Mrs KC + I were on an early train from Paddington

09:30 perhaps, and it was nearly full as we left. Think it was at Newport that the problems occurred and there were a few fans of both teams left on the platform as the train was full. Assume it would have only got worse as the morning went on.

We were in the Cayo Arms in Cardiff by 12.15 beers in hand.
