41 years I've been going to Ashtip Gate

Tue Jan 26, 2010 10:01 pm

I don't think I've seen us win, seen lot's of good draws and had quite a few set to's outside,went last week for cup game. Today however, my dearest beloved love of my life, god bless her, had an operation in day surgery at Prince Charles hospital.

So my question is, after 41 years of scraps at Ashtip gate, how come they wait till I'm playing nursey before they decide to smash, hammer embarrass, humiliate and destroy them west country carrot crunching wurzel wankers when i'm not there?

I'll forgive them this time, but please let me know your plans next time.

Whilst the Jerks are recognised as our current rivals, The wurzels were always the main rivals for people of my era, please allow me to gloat fully.

Wurzuls ALWAYS the No 1 Rival. Always see Swansea as a little brother.

don't fret about not being there. almost as much pleasure reading the score line.

Worzels always been my No 1 most hated team. Tonight is the sweetest night of all beating the play off semi when Thornes header stole a 1-0 win. Jerks not even close. Just gonna write this down.........

BRISTOL CITY 0 - CARDIFF CITY 6

Gwyn, I feel the same as you, mate. Been over there many times and can't recall us even drawing. I was too scared to go the play-off semi in case I jinxed us. But after a last minute decision, I decided to go tonight. What a way to end a hoodoo. 6-0.
What a night against our biggest rivals AND I WAS THERE TO SEE IT! Sorry you missed out and hope the Mrs gets well soon.
