However, I must admit that the one out of our two recent derby defeats which hurt me the most was the one against the jacks - maybe it was because we were absolutely useless at the Liberty and surrendered with barely a whimper and we were unlucky to lose to the wursels, but in terms of my reaction, Swansea was the bigger derby out of the two.
Exactly my thinking Paul. Sadly I think it is an age thing. When I was young Swansea Town did not really register. They were a team we played occasionally in the Welsh Cup. Bristol City seemed to be a constant presence. Impressions gained at an early age usually stick. That is why, for me, the Wurzels are our biggest rivals
