The Sales ahead of the Autumn International series flag way behind what one would normally expect for games of this nature. Draw your own conclusions and I'll draw mine

Ticket Sales For Autumn International Series


Wales v South Africa - 53,000
Wales v Romania - 20,000
Wales v New Zealand - 57,000
Wales v Japan - 25,000

How bad is this? When we played at Wembley in Graham Henry's 1st game in charge over 50,000 travelled all the way to London to watch Wales take on South Africa.

2 Autumns back the Millenium Stadium was completely sold out for Wales' clash with the All Blacks.

Now even thought the national side is showing signs of revival, the tickets sales do not reflect this.

Why?

Constant upheavel in Welsh Rugby has driven people away from the game, people are just not interested any more.
