Some people in Wales have reacted with anger to the news there will be no Cardiff fan zone for football fans to cheer on the national team this weekend as they look to secure a first World Cup appearance in 64 years.
Wales will play either Scotland or Ukraine at 5pm this Sunday at Cardiff City Stadium in a play-off to decide who heads to the World Cup in Qatar later this year. Because the fixture coincides with the Queen's Jubilee bank holiday weekend and a number of events — both Jubilee and non-Jubilee related — taking place in the Welsh capital, supporters will not get the fan zone they have been accustomed to since Euro 2016.
The announcement did not get a positive reception from all of WalesOnline's Facebook followers. Andrew commented: "Whose queen is she? The government run the country not the monarchy! Outdated. Wales however have a very important football match on Sunday. Cutting fan zones will only increase the rise in people frequenting the city centre instead of big screens. This is a World Cup qualifier, I personally think it’s out of order. The game should have been moved a week forward. Who does the thinking I really do not understand!"
