Do you think you’ll have a larger attendance against Swansea or will the match against your biggest rivals Bristol city be even higher, than the Swans game at the ccs.

As we'll easily sell out its a question that can't be answered.

Probably one of the big teams like Leeds, maybe not so many at the smaller teams near the bottom like Bristol, Barnsley and Swansea?

I’ll make a prediction and that is unless you are top of the league, the only match you’ll definitely get a sellout is V Swansea.

i think the swansea games will be sold out as well as Bristol city. but Swansea matches will have more fans because its a bigger fixture than bristol

For some fans of a certain age Bristol City will always be a bigger game than Swansea.

Well it all depends really doesnt it on a number of factors.

How the teams are doing in the league

If the game is moved

What the restrictions are

I think my fellow Cardiff fans who think we will sell out 33,000+ for a Championship match regardless against either of you are living in a dreamland tbh.

Strange why do you get comfort from Cardiff selling out in a game against Swansea? Is that the apex of your ambition this season? ;)

I think the swansea derby will the last for a very long time as its obvious which direction both clubs are travelling.After this season a cup tie will be the only chance of us meeting as I see it.There will be alot of people in 2040 saying I was there the last time city stuffed the jacks in 2019. :lol:

If both teams are mid table, it’ll still sell out against Swansea

It’s not comfort, it’s reality.

With 500 Jacks coming we will need 32500 Bluebirds which is doable. :occasion5:

I think as far as rivalry is concerned, it depends on how long you have been a City supporter. For me, Bristol have always been the biggest when it comes to rivalry. We rarely played Swansea apart from in the Welsh Cup, while Bristol and us were usually playing each other in the old Div 2. Swansea were playing the likes of Newport & Wrexham, and we usually beat all three comfortably back in the days when we virtually owned the Welsh Cup. I suppose for younger fans, Swansea is a bigger game because they have had a bit of success in recent times, but the rivalry you first experience in your younger days tends to stay with you forever.

Yes that right, just as lots of younger Swansea fans, don’t really think there’s much of a rivalry with Cardiff anymore.

Have to agree being of a certain age and a Cardiff fan for over 50 years Zodiak is spot on there was no rivalry between us and Swansea it was always Bristol City.
What I’m interested to find out though is as you stated the young Swansea fan dosen’t see much of a rivalry with Cardiff,would love to know who they see as they’re rivals

It definitely changes according to who's on a level with whom currently.
I remember when the main derby game was against Swindon.

This year Bristol City will probably be a much bigger draw because they'll be challenging at the upper part of the table, whilst I think it's now obvious that Swansea are unfortunately approaching a low ebb and will probably be struggling to avoid League one.
Whether many people will want to pay to watch an easy game like Swansea I don't really know, although a lot of their fans will perhaps travel down the short distance and possibly bring their caravans, extended families and numerous dogs for the weekend.

Yes in fact didn’t we as kids on the grange end sing we hate Bristol City we hate Swindon Town in one of the chants no mention of Swansea :old:

Swansea are one our rivals but the Jack's just can't cope with the fact that for many of us we see others as bigger or equal rivals be it from a Football point of view or geographically.

We have both Bristol Clubs almost as close to us as Swansea and Newport 8 miles away whereas they only have us. Its like they want all our attention but will never get it.

Iv said it before and only speaking personally but I dislike Bristol City far more than the Jack's and have always felt that theres more of a hatred between the two City's add in the England/Wales aspect.
