An open copy of Alternative Wales on a table top. The magazine is open on a two-page spread titled ‘Finding Love in a Hopeless Place’ though the article copy is blurred out. There is a large image on the spread of soggy Wales fans in the open away end in Zenica in Bosnia Herzegovina in 2015.

In the latest issue of @alternativewales.bsky.social I’ve tried to cram two decades of watching #WalesAway into 850ish words.
I’ve probably done as good a job as anyone could.

Get your copy now. Makes a great* late Christmas present.

Looking through an entry way into the main stadium of RC Lens in France ahead of the match between Wales and England at the 2016 European Championships Finals. The entry way is dark, but two wales fans can be seen cheering in the light ahead; a red flag is tied to a barrier and a beachball is flying through the air.

Climbing the steps into the main stadium bowl in Toulouse in France ahead of the match between Wales and Russia at the 2016 European Championships Finals. Wales fans in team shirts and bucket hats are stepping from the dark into the light of a clear blue sky; the bottom of a Wales flag flaps against the roof of the entry way.

Wales fans in national team shirts and bucket hats form a line up to the turnstile of the main stadium in Skopje, Macedonia. The turnstile is a big metal gate with many stewards standing behind it. Directions and instructions in Cyrillic are in green type above the entrance.

Had cause to dig out some photos of old trips to watch #WalesAway for the next issue of @alternativewales.bsky.social and turns out I really am a sucker for a good shot of Wales fans entering a stadium.

Photos below are from Macedonia in 2013 and Lens and Toulouse in 'that' summer of 2016.

If you were at that famous Super Furry Animals gig in Toulouse in 2016, we'd love to see your photos for an article in the upcoming magazine.

If you're happy to share them, please reply with them below or email them to contact@alternativewales.com.

“This is what Wales have: a team with no real designated superstar or tabloid sex appeal but one with cohesion, an identity, a sense of rhythm and texture and depth and fun.”
