Far from me to speak on mr Bings behalf but, i assume his point is that he finds it amusing that when we pulled clear of Cardiff as a club many years ago - there was a visible movement on here for a few months to make Bristol City your main rivals, rather than accept the fact you were thr lessor of the two involved in the rivalry. Yet the Swansea to Bristol City posts and topics are probably around 5000:1 in ratio, and have always been.

But thats just me guessing regarding his point :D

Where is the irony there? We were not the ones claiming that the other was not a rival. Irony would be if we were also claiming the same.

Think about it. :D

I usually only comment on Swansea related threads, interesting point you make regarding usually being made by Swansea fans. I have just gone through my history and the results are as follows:-

Made by Cardiff: 24

Made by Swansea: 4

The fact that you have become a member of a Cardiff City forum baffles me to be honest. I regularly look at this forum when if I have a spare 5 minutes, but I've never thought to go have a look at any other teams. Must have abit of spare time on your hands buddy !

Well i dont like Bristol City, but cant stand you jack bastards. Your our main rivals in my eyes and allways will be.
Im 37 but guessing people in their 40s/50s do see Bristol as big a rival as you due to past events in 70s/80s :thumbright:

Couldnt give a damn. I am not from Swansea just like most of you arent from Cardiff. Cardiff is my favourite City in Wales, but it has very little to do with the football club that happens to play on the outskirts of it.

I started following City in the mid to late 60's, which is probably why I don't hate Swansea or Newport as much as some people do on here. When I watched us as a youngster, none of the other Welsh clubs were our big rivals, and we never played each other apart from the Welsh Cup which we almost owned back in those days. Newport, Wrexham & Swansea were mostly two leagues below us, but Bristol City were in our division, and were certainly the main rivals as far as I was concerned. I suppose younger fans think differently as they were'nt around when the Swans were an established league basement side. Things change all the time, and it could all change again when the next generation of fans start watching the game.

If you are honest with yourself though Steve. If you had the chance of a guaranteed 3-0 victory next year in a Cup Final, and your opponents were chosen by you out of Newport, Bristol City and Swansea - we all know who you and everyone else would pick :D

The rivalry is a matter of personal choice, its as simple as that.

Cardiff will be the enemy to the majority of Swansea Fans as we are their closest rivals and they have to go over 80 miles before they even reach another Club.

Cardiff have Swansea 40 miles West, Bristol City and Bristol Rovers 44 miles East and Newport 14 miles down the road so who you call as our main rivals will depend on a number of contributory facts ranging from age, where you live and personal choice.

As an example, Cardiff fans from the likes of Neath, Port Talbot, Maesteg etc etc may possibly edge to having more of a dislike of the Jacks whilst Cardiff fans from places like Cwmbran, Newport itself, Chepstow and out towards the east might hate County and the Wurzels more. Plus there are Cardiff fans who will hate Bristol City more due to the England/Wales thing or it could be down to something personal and the same with Swansea some will just out and out hate them.

Given my example of being able to choose which out of these rivals you beat in a cup final next year 3-0. I would say 99% of fans will say Swansea, and that may be understating it. Maybe 40 years ago someone else was a more feirce rival, but even those brought up in those times will no doubt have grown with the times also.
