    Here's a question... is it fair that we exclude Rangers and Celtic whilst admitting Cardiff and Swansea to the english leagues?
    Smacks of inconsistenciy to me although the sweaties are a law unto themselves sometimes.
    Would be good to have two big teams down the road (better than a trip to Saints in terms of distance)

    As much as I agree with this, the argument for the Welsh teams is that they've got promoted through the league system whereas the Jocks just want to jump on in to the Premier League/Championship.

    A fit youngster like you should be able to walk/jog there.

    I go to all of them so you should be able to manage to do it. I won't be seeing 21 again.

    I don't think Celtic and Rangers were excluded, it was more a case of them wanting automatic entry to the Premiership and they were told it wasn't on. Just look where Rangers are now.

    It actually takes less time for me to reach Newcastle than Swansea, and about the same for Cardiff...

    The police should follow Cardiff around this year. Most Cardiff fans are decent people like us, but Cardiff have more than their fair share of ****s. I know every fan base has it's arse holes, but Cardiff have a larger portion than normal.

    Seem to remember the police marched alongside them from the ground to Central Station the last time they were here and there was no trouble at all.

    Maybe the police should have escorted the ones that travelled by coach to the coaches too. I guess lessons have been learned.
