I have a feeling it will be 2/3s full on Tuesday even with the match sold out. I wouldn’t travel a long way to watch the match. The fans in North, Mid and West Wales will think twice about attending. What will help will be it being the Easter Holidays for the children, so some parents will also be off work. The 2 matches I seem to recall v Northern Ireland were the match at Parc des Princes in 2016. I also recall a rather bonkers match at the Millennium Stadium where there was a lot of needle between the 2 sides. Healy sent off and Savage.

A big crowd of 63,500 at the then Millennium Stadium.

Anyone at this match in 1970. Wales v Northern Ireland in the home championship at the Vetch. George Best being eyed up by the police and everyone else. Big crowd of over 27,000.
