TWO weeks ahead of their own march for independence in Cardiff, a group of Welsh football supporters are in Scotland to meet up with Yes groups in Glasgow and Clackmannanshire.
Yes Clackmannanshire told us: “There is a cultural exchange taking place between Yes Clackmannanshire and a delegation from the Welsh Football Fans for Independence group.
“Members of Yes Partick Thistle will welcome both Groups to the Aitken Suite at Firhill in Glasgow, and after enjoying the football match (Thistle v ASr United) there will be a social event held in the Thistle Bar in Alloa.

“The Jags jamboree will include musical entertainment and an opportunity to discuss future linkage and consider how both groups can coordinate strategic activities in the furtherance of self-determination for both Scotland and Wales.
“A key consideration will be to look at a post-UK, where Scotland, England and Wales are sovereign and where Ireland is united.
“Sunday will see the biggest Bridges for Indy event ever to be held in Clackmannanshire. Yes Clacks and the Welsh Group will be joined by Clacks Women for Independence and colleagues from Yes Groups in Angus & Perth.
“The event will take place from 12pm to 3pm at the footbridge on the south approach road to the Kincardine and Clackmannanshire Bridges. The location has a good car park and is on the site of the old Pine and Oak milk bar.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
