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!! | | | |  |

''Some people tell me that Swansea is the enemy, Swansea for Pete's sake!
"There is nothing wrong with Swansea but is that the extent of our ambition?
"Swansea will never be a big club and if they are honest with themselves they will say so, if Swansea fans are Welsh and want to see top class football in Wales, then they should recognise that Cardiff City is the only Welsh club with a cat in hell's chance of making it.''  cracks me up does this every-time  | |

And sadly some high profile supporters fell for it, mostly the ones who only started going when Hamman took over. [Post edited 6 Jul 2017 20:09]

Hope you've got a big shop by your house. Maybe it'll compensate for you having a small (and shrinking) football club.  | |

I live in Pentre in the Rhondda, there are enough shops for the size of the place.
I'm not that bothered if the Bluebirds are small, big or shrinking...
I support my nearest Professional Football League Club, simple as that. I see no reason why any true football fan would do any different. I've supported them when they were rock bottom, and when they've been doing reasonably well, I can't see me ever stopping.
If I was born in, or lived near Swansea when I was a youngster, I'd be supporting you through thick and thin. The same would apply if it was Scunthorpe! | |

Have you ever noticed the Bridgend/Pyle/Cornelly/Porthcawl cardiff supporters are always really weird? I have worked down that way and they are usually the strange kid who used to eat crayons in school. | |

Jackmail was indeed an excellent read. Though the editor was actually from Port Talbot not Swansea. Pretty sure he didn't really care where Swansea supporters came from! Btw, we're talking late 80s / early 90s here. Think you'll find there wasn't much difference between both club's support at this time. | | | |

You never used to see anybody wearing a Swans shirts in Cwmbran or Abergavenny. Thankfully those days are long gone ! | |

I hate the scumbags but to be fair to Taffpunk the links from there to Cardiff are easier.
But they are like sheep.
In Lille watching wales fans from Blackwood tried to give it big to Steve from the railway, but walked away with thIs tails between their legs.
With loads of ENGLAND supporters laughing at them because most had never been to watch Cardiff play. | | | |

I was referring to the OP's colleagues and their attitude about almost being entitled to having a premier league football club solely because they live in the capital of a non sovereign nation. That's all. | |

If Llanelli is a barometer of our support and our success,then as a Jack who has worked there for 11 years . When I first arrived I did see a few Cardiff jerseys and not many Swans , mostly men in their 50/60's. However in last 5 years you see the odd codger with their discreet Ccfc shirts or hats but lots of youngsters with Swans jerseys. Mind you I think all Turks are born with those hideous scarlet tops!!!!! | | | |

8/9 miles difference according to Google maps, must admit I thought it was more than that. | |

I'm not going to fuss to dig the Issue out, got hundreds of zines in the house from back then. The article/comments were something about how when he stands on the NB he was pleased to know that the people around him were from the Swansea area, and not from Ponty This, Ponty that, or other obscure Valley towns, words to that effect. | |

On the Llanelli point, I listen to a rugby radio show quite regularly and they were speculating that our success has been a reason for the Scarlets' dwindling crowds (despite their relative progress). | | | |

The key to all of this is staying in the Premier League. The longer we are there the deeper the notion is embedded that we are the team to support in Wales. However, we need to got the youngsters on board. The upcoming friendly should have been priced a lot cheaper and with a nominal charge for kids, same should apply for cup games.
If a modest steady stadium expansion could be undertaken this ensures long term support.
If we drop out of the top league none of this is so relevant we are quickly reduced to core support based on a poor economy.
Last season was a real watershed, a club our size must fight tooth and nail to retain our status. | | | |
