Bristol City My Arse

Re: Bristol City My Arse

Bollux! Bristol City will always be our biggest rivals, not the JB's, from my point of view. I've seen most City v Wurzels games since '68/69 season, both home and away. They are our nearest English rivals that we have played more or less regularly since those days. There has always been vitriol between us and them. First time I heard the sickening 'Aberfan' chant was from the Bristol City lowlife scum. The JB's were Swansea Town back then, in the lower reaches of the old Division 4. I've worked and lived in Bristol City really, really hate us. I just cannot, nor will I ever get worked up about the jacks. Bristol City yes, Swansea no

You are very much in the minority

Re: Bristol City My Arse

Bristol I think is slightly closer, and there is the English thing, Swansea are much more up for it because they don't have anyone else near them at all. It will always be a much bigger game for them, just look at their Manager out celebrating with young boys in a bar, it means everything to them.

It means a lot to us too

Re: Bristol City My Arse

I think there are local factors as well

I live in CF14, Ashton gate is closer !!!

If you live and work in Cardiff you rarely meet a jack or wurzel but my mates in Bridgend county to Neath you are in the thick of it I guess so you see it differently. I guess the Rhondda is blue

Yeah Ashton Gate closer to me also in CF23.

I guess the issue is there isn't any area where cardiff or Bristol may be a choice people make. None. No school will be split between cardiff and bristol fans.

Whereas yes its clear there are large areas in south wales which while blue or white may be dominant for whatever reason there will be divided loyalties that just don't apply to cardiff Bristol.

Re: Bristol City My Arse

I personally dislike Bristol City more than I dislike Swansea, I worked for a company and we had depots nationwide, I worked out of the Cardiff depot but we also had a depot opposite Cribbs in Bristol, having to speak to those f'ing nitwits regularly broke my brain, the arrogance from these bellends.

the love-in began at 15 years old when I was arrested on Ninian Park Road (with Robert Hicks RIP) after a Bristol City game, from then on I dislike everything about them, the arrogance, the songs they sing but most of all their voice, it goes through me.

in contrast most of the genuine Swansea fans i've worked with have been pretty fair, not afraid to give Cardiff credit during our decade of dominance and they're just happy to have a club to support after such a turbulent past.

maybe your view (SLUDGE) on Swansea comes from the area you grew up in, Cardiff is nearer to Bristol, plus they're English.

Swansea weren’t even on the radar when I was younger. They were a crappy team from West Wales that I probably favoured over Newport County whose fans used to give me stick, being close to Newport myself. Bristol City were the rivals and my dislike of them is etched in my brain. Swansea now as well of course - I find their obsession with us quite disturbing.

Re: Bristol City My Arse

I feel a bigger bitterness towards Bristol and its seversnside badge due to past tussels , its Wales v England adds to that bite .

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..

Re: Bristol City My Arse

All these people saying Bristol but don't think I've ever heard an anti Bristol song at a cardiff game in 40 years. Whereas songs about swansea are several times every game home and away. Odd.

The classic advise of which side of the bridge you should shit on springs to mind .

I recall a few away days where the Brizzies chanted Aberfan at us, on a personal level that was enough for me to hate them on behalf of my Dad's old school, and past family connections .

7 years in the top flight and a trophy

You have swamp fever

Get a girlfriend. It'll give you less time to think of idiotic rantings.

Answer the question. When we went up in 2003, and they were in division 4, were they dominating? It's a yes or no question. So "yes" or "no" will do. Cheers now.

when I mentioned in my post "the songs they sing" I was alluding to the Aberfan song, horrible bunch.

to Father Douglas, as for the number of songs for Swansea compared to Bristol, that alone doesn't equate to a deeper hatred, in fact I would say it's more playful, apart from the on-field shenanigans I don't even acknowledge Bristol City on match days.

That's 1 year

What sort of question is that ?

Swansea City have spent 7 years in the top flight in recent memory

And won the league cup

I think you have to be pretty stupid to think we have topped that

Re: Bristol City My Arse

Exactly !

That's it really I think
