Club Deny Competition Bias
Club Deny Bias Claims |
|
Swansea City have quickly stepped in to diffuse accusations that their recently re-introduced 'Face In the crowd' competition is fixed. Enraged fans at the printers of the programme leaked the picture below which they stated showed that the club were favouring certain high profiled spectators in the competition ahead of the every day fan. However, a club spokesman said "Pictures for Face In The Crowd are completely random. Our official photographers take many photos of the crowd on matchday and Doris the tea lady draws one out at random and then picks one person from that picture whom we circle and ask to claim the prize. There is no bias and there is no guarantee that the winner will always come forward." So that is what the club spokesman had to say - you make your judgement by looking at the photo from next weekend's programme.

If you saw the match, please give us your player ratings and a mini match report. The club released the annual accounts for the 2022/3 season this week, and despite the headline figure of an overall loss of £33.7 million, we’re not in danger of any points deduction for now. But the accumulated losses mean that player sales will be inevitable in the summer if we remain in the Championship. Stuart Dallas battled hard for two years to return to the game after his serious injury, but has now had to accept that he can no longer get back to the level of fitness needed to play the game at the top level. Club Chairman Paraag Marathe led the tributes, and the player has sent an emotional open letter to all the Leeds United fans. |
