There’s a particularly concerning record for Wednesday night’s visitors, Stoke City. We will have a look at that in this report. The past few weeks have indeed taken their toll on Swans fans, we’ve covered it already, there’s nothing more to be said. What we want to see right now is action and leave your words in the dressing room.

The Potters come to Swansea with more than a decent record against the Swans. What isn’t a decent record is their penalty taking since 2016. It’s nothing short of shocking. As reported on Stoke on Trent LIVE there is a lot of cause for concern, the club just can’t find a decent spot kick taker. Stoke have had thirty three penalties in the league in that time, scoring fifteen and missed eighteen. And that trend continues this season, even recently. Andre Vidigal, being the latest offender against West Bromwich Albion.

Long may that continue, at least this week !

Yesterday’s feature (above) by our website’s owner/editor certainly caused a stir. And rightly so, We obviously realise that ‘The Indy’ is where most fans come for forthright views and more intricate assessment on the Swans. That article has well over 21,000 views in total and counting. Even our forum members chipped in with over 2,500 of that number. So, how was that feature received within the club yesterday ? We can tell you with an arrogance and belligerence that is openly contrary to all these words we hear about togetherness and solidarity. The brief we heard at the fans forum a few weeks ago completely dismissed. That’s where our club is at the moment. We have tried on several occasions to bridge the gap the club has opened between the Swans biggest website outside of the official channel. All we have received since day one is a shocking response from the ‘Head Of Communications’ Ben Donovan, “That depends on what you write on the website” And that well before any relationship was cut by him and the current Chairman. It’s all there for all to see - if we are challenged. Telling people not to visit a website that supports a charity thus affecting its profile to support that charity is truly shocking. At this moment in time we have an obsessed ‘Head Of Communications’ who has told many people - who will stand up at any time, stay away from Swansea Independent. Recorded, evidenced and ready to go at anytime they like. The emails (some we have) which we submitted a ‘subject access request’ on were not disclosed, yet we have some in our possession, that’s the real rub with this administration, its all words, all bluff and a complete deception to drag people in.

For anyone interested - look up the ‘failure to disclose information’ on a person held by a business, and the implications. Those implications won’t go away, not whilst this website exists. The club are sleepwalking in to a situation based on their ego, ignorance and the false security that this Swans fanbase hasn’t got it in them to react. As we have said, surround yourself with turkeys, hanging on your every word, giving you a false sense of security, and you only get fed once a year. Our belief is you get fed every day via this website. It’s for you to make your own minds up. An adult discussion is always available, But not it seems within the confines of the Swansea.Com.

And that comes from a proper Irishman.

If you want any information collected on you by Swansea City FC. Email them and include your details. They have a timeframe they have to adhere to and that’s all you have to do. And that’s for anyone regards any situation, ex employee, employee, ex players, players, fans, in fact anyone. The pressure needs to be increased. You will be surprised what you receive back. That is if they disclose what they have. It’s unwise not to do so. Currently of course information is being held back. That just doesn’t work. You can of course email this website on Swansea.Independent1@gmail.com and join many others just waiting to do exactly the same, all at once.

And all this down to a communications employee who has neither the experience nor the acumen to see the implications of his actions. Foresight is at times lost on people with a perceived position of safety. When you cast the first stone you need to have the intelligence to foresee the consequences.

Our call is simple. Sack him now for bringing the club into disrepute with its customer base by behaving and acting not only above his station but in a manner that constitutes a breach of his contract. Oh, and we have that as well, in black and white.

Since this website launched it has been a complete success especially for the brain tumour charity. Every registration increases awareness on the symptoms and provides information on how you or a family member can identify the illness

Just click on the link, select ‘another reason’ in the info field and then put ‘Swansea Independent’ in the reason info. That way they and we can see the impact of the website on awareness and donations made. We thank each and everyone of you for your efforts. Your support gives the only relevance we need to continue. Currently the website flutters around a million views a month. An ever growing website day to day.

There is no other website that wants the Swans to win as much as we do. We are connected to people who tell us most things from the heart of the club, and of course many from the outside. Things like how the hierarchy are perceived at other clubs, what their lack of experience displays in other boardrooms, ability, perception, expertise, conversational awareness, and so much more. We will leave it with this, when an organisation undermines a portal like ours whose sole intention is to raise awareness and save lives that annoys people. And it particularly annoys those who have lost relatives and friends to this silent killer, Swans fans or not.
