Do they upgrade match tickets from child to adult? If so, do they just charge the difference in price? I can confirm that the ticket office on match day will be happy to upgrade you for the difference in price and re-issue you with a fully fledged Adult ticket ;-) |

I was very late receiving my membership card - only got it about a month or so ago. But got my match tickets for ROI last weekend so maybe they're sending out the tickets in reverse order to the membership packs. I'll probably be bottom of the pile again when I get my next tickets! I got both of mine early on.  Hmmm... interesting. There's clearly some favouritism going on with the FAW then! 🙄 I must have snuck myself into their good books somehow to get these tickets so early on this time round 😆 |

Which is it, anyone? Happy to let mine go for a nominal fee if someone wants it. Pint and postage. Tout  Maybe where you drink! It’s worth £20 but happy to let it go for half of that. Would love to know if other London based Taffs watch TV matches anywhere. Be nice to get us together. |

Kildare is not Dublin........................ I noticed that the Irish have another away fixture, five days after our game with them, in Poland. I assume OD will love that to bits, but am quite certain most of the Irish find Poland far sexier than Cardiff, and would probably opt for just the one match?
Have you been to Wroclaw before? Any good?
Bit late on this but Wrocław is a lovely city. Superb central square, up there with the main square in Kraków as a place to watch the world go by over a drink. Highly recommended a trip there. Poland has a lot of good places to visit and you can pick up some really cheap flights. I was lucky enough to live in Kraków and I've nothing but fond memories of my time there |

Obviously staggering the deliveries quite a bit. I was very late receiving my membership card - only got it about a month or so ago.

Nah, my membership pack didn't arrive for ages and I still haven't had my Ireland tickets. |

The track is superb and even if you not really a fan of motorsport, the Sparta Wroclaw fans are so brilliant insane that I'm not even sure that'd matter! |

Years ago the Famous Three Kings in Fulham used to show the Wales games. I'm sure that you can watch them at London Welsh as well. |

Thanks. Had heard something about the Welsh centre. Most logical place.

Andy King might feel a little aggrieved not making the bench at least.
I also feel Lee Evans and Ryan Hedges should be on that bench.

I like that team, if he does go 4 at the back I think Williams should be on the bench.
However, not sure Giggs will be brave enough.
.Also if we play with wide men we might need Vokes up front with Bale in a free role behind him and 2 wingers.

Welsh Centre doesn't have Sky so they only have the games when they are free to air, sadly. It's good fun when they are on though.

Quite exciting seeing the names in these line-ups. Good times ahead.

Its great that we can actually have a discussion about it, for so long the team picked itself. Its great to see a certain amount of depth in the squad now.

Some of the teams above look exciting, but in my opinion there's too much trying to fit all our best players into the team, rather than getting the most cohesive team. Most seem to be shifting Bale into the furthest forward, central position to make room for our emerging talents in wide forward positions. For me, Sam Vokes has to play because we can't ask out best player by a county mile to play in a position where he will be less effective. We should go with a front three of:
Bale - Vokes - and whoever's in best form from Lawrence, Wilson, Woodburn and Brooks

I don't think playing Vokes has ever given us a cohesive side - he's always looked like a square peg in a round hole. He doesn't run in behind so he doesn't create space for the better players in our side by stretching the defence and we don't put enough balls into the box to utilise his heading ability. If we're going to play passing football then he just doesn't fit in. Hal is a far better option if we don't want to play Bale no.9. |

They’re refunding tournament tickets? Someone PM the details of who to contact. I can’t make that one either. Unlike you to miss a home game  |

The main thing he offers is to occupy central defenders, giving those around him more room to operate in. I would prefer starting Vokes and using Bale where he's most effective, than playing Bale almost as a CF where he has been ineffective every time I've seen him play there for Madrid. It would be criminal to nullify the threat of our best player |

Last time I went to the Welsh Centre, they didn't have Sky Sports but I'm talking a couple of years ago. You can get a pint of Wrexham Lager at the Welsh Centre mind you. |

Hennessey Gunter Williams/Mepham Chester Davies Ampadu Allen Brooks Ramsey Lawrence Bale This, but with Mepham as the standout CB ahead of Williams. I would be tempted to start Ledley if he continues to start for Derby and Ampadu doesn't get any minutes. Naturally, you'd bring Ampadu on when Ledley tires. Wilson, Vokes and Woodburn could all add something spicy off the bench too. |
