After spending the afternoon at MSCAP I can't agree. I go to the game to watch the rugby,the atmosphere used to be important but now it's more of an embarresment than anything else. I remember when we had one of the most knowledgable group of supporters in the game. These days the crowd do not have a real interest in the game (horns, waves, getting pissed and trying to pull are all higher up the list than the game itself) -- Gwlad

In reply to: Shakey 's message, "Apart from a few yellow jerseys, all I could see at Twickenham when the crowd was shown was rows and rows of grey, grey and more grey. OK there was the occasional cross of St. George but that was it. Even with a half empty stadium, there was still more passion at CAP then there was at HQ. English rugby may currently be doing well, but without the underlying passion for the game it may well be a false economy." on 21:24:12 11/17/02 Sun

I used to love taking Australian/Kiwi/English friends to the CAP. These days, with the attitude of the majority of Welsh "Fans" I would be too embarressed.
