Maybe if we weren't so condescending as the English can be (you only have to listen to some of the patronising comments from commentators for example) we might win a little more support from our close neighbours. Not arguing with you Regis, just another way of looking at it.
I agree and see your point Boingy. It certainly doesn’t help when we have some terrible pundits and commentators.. but these should not be taken to be the view of the nation, sadly the ABE do. I was fuming when Ferdinand and Wright made some very cocky comments lately, they need to be more humble and realistic.

The argument that welsh fans always state that they are not too bad for a population of 3M.. well you have Netherlands and NZ with similar sized populations which they always forget.
The welsh naturally always have a chip on their shoulders.

The point Mick made is true and Tenby isn’t so bad unless you’ve got visitors from those other areas. That said Mick, Tenby or pretty much most of Pembrokeshire are known to have English ex pats in high numbers - so probably a reason they are not so bad. English parents, welsh kids. I know so many of them.

btw HRK isn’t strictly welsh.. surely he’s from England. I’m sure someone will correct me.
