[LilMissHissyFit]

We're looking for things to do with kids in particular 7-16??

No chance, you'll never get a ticket.

Anyway this weekend there is a special christmas thingy on at Caldicot Castle which looks good.

Sorry I forgot, swansea never sell out their allocation anyway until they put them on general sale. cardiff fans on the other hand probably would have had to attend over half the away games in the season to qualify.

wrong... but its not what you know... its who

So you are admitting to being the worst kind of football fan, the type that only turns up for the big games.

 

[LilMissHissyFit]

Not at all... Ive been several times this season when funds and kids etc will allow. I cant often make it to tuesday night games for instance because its too late for the kids by the time we get back..

But I dont have a season ticket and thats where the first allocation always goes ( and rightly so) so yeah its a case of who you know quite often... there are often opportunities for season ticket holders to purchase two tickets etc

Take turns putting your hand into that wool-white bell-tongued ball of holidays resting at the rim of the carol-singing sea.

Whistle to make the dogs bark to wake up the old man next door.

Knock on the doors with blue knuckles.

Sing and wallow all night and day in caves that smell like Sunday afternoons.

Bound into the house, laden with snowballs, and stop at the open door of a smoke-filled room.

No there's not.

What games have you been to this season then in that stadium that you hate and iirc said you wouldn't go to again?

The museum at St Fagan's is lovely this time of year. Check out the mediaval thing at Comeston Lakes, they do a lot of family-type activities.

 

[LilMissHissyFit]

Thanks, we live round the corner from St Fagans so will be checking them out

I hadnt thought of cosmeston

[lewislewis]

Cosmeston is great even just to walk when there isn't anything on.

 

[jjuice]

[LilMissHissyFit]

Tomorrow night at St Fagans is their Christmas night, we might head there if Im not too knackered
