As for Port Talbot, closer but still Jack turf imo.

They've lost 4 games on the trot, so their colours might go back in the wardrobe.

I live in Port Talbot area, and I can honlestly say I see more swansea shirts than city but only recently since they have been promoted otherwise I would say its 50/50!

I guess it all depends;
In regards to Neath, the town has traditionally been a rugby town, usually following Neath rugby prior to the Ospreys being formed. But obviously in terms of football support I'd say the majority support Swansea. Especially areas like Cadoxton, and the neath valleys. My honest assessment would be 80-20 split in terms of people supporting Swansea.
However, I'd say Briton Ferry, Skewen and Cimla have a higher percentage of Cardiff support, but still with a higher percentage of Swansea support. 60-40 split.
However, we come to Port Talbot, I'd say the Afan Valleys has traditionally been a Bluebird area, obviously being still close to Swansea they still enjoy some support in these areas. At present I'd say there are more Cardiff especially in areas like (Cymer,Bryn, Duffryn Rhondda, Abercregan, Croeserw, Caerau, Blaengynfi and Abergynfi) with support being high as 70-30 in terms of supporting Cardiff.
Other areas in Port Talbot, I'd say its very close, Baglan being 60-40 in terms of supporting Swansea. But a massive transformation over the years with Sandfields in my opinion, traditionally a stronghold for Swansea, but massive rise in young Cardiff fans, but I still believe its 70-30 for Swansea.
But areas like Aberavon, Taibach and Margam have a strong Cardiff presence, and I'd say its 50-50.
So like I said, it all depends, if anyone says there is more Cardiff support in NPT, they're kidding themselves.

Absolutely spot on pal with no bias whatsoever.
I've always seen it like this in Port Talbot and Neath.The headers/fighters/well known lads in each town follow Cardiff,always have.These are the lads everyone on this type of forum will know of,come across and socialise with.Now the Jacks on the other hand have many more fans in both towns,they're bound to governed by geography but these fans are not as prominent/well known or 'out there' as your better known Cardiff fans.Just because you have a bunch of headers from both towns following CCFC doesn't necessarily mean the whole town is blue,believe me.

I lived in the Wauncierch area of Neath and theres quite a few Cardiff there. Also Aberavan is quite blue.

I would also say that the only higher percentage of city over jacks in Port talbot is in the afan valley, especially Blaengwynfi where I am told there is the first jack family in history up there in Jersey Road
