Apathy

As per the last thread here. Wales get a 60 point stuffing at the hands of the Saes and i frankly couldn't give a toss.

10 years ago, I would have been inconsolable. Now, I'm more interested in our new season or the 20/20 finals or whether Barry Bonds gets to overtake Hank Aaron as all time baseball home run hitter.

Sad, very sad.

But the answer is quite simple Jeff. As I have said repeatedly as we do not see the internetional players at Ebbw Vale we feel nothing for them, or for that matter, the team. That is the difference from ten years ago!

There's probably a bit more to it than that.

When we were in the second division pre-1995, we never got to see internationals, well apart from maybe the odd cup game, but I had a huge affinity for the international team. Remember match days in the club and the game on the big screen?

There's so much happened since then, the gang of six, players threatening to strike, "regionalism" the Ruddock affair, Gareth Jenkins (the people's ie Turks) choice, not to mention a Millenium Stadium full of "fans" pointing at themselves on big screens, taking photos of each other etc etc.

All this completely alienates me and I assume, many others on this board and elsewhere.

It is sad, and I can only say I agree with, and feel exactly the same as all the above.
