A team 3-million strong


As Team Wales secure their most successful performance at a Commonwealth Games, we look back at the huge role which you, the Welsh public have played in supporting our team to the shiny heights of success.

#PobLwc2014 saw Wales go selfie crazy to raise the momentum and spirit of the team.  Filling social media and taking centre stage at Team Wales HQ in Glasgow, your pictures provided a message of passion, belief and pride for our athletes.

And the message came through loud and strong, as pictures flooded to us in their hundreds, showing that young and old, male and female, workplaces, schools, clubs and charities, we were all proud to be supporting Team Wales.











Pictures flooded in from across the country and in some cases from across the globe;  we even saw one dedicated Welsh family take the #PobLwc2014 message on tour around the host nation....

After securing tickets to cheer on their country, the Drew family decided to combine a stint at Glasgow 2014 with a family holiday touring Scotland.

And seeing the #PobLwc2014 campaign, gave Dad Ian an idea – not only to send in messages of support from some of the most iconic landmarks of the host nation, but also to build a story for baby Gruff – to hopefully inspire him when he got older.
From Orkney, to Loch Ness, Dundee to the St. Andrew’s beach where Chariots of Fire was filmed....


 #PobLwc2014 and with it the spirit of a winning Wales made its mark for Team Wales courtesy of The Drew Family.

And their story sums up the overwhelmingly creative and passionate support that has been given to the team.

And a Winning Wales we have proven we are.  The Team Wales athletes smashed their medal targets and put our nation firmly on the sporting elite roll call.

Something which we can all be proud of, not only as an onlooker, but as passionate supporters who let our team know that we always had full belief in them.

We hope that their story will now inspire a next generation (including Gruff) to take part and achieve their own sporting successes across Wales.
