There's a historical animosity towards the southern Welsh from Bristolians, especially the older ones. It stems from the depression years when facing massive unemployment many Welsh people went Bristol in search of work. The other point to make is that Bristol was always considered in business circles throughout the UK to be a City with folk with a village mentality - doing business there I can certainly vouch for that. Having said that, whilst the south Wales derby is the 'big one' for me, I don't have the animosity for the Jacks as I do for the Wurzels..
