Not all of us.
A significant amount of Little Englander types though who often turned up for games against Welsh clubs. They were more likely to turn up in numbers at Wrexham than Cardiff back in the day, I wonder why!
Yes, there were loads at Merthyr, but when you win easily most weeks and many games are relatively close people get used to going. Conference North aways we're back to the diehards.

What other trips would you describe as a local Derby when you were in the same division as Hereford?

I was living in Oxford when we played Hereford in an early season game , early nineties
Hereford had started well and there was a very large welcoming committee gathered in Hereford and the town centre pubs that day
I had a wander around the town before kick off and I had a very squeaky bum .

See, this is why people shouldn't laugh at those half-and-half scarves.

I know the both Well. Wood Farm is a little council estate. Just north of Wood farm is shotover, very expensive property. I worked there on and off for two years. Cowley rd is the main student street. I stayed on the road parallel to it, Iffley rd.

Not quite sure what that has to do with the way you wrote your comment.
It was a lighthearted response from myself, as shown by the use of an emoticon wink.
You haven't got to be this hard up all the time. Relax.
