if swansea and cardiff both get to the play off final is it fair to play at wembley?

[Lord Bracknell]

As I pointed out earlier ... there is no such thing as the English League. And there never has been. And Swansea City and Cardiff City have never played in the Welsh League.

Wrexham started in The Combination, before moving on to the Birmingham and District League, from which they were elected into the Football League's Third Division North.

Exactly, If they're so proud to be welsh, play in the f***ing Welsh league.



Completely Irrelevant though isn't it?
Charlton/ Any other team we sing that at are English so should play in the English league
Swansea and Cardiff are Welsh and make it clear how proud they are of this and how much they hate the English, well they should f*** off to the Welsh leagues if they're so proud to be Welsh.

Not really, because if he thinks it's a shithole then he might aswell go home

Plus he just liked facebook group called 'Cardiff City F.C'

If they let the taffs in our league then why not let in Celtic and Rangers, not that I want them two in there.

Could you imagine how fun that would be.

This isn't a rule that has just been introduced, I don't really see what the bother is to be honest, both teams play decent football and they've been in the 'English Leagues' for ages.

While being under the regulatory auspices of the Welsh FA.

I have a business contact who has a box in the millenium stadium, he told me yesterday that the stadium had been 'put on hold' just in case.

The only thing I find to be odd is that both Cardiff and Swansea are affiliated to the Welsh FA and not subject to the English FA rules. The League is registered with English FA so all clubs taking part in it should also. One big anomaly is the rule about 3rd party ownership it is a rule within the English FA rules but not the Welsh so both Cardiff and Swansea could take advantage of this and not be brought to task as West Ham and QPR were.

As I understand it, Cardiff have taken advantage of it.

EDIT Quick google search provides this article Same division but different rules for Cardiff City | Digger | Football | The Guardian

How can that constitute a level playing field with equal opportunities.

I have a recollection of there being another incident recently where one of the welsh teams got a slap on a wrist for something that the english team got serious punishment. I want to say it was a crowd trouble issue involving millwall, but could be wrong on that.
