What... the origin for turks has nothing to do with the jacks and nothing to do with rugby either. The town accepted a turkish trading ship when the cardiff and swansea docks wouldn't... I think turks would be a good nickname. we could sound like neef and just shout "turks, turks, turks" hmm maybe not... |

Yeah but the word `Neef` is a derogatory term in itself and belittles the Neath supporters into a low brow brigade hence my point about Turks ! If I had a quid for the number of times I have heard `He's a bloody Turk` I would retire early.. |

sorry and to add, I had never even heard of the term Turk as a nickname for the scarlets until the 90's and I 've had a season ticket since 1975. Whether it comes from an old bit of history or not, it has been pounced on by the scarlet bashers and I don't feel giving it any more prominence is the way forward.

I'm a Turk and proud of it regardless of what any Jack says. Turk is a nickname for ANYONE that comes from LLanelli absolutely nowt to do with rugby. I can't see a problem with it. I think if we were shouting Turks Turks Turks Turks Turks Turks Turks Turks Turks Turks Turks Turks at the semipro games it would wind up the opposition fans even more because they think they peev us off by calling us Turks. How wrong they are |
