Bristol or Swansea?

[xsnaggle]

My father followed city all his life and he always maintained that Bristol was the "Must win" game. The rivalry was intense. You must remember that for a very very longtime Swansea wasn't anywhere near the same league as us.

I’d say anyone over, say, 72 would probably feel the same, I’m 68 though and it’ll always be the wurzels for me for the reasons set out by Moodybluebird, although I’m not sure I would have said the same before the game with the jacks just before Christmas 1993 when their fans were an absolute disgrace.

I'm 77 in July......brought up between Porth and Trebanog.....and for me there is no question that Swansea are the ones I want to beat.......Bristol if we can....

Apart from Welsh Cup games I can’t remember the first one time I saw City play the Jacks in the league, whereas we were joined at the hip with the Wurzles for decades. I just checked 11v11 & it was 1980, we’d played Bristol 15 times in the intervening years.

Yeah, we played Swansea in the league a few times after my first game in 1963 as a seven year old before they got relegated, but I didn’t see my first league game against the jacks until I was 23.
