Not sure I said I wanted it played. I think I said it would a nice gesture. Still, let nothing stand in the way eh?

So we're agreed that the FA welcome the Welsh sides as much as any other?

if we're talking in terms of how many times they've been in the top flight then your 'rationale' would apply to a lot of English teams. But to answer your question, it would have to be Swansea City when John Toshack took them to the top of the old Division 1 in around 1982, which I believe qualifies for your requirement of "within the last 30 years".

How are Swansea and Cardiff going to get better if they play against lessers sides like the part-timers of the Welsh leagues?
I think you're finding it hard to hide your bitterness and petty-mindedness now. Can't you just be pleased that other British teams are making improvements?
