Growing up I always regarded the Wurzels as our main rivals and, looking at our games against them, we have played them 82 times in the league. Significantly more than Swansea. I still look upon the Wurzels as our main local rivals and not the Jacks like most people seem to do. Perhaps it is an age thing.
They didn’t really appear on the scene until tosh brought them up, they disappeared again and we only historically ever meet them when we sink low. Lately however they have had their golden era, are they about to sink again? Who knows......
