so much as been said about swansea,s crowds or should i say how small they are.what should be rememberd is that swansea is on its knees and ther is no money being spent here,as in the rest of wales out side of cardiff.cardiff is booming thanks to the assembly you did not want.i must say that cardiff is the bigger club,but not by that much.as for the capitol thing,wales is only a princapality and out side of wales we aint that noticed.infact out side of the uk we aint realy known.thats why pepole in swansea are so anoyed at cardiff,its not just the football but more to do with politics.you see as a small princapality wales cant aford to put all its eggs in to one basket in the hope to put cardiff up with other capitol citys,ie london paris madrid rome and so on,they are real citys both cardiff and swansea are small in terms of uk citys,so by the assembly pumping money in to your cty is cripling wales.the pepole who live in the valleys will know what im talking about as i do alot of work ther and must say ther is very little cash being spent to help out the area,yet cardiff is full of new shops and and so on.well any way thats me done.

I would leave it for now mate, I think the Cardiff fans have got other issues to worry about at the moment, couple of good points but maybe save it until they resolve this manager situation...

Get your drift, but everything does not go to Cardiff. The SA1 development in Swansea, for example, or the new shopping developments in Carmarthen, or the National Maritime Museum, or the National Botanical Garden. As for not wanting the National Assembly, well the vote in 1997 was very divisive, and fair enough, Swansea voted yes, but only just. That vote has been overtaken by the referendum in March this year on extra powers for the National Assembly, where the City and County of Cardiff voted overwhelmingly in favour, as did Swansea. I know that this is a sore point in Swansea, but things have moved on.

Again, Swansea's crowds, per head of population, are probably better than ours. We have a much bigger catchment area, not just in the city, but in the valleys, Barry, Bridgend, large parts of south Wales really. Correct me if I'm wrong, but most of your support comes from Swansea itself. Most of your surrounding towns are more famous for egg-chasing, like Llanelli and Neath, though there are plenty of football fans there as well.

So enjoy the Premier League. For next season, at least, you are playing at a higher level than us. Just be proud of what your club has achieved. :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

That was a proper waste of money, the town is dying, the only thing that does well is the cinema and the pizza express - yet only on a wednesday when orange wednesday run their deal and pizza express have offers on to coincide with that.

Night life is pretty much non-existent now. Sad to see as that's where I grew up and still go back to regularly.

Everytime I go there the older parts of town do ok, but the new developments just get people walking through. The Multi storey car park, I've never had to go up a level to park there, ground floor never fills up lol.

I'm from Bancyfelin, not far from your neck of the woods :ayatollah: lol
