Who are our real rivals?

I'm 56 and for me it's 100% Bristol City

43 years I've been going and for me it's Newport County and Bristol City.

Of course I look forward to the Bristol Rovers and Jacks games, but I also look forward to Millwall,Pompey and Chelsea games

Hello Roathy and fellow jacks infested on here. It is up to the individual to judge who is considered the main rival. It makes perfect sence to see both equally or regard one higher than the other based on geography or personal reasons. I for one for years saw Bristol city as a main rival purely based on there being a genuine rivalry in the 2nd division in be early 00's. Swansea did not even enter my head and that's a fact. Swansea then took over for a bit when we were in the same division. This season, I wonder if that will change again. Perhaps, who knows. The truth is Swansea only really have us and they don't like it when we don't always feel the same. It's like a jealous ex girlfriend throwing her toys out the pram because we don't feel the same

I think the older Cardiff mob look more towards the worzels as our main rivals, and the younger Cardiff fans look towards the jacks as being our main rivals. For me it alternates between both. Currently I see the worzels as our main rivals. But If we were all in the same league, then I'd have to say the jacks would shade it as our main rivals from a personal point of veiw

I Def do
Worzels and County for me

In work I tell the jacks that Brizzle are our real rivals to shut them up, but if I had the chance to beat either then it would be Swansea every time and I think thats how it is with the majority of our fans in reality. As others have said, our match against Bristol wont come near a sell out, if we played the jacks then people would be clamouring for tickets. We sing anti jack songs at games far more than anything anti wurzel and also sang songs about them in our promotion parade to the Prem, i dont recall anything Bristol related. if anyone thinks Bristol are our main rivals then they are either in a wind up or in the very tiny minority. Thats how I see it.

Roathy ?

What gave it away...

Sorry but the rubbish peddled on this thread is shocking.

Why because you can't argue that people have a different opinion to yourself? What is there not to get?

The jacks.

Jaxx aren't the main rivals this season for sure. There's no chance of playing them apart from a future cup draw.

Rivals change according to circumstances and until the two clubs are in the same division, we should concentrate on the sides we play every week. For jaxx that's Liverpool, Spurs, Sunderland et al. For Cardiff, it's Brighton, Boro, Ipswich etc.

This is yet another distraction designed to undermine the real job, which is to win the best possible table position. Even when promotion is achieved, maybe it's time to ignore local rivalries until the two clash.

Just my opinion obviously.

Has anyone thought to ask what Bristol City supports think ,they're probably indifferent to Cardiff and it goes without saying they consider Rovers to be their main rival regardless of what Division they're in .

I'm 41, and for me it's Swansea.

I have worked with several Bristol City fans and yes they dislike Rovers a lot, however they hate Cardiff with a vengeance, due to the fact we are Welsh and they all hate the Welsh passionately, and due to the fact that Cardiff use to cause so much trouble in Bristol each time we played over there.

Some rubbish posted on here, that's for sure but if it makes you Cardiff boys feel better then who am I to spoil it. The jealousy is eating you up inside, let it go.
At the moment it's a bit like Orient trying to rival West Ham, don't embarrass yourselves boys

There he is. Living proof that the Small Man Syndrome is alive and well. This Roathie alias shall now been known as 'rightcock'.

We don't claim to be anything we're not. They say there are a million supporters in your catchment area but the boundaries are changing, 20 development centres, 1 in Bristol and 3 in Cardiff will change the dynamics of the supporting public of South wales.
86 sell outs on the spin, no doubt we need a bigger stadium, 40,000 should just about do it

Took the words right out of my mouth. It's not you it's us. Not all of us feel the same about you . I know it's hard to take, but time's a healer

Booooooooom. There he is again. Rightcock. Small Man Syndrome personified in the oddball loser that is Roathie.

Growing up we always tended to look east to Bristol in the 80's, we wanted to be better than them etc, the jacks were nowhere and had no fans, and were no bother. I used to see battles with Newport going on every other week in town with 100's involved sometimes. Even though we weren't playing them they were our rivals for sure. You jacks were seen as a bit of an embarrassment if the truth be known, not showing for Wakes away games and dressing like tramps wasn't cool at all back then.
Yeah you have zipped past us in the league and you have your premier league, enjoy it, I guess your rivals are villa for now as you are light years ahead of us. I mean you even have a development centre in front of my house in Heath park, fans all over the world and a 40,000 stadium on the way. Yep, way out of our league, I'll stick on the wurzels thanks....

Bristol City for me, always has been and always will be.

Come on Goats, you say it enough times and you might even get me to believe you, you mentioned the 80's, we zipped passed you on and off the pitch then too especially the early 80's.

Sums it up for me, I can't hear anyone mentioning Bristol

No they don't, just like the handful on here claiming its Bristol, aren't representative for the whole of your fanbase.

TBH, nobody speaks for me and I guess it's the same for most on here!

Always the exception to the rule though, of course. Some people just simply cannot think for themselves!

It's more than a handful. Just accept it Roathy. Not everyone feels the same about Swansea.

How many user names can one person use on one thread. Why don't you start your own forum and just argue amongst your numerous user names.

Swansea first then Both Bristol teams
