Neither - you get football and rugby fans in Cardiff and the valleys. Some people also like both sports - so no one answer to your question :ayatollah:

I would think the majority of the Blues fans are more Cardiff based , With the Bluebirds its more likely a 50/50 split but on percentage a bigger Support for football seems more likely .........So football Wins :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Cardiff itself is probably 10 to 1 football to rugby you only have to look at the parks football pitches to see that. Not sure how it goes further north. I would love to know the percentage cardiff vrs surrouding area.

No survey carried out or needed. Club rugby attendances are my proof.

Never see any of the pink Stetson wearing slappers at a Cardiff Blues game. :lol:

Most likely the majority of Blues fans are from Cardiff. Not many people from the Valleys like the Blues. But its a footballing city as more people play football

How can you be so unequivocal? Cardiff is clearly a football city, but is the country a rugby country? I don't think so.

I dont really get the hate of the sport on here. I know theres a bias in Wales towards it but its a good game. I enjoy both football and rugby :ayatollah:

Rugby is very clearly the most popular sport in Wales. Rugby is part of the Welsh culture whether you like it or not.

Would love to see stats on Rugby participation and regional attendances compared to football in Wales. I bet Cardiff, Swansea and Wrexham blow the combined rugby attendances out of the water.

Theres no doubt that Wales football can pull sell out crowds when we'r doing well, it's just Welsh football is a small fish in a very very talented big pond. Welsh rugby are a decent side but look at how many teams they have to compete against? There are about 7/8 world class teams.

Also international day in Cardiff is seen as a day on the piss wether or not your into Rugby.

More people will watch Wales play rugby though. The reason the regional teams dont get big attendances is purely that the standard of rugby is pretty poor and Rugby is still quite amateurish compared to football. International rugby there is more pride and passion plus theyre normally gaurenteed to get an entertaining game than if wales played football.
