there is not the same amount of animosity between us and any other place in Wales and it seems to be that all the other places in wales don't like Cardif, are we all just jealous of them ?
They seem to get everything and we don't
I was talking to one of the guys that runs Newport and he was saying that they support us as the only Welsh PL team
but when crapdiff were up here they did not support them.
there is more to it than football. |  | | |  |

Being a born and bred Newportonian people here don't dislike Cardiff as a place, in fact many love it. I'm sure there are many people that dislike it on a sporting level though whether they be County fans or not. |  | | |

I don't mean as a place, its much better than Swansea and Newport no question of that everything is nice and new and loads of nice shops. Loads of gigs up there its a much better city as far as shops and going out.
we've got the best beaches though!  | | | |

I wont argue with that but i nearly always spend my money in Swansea . Very rarely i spend money up there because the welsh assembly are doing it constantly.
I totally understand people wanting to shop there though, and the city is of course very nice and so it should be with a billion quid spent on it,it's just something i don't do out of support for local businesses .
They(WAG) want everyone spending their money up there so i make a point of not bothering ..fook em !
If a want something fancy like a nice watch or expensive clothes then its London ,Stavanger/Norway where i work or Heathrow/gatwick airport duty free ! though they have good jewelers in Swansea and moda/debenhams have decent clobber.
Spend in Town mun, helping local shops will help further investment long term, we have the raw materials in Swansea bay to make the city an absolutely fantastic one . [Post edited 25 Feb 2015 17:34]

I agree with you totally,
unfortunately our backward thinking council don't.
they say that they can't bias towards local growth business as they have to abide by European legislation which does not allow such things equality for all business big or small.
its complete BS as loads of old English town and cities have helped small local business grow, in Glastonbury there is not one Maccy D or betting shop its all local business. When this was brought to the attention of the scc they said they were not prepared to comment on other councils only their own.
they disgust me they are openly corrupt | | | |

Yes very tragic indeed.
It's why i try and think about our local businesses when home, not a crusade by any means but i try and spend my cash in my home town, and hope to watch it grow, every little bit i spend in Swansea will help IMO.
Fook Cardiff, it's false in every shape and form . |  | | |

My sentiments exactly. They've (WAG) spent a fortune of our money on it purely to entice as many as possible to go there for shopping or whatever which then gives them to excuse to spend even more because the 'footfall' demands it and it's 'what the people want'.
Well this 'people' certainly doesn't want it. It's nothing to do with Cardiff people who are essentially the same as us, it's to do with the total bias of the WAG towards Cardiff at the expense of the rest of Wales.

I think the antagonism goes back to before the AM was formed and probably stems from Rugby, earlier footballing in lower leagues or just plain old natural "triballism".
I don't think the people from Llanelli and Swansea like each other very much either. | | | |

When I lived in N Wales it was just the same. People resent that Cardiff gets everything and the regions are an afterthought (not helped by the Assembly vote result!). So there's a general Cardiff v everyone else thing going on. On top of that they disliked CCFC because they have a history of being a bunch of yobs that show Wales in a bad light. Cardiff, Leeds, West Ham... Wherever I've been these are the teams people often talk about as having a higher percentage of d1ckheads following them. Probably unfair on the vast majority mind. |  | | |

I believe it all started during the hooligan period which more or less started in the 70's. I know of people who used to go to both grounds to watch games prior to that. |  |

a lot of the older lads swayed towards Cardiff more than us in Llanelli. Its a childish rugby mentality almost protest support. being traditionally a rugby town, some cant bear the thought of following anything Swansea.
however, this is changing drastically since Llanelli hasn't now had a maternity ward for a long time and therefore the vast majority were born in Swansea, coupled with the swans success and the decline of club rugby in wales |  |

Cardiff didn't have much to be jealous about back then either. Even in the mid to late 80s the city centre was pretty much a sh*t hole if I remember right. | | | |

I don't like their accents, attitude, selfishness, arrogance, claaarks pies, pints of daaaark, Cardiff Blues, Cardiff Devils, football hooligans and of course Cardiff City.
They can also stick their millenium centre, millenium stadium, Dr Who exhibition and Cardiff bay up their jacksies.
Hope this makes my position clear, apologies if I've missed anything out |  | | |

It's not, it just has a vastly superior city centre. The residential areas are much of a muchness, some good some bad in both cities. Personally I would rather live here. | | | |

I like your sentiments Icey, but I won't spend a penny in Moda. I remember when it was Rowberry's and I found the staff very arrogant and obnoxious. |  |

It is largely at attitude thing with Cardiffians. Don't get me wrong there are some good people, but they really think they are better than the rest of Wales. They really rip into Valleys supporter who kept them going through the 80s. CRFC/Blues are just the same with a massive superiority complex. The only clubhouse that would not admit visitors on a match day. Not even the Turks would pull that | | | |

Cardiff to Wales is same as london to rest of uk.
It's nice to have beaches but you need the weather.
Swansea doesn't.
City first every time and thus is why cardiff is so much a better city for a foreigner to visit.
Cold wet beaches with fook all else to do ain't any good really | |

That last sentence... Tragic and soo wrong.
Do you think it rains every day down here?
Do you think it's like Alaska or something?
Do you think the Gower is all about skinny dipping and deck chairs?
The Gower Penisular is so much more than that. [Post edited 25 Feb 2015 23:35]
