There will be a mass invasion of Cardiff on Saturday November 12th which has been referred to as "Super Saturday". Wales v Argentina (ko 1730) Autumn Rugby Union International at the Millenium Stadium and Wales v Serbia (ko 1945) World Cup Qualifier at the Cardiff City Stadium. The post-match arrangements and train capacity will be very interesting when details are released, especially when major building work is taking place in Central Square. ATW are still working on arrangements so watch this space. Should be interesting.
Arrangements here from ATW Website:-
