A big factor in their deliberations will be what they honestly think of their qualification chances. If they have any doubt at all, they will go for the money.

They have gubbed us at both venues, so to be honest I'm not sure their chances will be affected by choice of stadium.

Isn't the point that the Welsh FA need to weigh-up any perceived advantage at CCS v potential income? I guess the FAW are like the SFA and aren't exactly rolling in it.

I doubt we'd take anywhere near 25,000, but 10/15k at Millennium v 3k at CCS is a big difference in revenue.

As the Welsh lad said on here, the Millenium wil attract a lot of casual Welsh fans - so with our additional support and an increased Welsh support you might well be adding 20K to the crowd. So at £30 a pop and then the additional add on of concession sales, programmes, merchandise etc you probably aren't that far from adding a million to the FAW coffers - and I assume Welsh Government and Tourism Boards would weigh in with some pressure.

I'm sure there is some form of calculator that's used to project added income per person for an event - say ticket £30, Hotel £50, food and drink £50, travel etc £10, Alca seltzer and immodium sales £10 - there's a conservitive estimate that per person the average fan brings in £150 to the Welsh economy, so an extra 20K would add £3 million - which is probablu roughly the combined GDP of Swansea, Neath and Llanelli

It's gotta be the Millenium
