Really happy the nod that is being given to North Wales being the spiritual heart of Welsh football.
Bit mad that I have supported Wales and our clubs since I was first aware of it (first memories are 1978 WC and Toschack's hatrick versus Scotland, but I have only discovered in the last couple of years (into my 50th year but before the Hollywood takeover I'll add) the origins of it in Wales, the Nomads, Wrexham's role, etc
It helped explain the cultural divide between North and South. Really proud of North and West Wales - their role in keeping the Welsh language alive. Really happy the North gets this tournament and their first international game for a while. I remember as a teen being desperate for us the play big games at our 'lucky' Racecourse ground! Did not realise either than public schoolboys invented football (or at least its rules) and that Oxford University won the FA Cup twice! The UK has some amazing history in all spheres of life doesn't it!
What did England ever give to Wales? Well rugby and football for starters (tongue in cheek before I get attacked!)

Look forward to this. Plenty of time to get the new stand despite our recent delays.

This should be really good. Hope they use it to tell the story of football in north Wales and the trains are good by 2026.
