I was in Cardiff today at a conference and had to sit with a bunch of local noises. The conversation was about Cardiff and how the lack of a club in the Prem was hampering raising the profile of the city. They were listing the advantages they had over the Swans of a bigger ground, larger fan base and a more populous hinterland. Plus Cardiff is the capital city and is more prosperous and a bigger economic hub.
Eventually I was asked where I was from and I was able to say the home of the only Premier club in Wales and I have a season ticket. I was described as lucky and my parentage doubted. They are really not happy with the situation!! | | | |  |

Merthyr can hardly brag a large Cardiff support, the jacks are everywhere, it's a fact.
The valleys are swamped with black and white with a generation of young people loving the success. Bridgend likewise boasts a massive swans support. It's already been covered in another thread the huge amount of support in llantwit and Barry area, Chepstow too. It must feel like Custers last stand, totally surrounded and getting smaller.
On the contrary, west Wales is ours. It's done, it's over, goodnight ! [Post edited 6 Jul 2017 10:55]

A lot of CCFC fans in Merthyr just prefer to watch Merthyr Town these days. As for Swans support in the Vale, that's news to me but great stuff if it's there. | | | |

I am a Jack who has lived in Aberystwyth for over 40 years. I taught for 35 years in the local comprehensive school and the kids supported Man Utd, Liverpool and in the first decade of the millennium I saw Chelsea and Arsenal getting interest. I of course suffered lots of ribbing as to why I went down to Swansea to see them, this also applied to my children who are season ticket holders.
When I finished teaching kids would want to talk about the match I had been to at the weekend, plus some of them were also now going to the games. There are now Swans teams playing in the local youngsters leagues and the Swans shirt is the most popular in the area.
I never thought I would see the Swans in the top flight again after Toshack. I could never understand the line it would be great to go back to the Championship. Our Premier League status is very precious and much envied. | | | |

Having recently moved to Chepstow from Oxfordshire, there are plenty of Jacks in my local (excellent Queen 's Head Micropub) and only one or two admitting to supporting Cardiff. | | | |

I was down in Blackpill yesterday with my Grandson, I felt very proud and happy to be living in such a beautiful part of the world.
Cardiff, for all it's shops, and other things, comes nowhere near it. | | | |

Well, in Gibraltar recently and wearing Swans shirt. A guy came up and said he was glad we stayed up - he was a Cardiff supporter. | | | |

Couldn't agree more with that. Also went to Southwold the other day was told it was a lovely seaside village. My thought was "what, call that a beach?" The only reason I don't want to move back to (the) Gower, is the bloody mumbles road. | |

All very interesting to read ,but from someone who hates that lot with a passion ,I have to say that catchment wise they do have it over us at present ,and yes it is all valleys based as Cardiff population is transient,they will move all over the place for the money !
What I will say is ,give us a full ten years in the prem without them getting there and you will kill them off as a force ,a seven year old now only knows about us in the prem after ten years all Welsh ten year olds will only know the one Welsh prem team and will follow that team first ,you have a full generation for years ,win the fa cup and you could go global 😎😎😎 | | | |

Bridgend is turning white fair few Jacks in Maesteg valley .... as you say it's only a matter of time
Need to expand stadium to ensure we exploit the situation | | | |

What gets me wound up is seeing kids in Swansea who are locals wearing Liverpool, Man Utd or even Barcelona / Real Madrid shirts.'
There's a PL side in your hometown. Wear that shirt! | |

TBF mostly interesting comments. I remember reading the excellent Jackmail fanzine back in the day, your crowds were a fair bit less than ours at the time, the Editor didn't care, as he was proud that your support came mostly from Swansea, and he didn't really want people from the Valleys and elsewhere supporting yourselves.
Though it certainly doesn't drive myself or anyone I know 'bonkers' it isn't surprising how times have changed, success is sadly everything in today's world.
IMO you should support your nearest Professional football League team, obviously you now have people who don't agree following yourselves, I blame the parents.
Sadly due to the lack of expansion they'll never get to see an actual game.
Your Premiership 'plastics' will soon go back to 'supporting' Liverpool and Man U.
Good luck next season, I hope you lose every game  | |

Really, I worked in Bridgend today, Cardiff everywhere, even in the crap new Kit!
You missed the trick with the stadium, there were people even in the Rhondda who were behind you a few seasons ago. Once they realized they couldn't actually go and watch you, they're back to their first love-Man U/Liverpool-lol! | |

Whatever turns you on Pencoed Plastic, been working in your town as well this week. Off topic, it's got a really small shopping centre for the size of the place hasn't it, never mind easy enough to pop on the train to the big City for your treats!  | |

All good fun. Genuinely though Pencoed shopping centre is tiny for the size of the place!
All the new builds I guess made in recent years, and nowhere to expand the main drag? | |

They were not supposed to build any news houses until they either sorted the level crossing or built a new exit off the M4 on the hill coming down from Sarn
But money talks I guess ....
You are right for the size of the town not many shops
Live just outside Pencoed these days so I guess you are kinda right about being plastic ... not the Jack part though | | | |

The key word for Cardiff City FC is potential, has been since Sam Hamman.
But how long do their fans wait for such potential, certainly not his season, unless their CF Zohore comes good. | | | |

Nearly a century of delusion, but the potential will take another one. | | | |
