I think James has made a perfectly valid point. Maybe not most of Cardiff's support comes from Rhondda and the valleys, but certainly a significant number do. Scroll through the contributors to this very thread and you'll see that they hail from such places as Treharris, Tonyrefail, Blackwood, Tonypandy, Aberdare, etc, etc. Therefor some of your supporters come from some of the most deprived areas, not just of Wales, but of the whole of Britain. So next time you look down your long noses at the good folk of Swansea, please remember that many of your own are from far more deprived, and undesirable parts of Wales than Swansea.

Yes of course, my pleasure..

Although I don't know why I bother. Most folk on here seem content to ignore the facts as they are, and continue to label the population of Swansea as gypo's etc. Seems a rather retarded thing to do given that it is the city of Cardiff that is swarming with the dirty, smelly, tinker types. I can only conclude that these same retards are unwilling to click on the link for fear of having to face upto the reality of the situation. I understand that for some it can't make for easy reading, and that sometimes the truth is hard to swallow, but FACTS are FACTS. :old:

Lets have a look at your info then Magicbaps -

The response and quality of the count can be affected by the following factors:
• local authorities not completing their returns;
• inadequate counting practices;
• geography – particularly in large rural areas which require correspondingly large resources to map all sites; and
• Gypsy and Traveller mistrust.

Meaningful comparisons of total figures for Wales over time are limited by local authorities who do not take part in the count. It is therefore advised that comparisons over time should only be made for local authorities that have taken part in all relevant counts.

Swansea (a)........1111

a) Authority did not take part in all counts
(b) Wales figures only refer to the local authorities that responded in each count.. Data item not availableTable



Bit like going into administration twice and then shouting about another club (not in admin) going broke.
Still you're premier league and there is no disputing that blah blah blah.

wouldnt class the blackwood area as deprived mate.. you only av to look at the property prices to see that!! i would choose a lot of valley towns and surrounding areas to live in well before swansea.. we also have 3 of the highest ranked secondary schools in the country , dont see many swansea schools with a goverment ranking of 1!!

Property prices? Average price of a house in Blackwood finally broken the £25.000 mark has it? Congratulations, you must be over the moon. Didn't realise that Blackwood had become some kind of educational centre of excellence either. Christ, folk must be flocking there from all four corners of the globe for a better life. :lol:

Thats one way of looking at it. Personally I think the tinkers are drawn to the bright lights of the capital coz it reminds them of the stinking slums of Belfast that they grew up in.

I'm a "typical Cardiffian" and I believe we're far friendlier than the "typical Swansea person."

I've been a commuter between Neath and Cardiff for the past 19 years and the number of people travelling from Swansea to Cardiff has increased in recent years. We must be doing something right.

From which part of my post did you draw the conculsion that i'm envious of Cardiff? I thought i'd made it quite clear that I'm perfectly contented living in Swansea. You on the other hand, and correct me if I'm wrong here, are from Cardiff, and loved the place so much, decided to move to Neath?? As for your observation that there are more people travelling from Swansea to Cardiff in recent years, that sort of proves my point. People are happy to commute to Cardiff if thats where they happen to work, but choose to live in and around Swansea. Just like you.

No, it doesn't. There is a traditional community spirit here that I suspect you wouldn't find in your "cosmopolitan" city. Please don't confuse close knit with incestuous. That's something you'd have to ask your cardiff tinker caravan dwelling bretherin about. Shouldn't be a problem, there's plenty of them about. Don't know why you would think swansea is stuck in the 80's? Have you actually been to swansea in the last 15 years? There has been massive regeneration of the dock and marina parts of town, and even the city centre is improving. Nothing on the scale of cardiff admittedly, but we more than make up for that by having a beautiful coastline, and gower peninsula on our doorstep.

I love the way the jacks claim the gower as their own but llandarcy, dunvant and bonymaen arent parts of jackland....

I last went to your crap town 5 or 6 years ago and it was bloody awful-not as bad as Liverpool or brum but a crap hole full of smack heads and drop outs. I love the way you keep quoting about Cardiff's traveller community. Rover Way is kept apart from the rest of our majestic city whereas your crap bits (dyfatty, high st) are bang in the middle.

Re: WHY CARDIFF AND NOT SWANSEA?

Fri Dec 16, 2011 10:43 pm

Wilts, you and I have been down this road before. Even you eventually admitted in your own grudging way that I was right, and that the gower is very much a part of Swansea. I should know, I spent the first 28 years of my life living down the gower. Do I really have to dig up the link? I believe your words were something like.. we all know you're more or less right, but i don't care. Ring any bells? Yes, rover way is somewhat tucked away, but we all know its there. Same with Shirenewton. You seem to have conveniently forgotten about your "crap bits". Splott, adamsdown, riverside, ely, llanedeyrn, pentwyn, st mellons, grange town, bute town, etc etc. Would you call these places majestic? No, I thought not.

Swansea has far more shit areas than its more illustrious neighbour. My brother had the misfortune to live in swansea a few years back and the only decent area is killay. As for your argument about the Gower being swansea we all know that it comes under the wider administrative area. Places like Penarth are in the admin area of cardiff but are not actually part of the city of cardiff just like Llangennech , Caswell Bay etc are not part of the city of swansea.

I believe your words were something like.. we all know you're more or less right, but i don't care. Ring any bells? Yes, rover way is somewhat tucked away, but we all know its there. Same with Shirenewton. You seem to have conveniently forgotten about your "crap bits". Splott, adamsdown, riverside, ely, llanedeyrn, pentwyn, st mellons, grange town, bute town, etc etc. Would you call these places majestic? No, I thought not.

Swansea has far more shit areas than its more illustrious neighbour. My brother had the misfortune to live in swansea a few years back and the only decent area is killay. As for your argument about the Gower being swansea we all know that it comes under the wider administrative area. Places like Penarth are in the admin area of cardiff but are not actually part of the city of cardiff just like Llangennech , Caswell Bay etc are not part of the city of swansea.


You really know nothing whatsoever about Swansea, if you think Killay is the only decent area. Is Mumbles a dump? What about Derwen Fawr? Newton? Bishopston? Gowerton? Dunvant? Penclawdd? Three crosses? West Cross? Black Pill? Are they all dumps? No, they are not. Yes, Swansea has its rough council estates, but in my experience they are no worse, and in many cases not as bad as some of the rougher parts of Cardiff I mentioned earlier.
Moving on now to the "gower isn't part of Swansea" part of your arguement. Simply put, it is. Firstly Penarth has got nothing to do with Cardiff. It is in the same proximity, geographically speaking, but Penarth is in the Vale of Glamorgan. Therfor, nothing to do with Cardiff. You mentioned Caswell bay is not part of Swansea. This is the nearest hotel I could find to Caswell bay..
140 Langland Road,
Mumbles,
Swansea, <<< This bit means it is within the city of Swansea!!

This same rule applies for every single address on the entire gower peninsula. Every single resident will end their address with the word Swansea. Nothing to do with wider administrative area's. It simply means that the gower is part of the city of Swansea. Just because they are not in the city centre, doesn't mean they are not part of the city of Swansea. Please tell me you're not still seriously disputing this?
