Oh, good! The roof again :(

First topic message reminder :

It's on the news again, as if France would keep it closed.

I DON'T CARE

If I were Irish or French I would have wanted a roof...

Yeah, to think a few weeks ago they were praising roofs. Talk about hypocrites.

underground heating isn't a roof. That's what was being praised.

It is if your a worm...

Fly you can't have it both ways. Either get a roof over your heads or have more games cancelled due to snow.

That it is, Lover. That it is.

And when your at it Fly finish off that Vauxhall Conference stand behind one of your goalposts - embarassing or what

Morg, but if we got a roof we'd have yearly fights with the rest of you about when we get to have it open or closed. That's no solution.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow, I say. England and Italy played in snow - now there's real rugby men

Both men were beaten by Wales .

The Roof is just like The Daffs. Comes up around this time very season.

That's what you call modernist class, Ruby. It won an International award an' all. And the neighbours can still grow their daffodils. Them south Dubliners love their flowering gardens.

Was that Pridd RFC? I remember hearing about a club who had their cables dug up and taken, mustve taken a few hours to do for scrap metal costs of like 30-40 squid.

Wasn't there a rumour that a local company was paying them to do it, the repair costs are near new instillation costs aren't they?

Just rumours I heard, noone seemed to know exactly who was the victim.

Modernist Class Fly - Surely you mean Minimalist I fxxxxxx love Fridays

Well get down there and sort the turf out then

So far this season, we are unbeaten on that turf.

"If it ain't broke then don't fix it."

According to the BBC Wales weather forecaster just now, the roof will be open tomorrow, so the French shouldn't be moaning.

After watching those poor buggers in the crowd desperately trying to shield their eye's during the Italy game then if I was going I would certainly want the roof closed, my guess is they saw sod all for most of that game.

Being english is it wrong of me to say that I think it should be the home team's choice on if to have it open or closed, as long as the decision is made in advance (say before the teams are announced)? Only exception would be if the they chose to have it open and there was a chance the game could be called off then maybe the referee could intervene in the matter.

Having to shield your eyes from the sun is such a rare occurrance in Cardiff that it's not really an issue.

Personally I dont care if the roof is closed or not and have no problem with both teams having to agree.

My understanding is that if both teams agree to have it closed then it's closed. If one wants it open then it's open. Rugby is an outdooe sport after all. I think that's the fairest way of doing it. What's the problem?

The closed roof did give an absolutely incredible atmosphere to the HC final last season though. What a stadium. What a match.

In the 6 Nations Wales are not allowed to use the roof as an advantage, however in november Wales have control over whether it is open or closed.
