The mad thing is, that would've been a cause for celebration all over South Wales, as back in the day when travelling wasn't as easy as it is these days, Swansea fans would travel to watch Cardiff if the Swans were away and Cardiff fans would do the same but vice versa. These days they would probably play it behind closed doors and bring the S.A.S. in as security.

Jonny Owen did a piece about that before the south wales derby a few years ago. i tried to find the link but couldnt see it. the rivalry is not as old as some people think. remember the two clubs went away and fought wars together. still think your a jack b*stard though

At least we've done something whilst being here. That is all.

That's because you're including the Welsh cup which for the majority of years would hardly be described as a first team game. . Try league games only.

what, are you saying they dont count? they are classed as competitive matches played so they count wether you like it or not. any match between us and you counts as its a derby.
bet you wouldnt object so much if they were in your favour.

Hey, feel free to include them if you like. I'll stick to league games where both sides would have been playing their strongest team.
