A message to JR Hartley , lots of love from the West Glamorgan bluebirds xx

In the North East of England, Newcastle , Sunderland and Middlesbrough fans often overlap , areas south of the Tyne but closer to Newcastle often support Sunderland for example

In South wales there are cardiff fans in neath and port Talbot and Swansea fans in aberdare , merthyr and Pencoed

And then you have man united fans in Cardiff, pontypridd , Llanelli , Swansea , with no links whatsoever to the North West of England apart from the team they support wins things all the time .

These people should be backing Welsh clubs but they are not . You think its OK. I think its a load of cabbage .

Sludge, you're no internationalist, talking more like a Nationalist in terms of football support-Protectionism

[dembethewarrior]

You're an enlightened soul in regards to this subject!

Out of interest, why can't somebody from Pontypridd identify more with Man United than Cardiff City?

Do you actually think your area of birth should dictate your choices?

I know people who have followed United and Liverpool home and away for years even going to away European games

Let them enjoy it

It could be argued that they're more committed than fans that support their local team, every game is an away game. Real football fans in my opinion.....

Answer the question. At what point does it become not acceptable?

We’ve established 35 miles is acceptable but 200 miles isn’t.

Is 40 miles ok? 50 miles? 100 miles?

You’re being kind. I read his opinion as football socialism as football fascism. As he’d regiment the society to his own dictatorial beliefs and suppress any opposition.

He’s obviously winding us up? He can’t really believe this bollocks he’s dribbling?

My local club is Gabalfa Dracs, 2 miles from my house.

I think that he's getting a bit bleary eyed over being loyal to your local community-in football terms-that doesn't happen in any other industry under capitalism, unless you're white, slim, middle class and from pontcanna and you want to support some local artisan baker, where poor people aren't allowed to shop. It's all very confusing.

If course they are. Stupid to argue otherwise. But the same lot do.

Sludge, should Tan be allowed to own Cardiff? Shouldn’t he be supporting some Malaysian club?

[SLUDGE FACTORY]

He is our owner, he's not a local football supporter from pontypridd following Liverpool instead of Cardif City

Bit of a difference

the question has been answered however you either don't understand or don't like the response

[J R Hartley]

I asked you what is an acceptable distance? You talked utter gibberish in response.

[Llandaff Blue]

Bit of a difference

Shouldn't he invest in Malaysian football though? Just like people in South Wales should invest their time and money into supporting either us or Swansea instead of Liverpool/United. You make no sense

Ahhhhh... Football capitalism in the form of free choice, free markets and rampant commercialisation is ok for people who own clubs then. Thanks for clearing that up.

Remember Tan is the lad who wanted City to be like Liverpool, he even changed the kit

Imagine funding an institution that obviously goes against all your principles.

You’re a closet Tory behind this socialist facade you portray.

[J R Hartley]

So, to recap, someone from Ponty should be supporting Cardiff because it’s only 12 miles away, yet the person who dictates this grew up only 8 miles from Swansea yet doesn’t support them? To make it worse he supports their bitter rivals 35 miles away.

Where the hell is the logic in that?!?!?

Sadly that's the way football is

I just support the team , unlike man united fans in ponty

[SLUDGE FACTORY]

you don't like the answer that the support base of local rivals often merges

You don't like that , not my problem

[SLUDGE FACTORY]

he can do what he wants , he owns the club

I am just a supporter

the ponty fella should be supporting cardiff or swansea , not a football team 200 miles away

Its no more complicated than that

Bunch of premiership apologists the lot of you

Cardiff City for me and anyone not from Liverpool or Manchester in South wales wearing one of their tops is not in my phone book

So by this logic the North Wales lads shouldn’t be supporting Cardiff then?

[Der Kaiser]

What about Cardiff fans who aren't from Wales Sludge? Are they allowed to support City?

[SLUDGE FACTORY]

So by this logic the North Wales lads shouldn’t be supporting Cardiff then?

They are supporting the team representing the capital city of their country .

There are swansea fans in North Wales too

They are not supporting two of the most successful clubs in British history unlike the clowns in ponty
