I ****in loves me some statistics. As a member of this board for about a year, I have noticed one particular theme come up time and time again. That is the widely-held belief amongst Cardiff City fans that Swansea City fans are somehow obsessed with the Bluebirds. Some put this down to an inferiority complex. Some say they are just immature idiots. Such claims are difficult to quantify. But what is possible, and what I have done (thanks to having three classes cancelled today) is analyse both the Cardiff board and Swansea board to compare postings. The rationale behind this analysis was to discover how often members were posting on the opposition board.
I decided to look at the most recent 20 threads on both boards. Exclusions include threads that are 'sticky', and the word association thread (cos it's so bloody long).
I will just present the stats, and let you come to your own conclusions.
Total number of Bluebirds board posts analysed: 502 (20 threads)
Number of posts on the Bluebirds board by Swans: 74
Average number of posts per Bluebirds thread by Swans: 3.7
Percentage of Swans posts on Bluebirds threads: 14.7%
Total number of Swans board posts analysed: 772 (20 threads)
Number of posts on the Swans board by Bluebirds: 15
Average number of posts per Swans thread by Bluebirds: 0.75
Percentage of Bluebirds posts on Swans threads: 1.94%
To put it another way, Swans are 7.5 times more likely to post on a Bluebirds thread than the reverse.
Discuss!
