City support from the Cardiff area's?

[stan butler]

Back in the 80s and 90s i remember City having a very good following from the Docks , Ely and Llanrumney area's.
Do these places still have a big interest in watching the city?
What other parts of Cardiff follow us in good numbers?

Groups from the areas you mention also had significant issues with each other back then too, you could throw Fairwater/pentrebane into that scenario too.

I moved to Heath 18 months ago. It doesn’t appear to be a hotbed for City fans.

Well, i'm just around the corner from you, so there's at least 2 of us The Youngers Chippy on Caerphilly Rd is kitted out in City pics etc.The Barbers shop opposite the Birchgrove pub has a City themed stain glass window and a little further north is the butvhers arms in rhiwbina which used to be packed out with City memorabilia. North cardiff is a hotbed

Most are either dead, in jail or banned….. I’m sure a few still go but don’t see many of them. A guy I knew from fairwater back in the late 80’s said he stopped going as it was just too much hassle with them.

There's a healthy contingent from the flyover up to the deri pub.

Most about that, I’m not sure most of them went for their love of football so might not be inclined to go the ccs these days!

I don’t think we get much support from the people who live in cardiff anyway, we never really have if you consider the city’s population (say 380,000), we dont even get 5%.

I haven't seen any City fans in St Mellons area, apart from my sons (and one of them now lives in Roath)

Used to be a healthy contingent from llanishen and Whitchurch

Seems that way. I work for a large institution that is full to the brim of blokes who would fit the job description of being a city fan. I've not heard one of them mention us.
