Brilliant to see & (thanfully) in stark contrast to events in Marseille.
I just hope we don't get dragged down into behaving like knuckleheads in the next 2 games. |  | | |

Funny I notice the police very relaxed and one whistling to a Wales song, loads of families sitting on the grass, staff and security filming Welsh fans on their phone.
Calon lan was superb.
A German Euro official said the stadium was shaking when we scored the second.
Anyone at castle gardens back home what was it like |  | | |

The experience in Bordeaux has been everything I hoped it would be in following Wales at a major finals.
A real togetherstronger atmosphere. I saw one Swans shirt and one Cardiff shirt only at the match. Loads of flags with Jacks/Bluebirds hung side by side.
Thousands drinking outside the bars. Singing from every bar. Locals, Slovakians mixing freely. Lots of group photos. Masses of beer. A sea of red everywhere.
100% positive experience.
And then I see what's going on a few hundred kilometres from us it's hard to believe I'm in the same country.
Bucket list experience. Ticked that top of the list box. |  |

Fabulous scenes. The Welsh fans out in France are a real credit to our country and the UK as a whole. I hope that it carries on ad infinitum for every future Wales fixture, home or away.
Keep it up lads and lasses ! |  |

Slovakian fans were brilliant, even formed a little guard of honour as we were leaving the stadium, clapping and shaking welsh fans hands.
Great atmosphere inside and outside the ground.
French police were friendly towards both sets of supporters, all mixing and having a good time......just how football should be.
I'm going to the Russia game, but after seeing their fans recently I'm not too sure if I'm doing the right thing! |  |

Russia and their fans are untouchable and they know it.
What, FIFA take the World Cup away from them? UEFA kick them out of Euros? Not happening whatsoever. |  |

Of course they are untouchable but they have balls or brass neck because there is shortly to be a World Cup there
Like Serbia and many other east block they are created a on a grand scale.
Absolute filth of a race of people and their history of blood letting is a pointer of why they should be shunned at any price
Sad thst the USSR broke up as these chunts were kept behind a wall of steel .
Both they and England should be thrown out .
They wont | |

I was in Castle Gardens yesterday. The big screen stopped working just before Bale scored. Nobody knew the timescale of when it would be fixed. Watched the first half in Yates and the second half back in Castle Gardens.
Good atmosphere by the Welsh fans. Police didnt mind us drinking. Had a good time. [Post edited 12 Jun 2016 16:56]
