Attendance: 529


If [a] football match was held, but there were no fans to see it, would it still take place? Wales v Northern Ireland in Dublin tonight. More stewards than fans. More people in the marching band than fans. More journalists than fans. One estimate said that there were 161 Welsh fans and 59 NI fans. The convergence of poor international sides, crazy ticketing policy, an ill-conceived cup and Enda Kenny on the Late, Late. What a shambles.

I'm speechless.

Makes the 12,083 from Tuesday night look a fine crowd.
