Welsh anthem urged for cup final

I must agree with Rhodri Glyn Thomas, when he says there is a need for the Welsh national anthem to be played in Wembely.

(1) Cardiff is apart of the FAW not FA so they represent Wales.
(2) How often does a Welsh team reach a cup final within the English structure?
(3) There are more Welsh players within the Cardiff squad than English.
(4) + 25,000 fans will be supporting Cardiff - the majority of then from Wales or have Welsh heratige then it shows that a section of the crowd comes from a diffrent nation.


So i ask the FA why can't 'Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau' be played? Who is it going to hurt?

No No No...

Its The English FA Cup Final, in their own country and we cannot be
kicking up a fuss like moaning muslims. If they want to play GSTQ then good luck to them, why on earth should we expect Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau to be played? its not an international. I do not recognise GSTQ as my anthem, but am big enough to recognise that they have a right to play their own bloody anthem... stop moaning eh!!!
