Im based down in the bay , which hotel you guys staying in? i normally head up to central station for the short journey (20mins) to bridgend , you can see the ground from the station , 5 min walk.

if you're boys fancy a drink before hand I normally in the 'Bute Dock Hotel' pub or the Packet in the bay or the City Arms/ gatekeeper opposite the Millennium Stadium in town.

bridgend got some decent pubs but wouldnt recommend it greatly for the night life.

And how would you go about doing that? I'd love to find out this new 1970's mode that watches have.

And what up to date and brilliant place do you live in?

Called anybody racist with no proof lately?


Nope, but I have recommended one of my players into Clive Griffiths' Wales Students Squad. I live in Exeter, thaks for asking... like Cardiff, a thoroughly modern city which beautifully blends its history and tradition into an exciting and invigorating contemporary environment.

Tell you what, why not establish a professional rugby club in Cardiff, a city the Welsh call its capital and can justly be proud of... and have them play in a modern stadium, like Exeter Chiefs... or Leigh and Widnes?
