The club has lost it's mojo with no sign of it returning shortly !
Must be quite boring for the Jacks, we are a broken opponent at the moment.

15,000 home fans and 800 away fans in a 33,000 capacity stadium. Last night was not a derby.

Pity that Cardiff is a one-club city, as it would be great to have a proper derby. Bristol City have got the Gas, Swansea have only got us. We've got both. Suppose it depends where you live, and what age you are.
I actually enjoyed the atmosphere last night. Thought the Canton was great, and fair play to the Worzels, too. Doubt if we would have got many more for a Championship game against Swansea, if they were where Bristol City are now.

Cardiff's far too small to be a two club city. I'm surprised Bristol has two clubs to be honest as neither get "big" crowds, combined they'd be one of the bigger clubs in the country like Southampton. If Cardiff had two clubs at the same level there would be less than 10,000 at each game.

Southampton? What have you been smoking?Bristol is a big city, bigger than Cardiff population wise. You also got to take into account the surrounding areas like Weston super mare, bath even north towards Gloucester. Both clubs have good support when required. Easily filled wembley when they've played there.

For me, Swansea City, due to the massive history between us both, and the fact that we always seem to be posturing up against each other for the crown of "Pride of Wales", then Newport due to them being only 7-9 miles away, and if you live in St Mellons/Marshfield, you reguarly bump into each other.

Swansea will always be #1 derby because of our history. But if Newport weren't so shite they'd easily be our main rivals.

Only recent history. Swansea were an afterthought pre 80's, much the same as Wrexham are now.
