... a question of history
The fifth of six films in which Dai Smith presents a fresh analysis of the Welsh.
The Crowd at the Ballgame
Spectator sport is a phenomenon of the last 100 years yet super-powers and tiny countries display their nationhood more nakedly on the terraces than anywhere else.
Sport is, so far, a little-used key to the historian's study of modern societies but, without its aid, the Welsh might be even more misunderstood than they are!
