Priceless comment from a Liverpool fan

Must be incredibly difficult for the likes of Stockport and Tranmere to attract fans from the local area when you've got Liverpool, United, Man City and Everton just down the road

absolutely

Rochdale , Bury , Oldham

I remember being down the local many years back and a couple of squaddies were having a pint , minding their own business , one had a Oldham top on

One of the local arseholes , a United fan who has never been started winding them up as Oldham had started tumbling down the leagues

I bet this bloke , quite understandably thought I have come out for a quiet pint , in Wales and some taff idiot who should be wearing a cardiff shirt is singing United songs at me ?

This pillock carried on and got knocked out

It was hilarious

Jackanory. You were probably on the mushrooms when you thought this one up.
You come out with more shit, than a rugby team after a curry.

An interesting debate.

It’d be great to hear people’s thoughts on Cardiff City supporters in, say, Asia, who may never come to the UK and watch our team, but buy a shirt and watch on TV.

Is that a bad thing?

A good question but one that should first be viewed from an Asian perspective.

Two football fans in the same Japanese city, one who supports Nagoya Grampus Eight and the other a Cardiff City fan, who has never visited the UK but for some reason buys the City kit and loves the team.

Is the Grampus Eight fan a bit miffed because his fellow countryman supports an an all-conquering European super team ? Yes probably, especially if he wants his team's fanbase to increase.

From a Cardiff City perspective, would we welcome this gentleman from the Far East into the fold ? More than likely we would and quite enthusiastically too.

So even though it may seem hypocritical, it is possible to take a dislike to a local lad who follows Liverpool but on the other hand welcome a non-local who chooses to follow the mighty Bluebirds.

100 percent true

They picked on the wrong lads

I laughed my arse off

At Euro 2016 we started chatting to a father and son from North Wales in a Bordeaux pub. Turned out they were both Man U. fans. After a shaky start and a few pints we got into a decent discussion about football which ended-up with the dad crying in the pub over a signed picture of Giggs his family had bought him.

It surprised a bit about how passionate he was over his adopted club. Made me think a bit differently about ‘plastic’ fans tbh.

At the same time I’ve lived in England longer than Wales now but could never support anybody but the City. It really is a roots thing for me. We all have our own motivations for following a club I suppose.

Bearing in mind Wrexham would have been a league club for most of the time this chap was growing-up, are you giving the green light for South Walians to go and follow the wurzels there Sludge, in the highly unlikely event they were ever to become a successful club?

I call them the reversible shirt brigade, red, with 3 feathers on and ‘Kill the English scum’, next day turn it inside out and, hey presto, it’s got a Liver bird on and it’s ‘We're the best team in England’.

no, I think the people of North Wales should support Wrexham, and a lot of them do . But its clear many support United and Liverpool, mostly because they are good and because they are an hours drive away . Rock concerts , Shopping , Football , it makes sense that people from a mostly rural area would have an affinity for Liverpool etc as its an hour away

But pontypridd ?

You have to by pass cardiff , Birmingham etc


Its not just a hop over the bridge

I don't really care who people support, life's too short to get wound about about something so silly, but I must admit this lot do annoy me :hehe:
