Skewen 15:49 - Apr 7 with 8158 viewstaffpunk

I know I should probably be posting this on AA's site, as there's always people on there saying how these areas are 'Mostly Blue' , but I thought I'd try here instead. I'm going to watch my local Egg team in the 1/4 final of the Cup here on Saturday, any decent Pubs/Clubs in the town/village, will be stopping for a couple of hours before and after game, any recommendations. Also, is the clubhouse by the field, can you swig while the games on etc...will it be safe to wear my Bluebirds pin badge, or will the Skewen Boot Boys be prowling the streets, looking for Ystrad Rhondda blood?
Any advice gratefully received...

Nah, you'll be alright...

Rugby club is right next to the pitch, failing that the travellers well is probably closest, then you got the Colliers which is quite nice these days.

The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.

There's also crecis where you can experience the best ice cream in the whole skewen area, there is a taffy's if you want a hair cut and a happy homes furnishers in case you want to buy some skirting boards. Skewen offers a fun day out for all the family whatever the weather.

Not sure, it was done out relatively recently and I think there's new management but it used to be a big swans pub.

You'll have no trouble from us decent folk of Skewen. Just avoid Caewathen Estate or take your shotgun ! (Only joking - lots of nice folk living there)
Rugby club is great for watching the game (not that I do - wrong shape see) and does a decent Guinness. Also shows Sky matches, etc and used to have entertainment on occasions (not sure if they do now)
Enjoy and welcome to Skewen anyway

They used to do blue light discos there when I was in school as a way of keeping kids off the streets and out of trouble. I fingered a girl for the first time just to stage left in the main function room, up against the curtain. Good times.

You living or used to live up this way then ? If so, did you go to one of the local education establishments ? (Hillside doesn't count ! )

Cheers one and all, ta for the helpful advice. I will check out the Pubs mentioned, won't have time for a haircut, don't really want an ice cream, but will check out the plaque in the club, '[girl's name unknown]... was fingered here'.

Don't go to Bridgend Taff, it's all jacks nowadays.

Plenty of young uns knocking round Barry too with swans tops, how times have changed.

Good luck to them, things like that don't bother me in the slightest. These 'glory hunter' type supporters will mostly soon bugger off if you drop out of the top League for more than one season. Both our team's supports are very similar unfortunately, as past fluctuating crowds have shown all too well. Looking forward to my day out in Skewen.

One of the most level headed forum dwellers for many a day.

Edit, I was speaking to Cobley the other day, has nothing but good things to say about you 👍

I believe so - never been there myself (honest!) , but it still looks as if they are doing business there (and i don't mean selling cars ! )

That car sales place is dodgy as hell too, they had Mercedes and jags for sale for about £400.
