It's not the 80s any more mate, however much you'd like it to be

To the younger generation of fans like myself I perceive the Jacks as our main rival, Bristol City are a rival to me but losing to the Jacks hurts more

Judging by ticket sales for sat clearly not. Went to brizzle uni 98 - 2002 in the good old days when we could get the train to brizzle so wurzels always a big one for me. The restrictions over last decade have killed this game as a derby.

Think we sold 1500 for sat. 10 years ago that would have been our train mob !

Swansea these days. Have become more then an annoyance in last 10 years.

Deffo Bristol at the moment, they are our nearest league rivals anyway.

At least you get to play against them I suppose.

Bristol City to me, the jacks are just temporary banter

The jacks! If we were in the same league as them and all the restrictions were taken away, there would be absolute carnage. You only have to look at what went on at a fukin horse race meeting last month to realise that the hatred between cardiff and swansea runs deep. if we were to get them in the fa cup this season and for some crazy reason the authority's decided to take away all restrictions, it would end up being carnage Our away match with bristol saturday will most probs pass with little or no incident even though the restrictions have mostly been taken away. Don't underestimated the rivalry of the south wales derby.

Being from Port Talbot, it's no contest, the Jacks every time , however, Bristol were more credible rivals, as we are similar sized clubs, closer in distance with the English v Welsh aspect thrown in. Also back in the day, they had a credible casual following, unlike the scruffs from down West.

I was brought up with both Bristol clubs as our rivals in the 70's that was until the Jacks joined us in the old div 2 up until that point their rivals were Newport County!

Bristol City hate us more than Rovers,

To me it's Swansea. Because when I became old enough to really take notice of football and know about things (2007) they began their 'transformation' into a bigger club (not big club, just bigger than before). And while I've been supporting they've mainly been in the same league as us fighting for the same prize so I value them more as rivals.
But if Swansea continue to succeed and we stay in the same division as Bristol they will be regarded as our main rivals, especially if they start to do well and their crowds go up

I honestly think that the longer swansea are in the premier league lording it and we are in the championship playing second fiddle, the more the hatred will become on our part more than anything. Then when we do eventually meet again...whether it be in the fa cup, them coming back down to the championship or us getting promotion to the prem league, there will be a lot of pent up frustration and emotions being released lol

As I work in Bristol these days,its safe to say if you support CCFC you will enter some form of combat mainly Pissheads who get all bitter about everything anti-welsh. From my experience they are a bunch of woofters I remember the days clubbing in swansea though, ending the night with a nice chicken kebab playing "ring of fire" off my nokia phone. All talk no action good times. So... from experience its Bristol for me

Definitely, Swansea are now in a different stratosphere.

I'm sure Preston don't consider man utd rivals, Liverpool and tranmere etc

bristol are ! always have been swans not rivals never have been just another club in wales!!!!

Ali Yassine makes the point in his book that it depends on what era we started supporting the City. For me, late 60s, it has always been Bristol City. Living and working in Cardiff from 1976 to 2010, I saw Worzels on a daily basis. There is a big distribution centre in Avonmouth, and we would get supplies from there daily. Great banter with the drivers; mostly Bristol City, but a few Rovers as well. Never underestimate how much they hate each other Hardly ever saw any Swansea blokes, and those we did were egg-chasers.

Bristol is a big, confident, city, and probably looks down on Cardiff a bit. In my experience, Swansea people have a massive chip on their shoulders. Even when their team is wowing everybody in the Premier League, and winning 5-0 away, they seem to feel the need to come on here. Pathetic, frankly. The Worzels are just a bit more grown up. And besides, people in south Wales tend to look east, including us. Bring on Saturday

The thing is, we have a choice of local rivals, the Jacks are stuck with us.

Classic thread already

Just listening to talksport and some of the fans from BCFC consider us bigger rivals thab Bristol Rovers now.

Classic thread already

I'm sure I've met that girl in your avatar in Mayhill once?

Classic thread already

I concur ,

Yes ,Both of them .Bristol city have always turned up but I always thought rovers were a bit more game Can't say the jacks because they turn up at 10 pm when every fucker has gone home or so they thought

it's swansea for me, seen my first derby in 1980 the 3-3 draw at ninian park and i've despised them ever since, my hatred of bristol doesn't come anywhere close to my hatred of the jacks

Things change over time, Stoke were our biggest rivals during the early noughties.
