    Barry , Bridgend , Maesteg , Porthcawl , Caerphilly, Pontypridd , The Valleys

    Porthcawl has loads of Cardiff City fans

    A lot of Cardiffs feeder towns have a real affinity for the football club

    Sadly I don't think that's mirrored by the population locally

    Now of course we are not a very successful club but there just doesn't seem to be that pride in coming from Cardiff that Swansea people have for example

    Maybe it's just my take on things but if a small town like Porthcawl can regularly arrange coaches for away matches then you have to ask why most of the suburbs of Cardiff don't have a pub or social club or supporters branches ?

    There are websites for Porthcawl , Maesteg supporters , I don't know of a Grangetown , Canton or Roath branch ?

    I have always found that a bit odd

    But both Liverpool and Man United have coaches going to see them from Cardiff I believe
    Why would there be a Canton branch? You can walk to the ground, there's no need to have any organisation. There's also less need to advertise yourself as a Cardiff fan if you live in the city. It's the same with flags, people from a town outside Cardiff are likely to put that on a flag, whereas you're less likely to put your suburb of Cardiff on there

    What do you mean don't have a pub? The Admiral Napier, Canton Cross, Canton Hotel, even the Landsdowne (last time I was there) all have a bunch of Cardiff City memerobilia in there and that's just a small corner of Canton.
