Good Luck to County tonight...

[Elwood Blues]

tbf it's a shame they haven't done better over the years. That would have been a proper derby, not the sort of manufactured ones we have had to have with Swansea and the Wurzels.

Why do you regard Swansea as a manufactured derby?????

What are manufactured derbys? They're either derbys or not derbys surely. I regard Cardiff v Swansea and Cardiff v Bristol City as proper derbys. I daresay the wurzels see Bristol Rovers as their main rivals, but there's a definite edge to our games with them and always has been for as long as I've supported City.

Paul, you are very, very wrong here, with regard to the wurzels seeing roverzzz as their main rivals. It's us!! Having lived and worked in Bristol I can say they definitely hate us with a passion!

Fair enough, I'm certainly not going to argue with you about it - I'd say that tends to show that there is nothing "manufactured" about the Cardiff v Bristol City derby.

As the crow flies we are very close

Thought County were value for the draw and have every chance in the 2nd leg

Derby's invented by the media to try and garner some interest for their TV channels.
Cardiff City v Wrexham - The Welsh Derby
Bournemouth v Brighton - The South Coast Derby

to name but two.

Games against Wrexham felt a bit different, but did anyone really think of them as a Derby game? The number of times Sky show our matches against the wurzels and the jacks (has there been a Cardiff v Swansea match in the last decade that hasn't been shown live?) suggests they think they are the genuine article.
