Testimonials 22:35 - Apr 23 with 1608 views | Liberty | Tate, Monk, Britton. Any news? Are they happening ? Would be great if combined with pre season prep. If could choose anyone, I would love a big Spanish team over here, Madrid, Barcelona, - can but dream. World cup would impact any big name players coming. | |

Testimonials on 22:57 - Apr 23 with 1566 views | Darran | You've got to give ten years continuous service to one club to qualify for the perks and I don't believe Monk an Britton qualify. They f*cked up last year with Tates but he now qualifys. | |

Monk joined us in 2004, so I think he would qualify. Britton was on loan in his 1st season, so not sure that counts and he left us for Sheffield Utd for 6 months. Unsure on the rules | |

I thought Monk qualified at the end of next season his first being 2004/2005. | |

Testimonials on 23:10 - Apr 23 with 1496 views | Liberty | Monk was June 2004. Feel sorry for Leon, goes back to 2002 on loan, joined 03 ? Sousa to blame for this one, ah well ,Testimonials are not the biggest thing, but do give fans a chance to say 'thanks for everything'. Combine all 3 on one big day. New idea, may work? | |

They don't need the money anyway. | |

Testimonials on 23:18 - Apr 23 with 1470 views | Liberty | I know years ago financial reward was main reason, but now more of a recognition thing, thats why I reckon 3 in 1 would work amazingly well and the players would appreciate it. Monk, Tate and Leon all recognised and celebrated on one day, one match. | |

We probably won't have a preseason game at home that's the norm. | |

Tour overseas One big testimonial to set season up. It would work. Get Phil and Trust to suggest to the board. It would also sort a few glitches I.e. Tate didn't have one, Leon will never have one with 10 consecutive rule, Monk ..... Curtis' against Fulham was home, preseason. | |

Thats a great idea and sure players would go with it. Liberty full and bouncing, first match before new season starts. Swans team against Hull paraded on pitch b4 hand. Could be awkward for Monk, if he is not the manager. Damn, my plan falls apart in front of my eyes. [Post edited 23 Apr 2014 23:48]

Testimonials on 23:45 - Apr 23 with 1383 views | DwightYorkeSuperstar | Monk deserves a testimonial. As does Alan Tate. Leon Britton left and so I don't believe he deserves one. He has been a great player for us but if we start handing them out to people who don't qualify then where do we draw the line from here on in? | |

He has done over 10 years and of the 3, my favourite, but I get your point. Thought a triple celebration to incorporate testimonials was perfect, but it does with hindsight have a few flaws. | |

Totally agree. We have put idea forward, hope they run with it. Alot may hinge on Monks position at end of season. | |

Once in a lifetime is enough, don't go spoiling a good thing. | |

Testimonials on 12:54 - May 9 with 919 views | Liberty | Now that Monk is manager and we know where we are. Think it would be good to look at this and give serious thought or are testimonials a thing of the past. | |

Testimonials on 12:58 - May 9 with 903 views | Tom1912 | I don't know what the rules are exactly but I don't see why a pre-season friendly couldn't be organised against a big European team and used as an opportunity to thank all 3 for their service, and donate all the proceeds to charity. They don't need the money and I think there'd be a big turnout for such an occassion. | | | |
Testimonials on 13:02 - May 9 with 895 views | scottishjack | Pre-season should be used to get the players sharpened up for the season ahead... Maybe get something organised for the end of the season, perhaps a few guest names made up of ex- teammates from the Swans v their ex-teammates from their old clubs? West Ham, Man Utd and Southampton? Strictly a charity match and a chance to say thanks... | | | |

What? We did for our first 2 PL seasons... Celtic & Betis 2011, 2012 Blackpool & a german team. 2013 we didn't as we played 1st August our first competitive game. | | | |

And I will do my best to attend if that is the case and I hope an excellent local charity is chosen to receive the money raised. | |
