Always remember being in Sharm el Sheik when City played Jacks away a few years ago - there was me, a Swansea fan and 3 lads from Porthcawl - all mad CCFC fans - we all went mad when we equalised - lost 3-2 from memory

Big Jason from Porthcawl was a massive City fan and personality when I first started going in early 90s
Sadly passed away now. RIP
I know a few City from Porthcawl they have their own facebook page all tidy lads.
I`ve been away with them a few times good drinkers and great company.
His brother Jarrod still goes to matches I think.Quote:

Big Jason used to travel on our bus then hop it back to porthcawl to work the doors on the stoneleigh club before it burnt down
Big city support round porthcawl , cornelly, margam, they used to drink in the taps
Used to occasionally travel with Big Jason (RIP), Steve David (RIPJ and our driver, the legendary *Mighty Atom” Peter Webb. Good times.Quote:

However what I would say is that a lot of boys in these places identify as Cardiff, but have only ever attended a few games here and there over the years, but all the Swansea boys I know in Bridgend are big time supporters home and away.
There's that Swansea pub in Bridgend up by the hospitalQuote:

Maesteg is still a city stronghold
And a lot of Cardiff up the Bridgend valleys like ogmore vale , bryncethin , sarn etc
To be honest Sludge, I don’t recognise the names but a fair chance I know the faces. We used to travel with a few faces from Pyle, Kenfig Hill, PT & Pencoed in various permutations but always with Pete driving with pedal to the metal all the way.Quote:

i watched a fair bit of football in Porthcawl hostelries around mid 2000's and it seemed very Jack-centric TBH
Im from down that way. Its about 60/40 in favour id say nowadays.
