Very strange and a tad embarrassing . I know quite a few , and the closest they have been to either city is probably Brecon :)

Strange indeed. Annis have you heard Sludge Factory v Leighton James from the Resl Sports phone in from a couple of years ago? Talks about this exactly. If you’ve not heard it, it’s on YouTube. Worth a listen.

I agree mate. When my dad asked if I fancied going to watch Cardiff v QPR (league cup 76/77) I thought ‘great, I get to see the side that’s currently 2nd in the old first division’.

So true. It’s the in-group out-group psychology. It’s a natural phenomenon but it tends to get the better of the less insightful. Still, I do genuinely hate the Jacks but they’re not actually 100% human right?

Probably summed it up there with the 6 nations reference. Most plastic football fans I know have never been to a Wales football match but avidly watch the six nations (on tv of course) but have never been near Cardif Arms Park, Rodney Parade etc
