Speaking to a lady in the dentists reception as she was waiting for her hubby
She was a Cardiff fan from a Cardiff supporting family from llangwynoed , Maesteg
She told me she was originally from Bryn on the way to Port Talbot and her husband , his family were from Port Talbot and Cardiff fans
She says there's always been a lot of support for Cardiff in that part of the world and of course there is a famous City pub up there , The Crown
The Vivian Hotel near the station in Port Talbot used to be a meeting place together with The Taps sort of Margam ish way
I think the Vivian is shut these days though
I think the key to it is live football. Most kids experience football via the TV. It's not that surprising therefore that they choose to follow one of the big teams. If we can get them to a few City games then I find it hard to believe they would want to get their fix via the small screen from then on.
From Llantwit Major originally although don't live there these days.
I was born in my Nan's house in Grangetown, and I walk past it on the way to the ground. So Cardiff born, moved to Penarth aged 5, and then back to Cardiff aged 21, and been here ever since.
It was when I was 10, but I was with Dad so I'd have walked all day. As a teen went with my mates and always ducked in the butchers on the way home knowing we'd get served because it was rammed.
Route was simple, cow and Snuffers Bridge road, Cardiff Road, Llandaff road and by then you were in the crowd and that was as good as being in the grange end lol. Same coming out
