I don't hold any truck with the royal family either, but I do believe, much like Bellamy for Cardiff, that they bring in much more money through tourism and they get given by the government.

I have no problem with the Royal Family. I see them as English royalty and
not Welsh, so dont ever give them a second thought.

I agree we shouldnt be funding them, but at the same time, English people
could complain about their taxes contributing to the Welsh economy. Swings
and roundabouts.

if they do bring in more money than they take then as a tourist attraction that's fine by me

but the whole idea of a monarchy and so on is very outdated

We had a similar 'debate' to this recently and I ask the same two questions:

1: Would YOU want to walk in their shoes for a few miles? I know I wouldn't, as it is the most intrusive job in the world!!

2: Why are we debating the Royal Family on a football site?? Did Charles ever play for Windsor & Eton then??

Thought not....

Fooball / Royalty connection my game plan !

Liz to hang up her boots

Charlie on for the first half

Willy to come on for the second half and take on the captains arm band with his new wife. Then get stuck in and earn back the respect. With Harry in toe with his gearge best / paul gasgoine booze antics for the lads.
