Many years back the area had a load of fans from the top 7 sides in the premier pretty much everyone had a top flight side.
With us now being in the prem ourselves for the 6th season has this demographic changed much with football supporters in Swansea? Do most now follow the Swans or are we still the minority club ? |  | | |  |

Am I still allowed to take in a Hearts match when I visit Edinburgh? Or should I feel bad cause I'm only allowed to support the Swans? |  | | |

As long as you keep supporting the No1 Welsh team we will allow you to watch some local football as well.  |  |
| We shouldn't all be tarred with the same brush you know! |

This thread was about people from Swansea who live in Swansea and support Man United. I doubt anyone is gonna get antsy about someone watching Hearts when in Edinburgh. | | | |

Most Swans fans who grew up between the mid 80s and late 90s had a 'top club' that they followed, whether they like to admit it or not. |
And older ones to. In the 60's/ early 70's even those of us that went down the vetch had our second team. Effectively our TV team that we supported on match of the day/ big match and in school as well as the swans.
Without sounding like one of the 4 Yorkshireman - no video recorders so match of the day/ the big match was something not to be missed and the only live game on TV tended to be the FA cup final.
Looking back on those days understandable to have that second team. | | | |

A few kids walking about Pontllanfraith with Swans shirts on today. Wales is turning white. But the shirts were last years away! |  |

My friend went on safari to Tanzania a couple of weeks back. The guide asked him where he was from. He replied "Wales". Guide didn't have a clue. Asked to clarify he replied "Swansea". Guide immediately beamed and said "Ah, Swansea City, Premier League!". Can't over estimate how important us being there is to the city. | | | |

I'm all over Swansea with work and the vast majority of kids have Swansea shirts/trackies so much so that other teams stand out. Which is great by-product of Prem football if nothing else. |  |

When my two boys were in primary school they had mates whose parents supported Liverpol and Man United and unfortunately, my sons copied their mates and started to "support" those 2 teams, one was a Liverpool fan and the other Man U. Much to my disgust they even had a few tops as pressies from the families.
Being a patriotic Welshman from Port Talbot, I cant say I was particularly pleased with this situation. So, during the Sousa season as and when I could I took the kids to see a few games, football wasn't great but it was a start. We don't get to as many games as I would like as I work most weekends and getting tickets can be difficult, but the kids are hooked on Swansea. They have the tops, water bottles, are members of the cygnets club, watch the swans on tv etc so the bonds are being built. Moving forward, we need to make sure the next generation of local children become Swans fans instead of Man U, Chelsea, Arsenal etc, with good media exposure, links with schools and with initiatives like kids for a quid at lower profile games it can happen.
I will probably take some stick for this, but If a South Wales kid isn't going to support Swansea I would rather see them support Cardiff or Newport than one of the big teams. [Post edited 5 Aug 2016 0:33]
