Skewen 15:49 - Apr 7 with 8756 views | taffpunk | I know I should probably be posting this on AA's site, as there's always people on there saying how these areas are 'Mostly Blue' , but I thought I'd try here instead. I'm going to watch my local Egg team in the 1/4 final of the Cup here on Saturday, any decent Pubs/Clubs in the town/village, will be stopping for a couple of hours before and after game, any recommendations. Also, is the clubhouse by the field, can you swig while the games on etc...will it be safe to wear my Bluebirds pin badge, or will the Skewen Boot Boys be prowling the streets, looking for Ystrad Rhondda blood? Any advice gratefully received... [Post edited 7 Apr 2016 15:49]

Not sure, it was done out relatively recently and I think there's new management but it used to be a big swans pub. | ![](/images/avatars/8982.gif) |

They used to do blue light discos there when I was in school as a way of keeping kids off the streets and out of trouble. I fingered a girl for the first time just to stage left in the main function room, up against the curtain. Good times. | ![](/images/avatars/8982.gif) |

You living or used to live up this way then ? If so, did you go to one of the local education establishments ? (Hillside doesn't count ! ) | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
Skewen on 21:04 - Apr 7 with 5459 views | taffpunk | Cheers one and all, ta for the helpful advice. I will check out the Pubs mentioned, won't have time for a haircut, don't really want an ice cream, but will check out the plaque in the club, '[girl's name unknown]... was fingered here'. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

Skewen on 07:54 - Apr 8 with 5209 views | taffpunk | Good luck to them, things like that don't bother me in the slightest. These 'glory hunter' type supporters will mostly soon bugger off if you drop out of the top League for more than one season. Both our team's supports are very similar unfortunately, as past fluctuating crowds have shown all too well. Looking forward to my day out in Skewen. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

I believe so - never been there myself (honest!) , but it still looks as if they are doing business there (and i don't mean selling cars ! ) | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
