    Fast forward to now, and it’s the other way round. You should know better than anyone though, how difficult it is to get rid of a “label” both in the media, and amongst the general public.
    Even now, if I mention to a someone from outside Wales or someone on holiday that I support the City, their usual first reference is to mention the Soul Crew, and the name we have for ourselves.
    It’s a hard tag to get rid of.
    Funny when l go on holiday and mention the city most people say Cardiff who?

    Of course pub opening hours and kick off times also play a part.

    When I was in Greece last year, one of the waiters realised I was Welsh and said, "Cardiff or Swansea", when I replied Cardiff he said, "Everyone in Wales is Cardiff"

    Not just outside Wales, I only live 25 miles from Cardiff, and some people up here still think all Cardiff fans are a bunch of hooligans.
