My head is the size of a house right now. We all thinking that the future of swans fans in America rests on my shoulders? That jack swan magazine has the power to greatly increase or decrease our popularity on the other side of the Atlantic?
I'm seriously chuffed. Thank you all! |
I seriously doubt many have gone past the front cover. | |

Isn't all this "outrage" a bit pathetic? It's a picture of a burning flag ffs! I've seen this image hundreds of times on the front of national newspapers and not been in the least bit offended! To think the same people were probably defending Charlie Hebdo and their much more offensive front pages last month! I agree that it is an inflammatory image (no pun intended), but anyone offended need to get some perspective. He hasn't beheaded anyone ffs! |  | | |

I just find it funny that when your little mag was in its infancy, you came on here and were made fun of for your illiteracy among other things. You stuck with it and to your credit, you've made it in to something that people are aware of and (some) enjoy.
Don't think you can make controversial statements and not completely lose all you've built up. |  |

Burning the flag of any country is usually controversial, so yes.
If you ever show a Welsh flag burning, then to me it is likely to be controversial and probably offensive, depending on the context it was done.
You have done it for a reaction , got one, so live with it.

Genuinely appreciate those words. Reality is that what has made jack swan different from others is that we have been controversial and pushed boundaries. As you all know, I can't write for shit and Darran may not but many like the magazine because it is different. Because we print jokes that's on the border line.
This cover is a dig at how unwelcoming we are. Not a dig at the USA. I don't care where any investment comes from yet the uproar about foreigners coming in was insane. We already have foreign members of our board, it's irrelevant. People were against this deal before anyone knew jack shit just because they were yanks. That's what the cover is about! The fact that everyone assumed it was in some way anti-American kind of backs up my point I think. The words "I think they got the hint" is just that: not welcome. But not by me. | |

Oooooo wasn't expecting such interest. Its always lovely to hear from you all :)
First thing first, I didn't burn the flag, that would take going to some lengths. I assume the picture was taken by some terrorist in the Middle East, I paid no royalty to that terrorist before someone starts slating me for financially backing ISIS.
You read what you like into the cover. I always try and make the cover eye catching and something which will make people who haven't seen the magazine before look at it and ideally pick it up.
You seem to all think that the cover is some dig at the United States. It isn't.
Must admit that a pet hate of mine is people who are 'offended' on behalf of someone. If anyone is genuinely offended then please allow me to explain :) If not F"ck off :) |
You're a clown.
I also hate the fact that people 'choose' to be offended by things. There is too much of it. But you are representing the Club and the City and the Club i follow. Therefore you are offending me by offering the World that this is our view. It is NOT mine and is NOT that of the majority of our supporters.
We are a Global business you muppet. Keep trying to wriggle out of it with your excuses, but that is an absolutely awful show of disrespect to the Club and your fellow supporters. I certainly wont be touching that rag, and i can assure you that youll be losing an awfullot of advertising revenue if those businesses see it. They wont want any of that.
Clown. |  |

If you don't mind me saying so, I think you completely missed the point of the anti investment feeling. It was very very little to do with the nationality of the people involved and everything to do with the intentions of those people and, for that matter, the intentions of the (largely local) people that were planning on selling to them.
Perhaps that mischaracterisation is why your 'ironic' cover is being misunderstood? | | | |

I think jackswan makes an interesting point, but you are spot on here. We are incredibly wary of ANYONE who wants to "invest" in our club as we have been burned before. Personally I think if it ain't broke, don't fix it. We have been very successful with our current setup and I would like the club to continue with its current model. But some may argue that we have all become afraid of change! | | | |

I don't think that's true. As soon as there was rumoured to be foreign investment there was a feeling of unease. Before anything. People were talking about Vincent tan and how we will be like them just because they were foreign. This is going back months that has been the feeling by huge sections of fans. I couldn't care less where our board are from | |

I'm laughing at you, not the murders. Obviously you fail too comprehend that comparing peoples dislike to a picture on the front of a swans fanzine, cannot in anyway be connected to their opinions on an act of terrorism resulting in the deaths of 12 innocent people. | |
