Although I wonder if he was there myself.
Only met him briefly through a few rugby mates, but he seems a good laugh.

And in some ways he's right, when both clubs were telly crap it always seemed to me that the people of Swansea got behind their team more than those of Cardiff.
For most of the 80s and 90s our crowds were similar, despite City getting a good number of fans from the Valleys.
Hard to admit, but as a percentage of population over the years they probably do back their team more.
In fact in the past we've had thousands in our own city who've actively despised the football club, hence why some of us are so passionate about trying to get people behind the club.
A lot of their support comes from outside the City of Swansea, ie Port Talbot, Neath, Swansea Valley, Llanelli, Ammanford, Carmarthen etc they are no different to us on that concern.

With regards to us being despised in our "own city" I would say that its more of a South East Wales issue, where plastic Liverpool, Man Utd not to mention the once a season egg brigade have looked down on the club for what ever reason!

Never been bothered about what these types think about us "F**k em"
