I actually don’t mind the hype for any game.
Cardiff will always be our main game and for good reason.
But any game that has a bit of an emotional charge as matos puts it, just adds to the fun!
I hope they (Wrexham) do well, just nowhere near as well as us.
I’ve never ever had that hope for the scum and never will.

Thats Parky's team talk sorted.
Just the little boost we needed. Load gun, aim at own foot, fire.

Not sure the Wrexham players will give a toss will they?

It’s the fans that feel things, like the way it brought you to post the this site.

We are trying to make it into some huge rivalry it’s not in an attempt to piggyback on the marketing reach of Wrexham.

It’s the marketing equivalent of that meme where Alan Partridge is standing desperately shouting ‘Dan’ over and over, whereas we are standing there shouting ‘Ryan’.

I highly doubt that people at the club are thinking "I hate Wrexham, they are our rivals".

A "rivalry", however manufactured, adds something to a game that makes it more interesting to the average Swansea resident who is on the fence about whether to turn up to games.

The BBC and Sky have been forcing the rivalry narrative so the club have leant into it to get some fans more excited about the game.

If we get an extra 1/2 thousand tonight then it's obviously been a good strategy.

Welcome to Jackarmy.net. It’s nice to play a match v a Welsh side that isn’t a bubble fixture. I went to watch the Swans play Wrexham many years ago and it was a cracking away trip. Up through mid Wales and stopping off in some delightful countryside pubs. Had a food in the town centre and then went to the Turf to play pool before the match. We lost I seem to recall. We were behind the goal.

Proper weird arrogant bunch this lot are considering they're bottom half of the table?

Let's send them packing back to gogg land

Be funny if a chant started tonight of "If you hate Cardiff stand up" and all Swansea & Wrexham fans were on their feet.

Please no…that would be really cringeworthy, take it from me there’ll be plenty to chant about over this lot without referring to those up the road.

Do us a favour will you, you’ve taken the trouble to register on this site to post that rubbish…seriously you lot are more deluded than that lot up the road from us.

Increasing capacity at your ground ?? Try building a road block on the A483 first, that should stop the mass exodus to Liverpool and Manchester every week

The club have done a fantastic job marketing this fixture, it’s called show business baby!!!

I think the ones that have been here a few seasons will. The manager will. Charlton's manager called us a circus last season and that backfired on him in spectacular fashion.

It might not even register but knowing Parky I reckon it will and he'll use the 'they think we bought promotion so we'll show em' to motivate the players.

I of course could be wrong and we could get pumped. Anything is possible in this league.

Unfortunately not. Stuck in work. I was going to until it got moved to tonight. Which scuppered my plans.
