As I said on another thread if he generates revenue for the club he's good business. But as far as I'm concerned he makes no difference to me personally, I won't go down early to see him and won't buy his merchandise, nothing personal but he means nothing to me, but I am not the target market, I'm old and a supporter anyway.

Whether people like his music, think he’s a bad role model or would buy his hoodies is totally irrelevant.
In a PSR world, our owners can’t just lump money at the club. Getting global superstars on board enhances our profile which leads to increased spending in merchandise, match tickets etc and far better advertising deals.
Or would people prefer us to be sponsored by M and P cycles with no one outside the UK knowing who we are again?

Well said 👍
A great believer in taking anything you like to wherever you want to.
I'm not one of those fans who believe a person can only be a fan if they follow a club for decades or go to matches etc. Any fan who person should always be welcomed. Strangely though as the article pointed out, many will turn up because of Snoops appearance. I am not one for glory hunting, and these fans who turn up on Tuesday (Small Amount) won't or most likely turn up on another mid week match etc. Very difficult one to assess. But sadly the world we live in success brings people. It's like winning the lottery. People suddenly become your friend and people turn up out of the blue (I imagine 😜). It's not a new thing and it is what it is. We would all like them to turn up when no celebs are there, but that's the world and we can't change it. So embrace it and hope with each little success it turns into more fans coming other time. I know from personal experience in both football and other hobbies, that all it took was something that clicked with me. And if 1 fan from one group suddenly adds Swansea as there new team alongside there Man Utd, who knows they might change allegiance eventually. I'm sure over time and years to come this can only benefit the club. Instant results on Tuesday is the objective with attendance, but long term success has to be the main goal with on and off the field in all areas. Rome wasn't built in a day. Wrexham might think it was, but it's not in Swansea and never has been.

The non release of season tickets yet is an interesting ploy. I wonder the reasoning behind it and how it will pan out. Many need to budget for this purchase and restricting the time scale won't help. I'm all for generating new fans but don't alienate existing supporters.

Totally it's a balance. The club in recent times hadn't helped it self with its communication with fans. You would like to think when and if the club grows then there customer service and overall approach to fans improves. It should be better now, but it's not look at the way they acted with the ticket issues to well my usual complaint of Swans TV. If they don't improve then a larger magnifying glass will be on them when more eyes and people see the product and it won't help there cause.
As I understand it Snoop is an American icon as an early entrant ina black music genre. Rap or hip hop or whatever it is called. His music is not memorable by his persona resonates with Black Americans.
It get the feeling he is a US version of Ossie Osborne .with a bemused view of the modern technical world with it's gadget obsession. I think he may represent living proof that folk can survive decades of using maruana to excess. A bit like the persona Alan Brazil has with alcohol and an attached grudging respect from followers. Perhaps reassuring for more casual users.
His massive wealth and huge pay days would be souce of pride to the social groups he come from. Dafydd Iwan might be a Welsh version a of a long time grafter finally getting long over do fame and respect . He seems decent sort bloke with good relations with other good people. If you find a celebrity gold seam keep mining.
Perhaps I have no idea about this? Just my thoughts.

Be interested to read your thoughts.
Mine are pretty clear.

Apparently he is going to do a lap of the pitch to introduce himself to the fans. That adds 5,000 fans and £500,000 in revenue, so that helps. What the attraction is I have no idea, but if it works, it works! Now it's over to the Swans. Those extra 5,000 fans need to be entertained. The Swans might even need to pass the ball forwards for a change! Some bright, entertaining football is the order of the day. The seeds have been sewn. Time to make hay.

I'm aware of his musical genre and acting ability as in Starsky & Hutch but celebrities are not my scene but if he can put an extra 5k bums on other wise empty seats & raise the profile of the Club who am I to complain .Hopefully he'll get fully on board with what the owners envisage he can bring and so far I can't think of any negatives tbh.

Are you referring to Antonia Fargas known as "Huggy Bear "in Starsky and Hutch? That was decades ago.

No if I was I’d have said so there was a film version released a few years back not using the original cast.
2004/2005 or there abouts Boundy Snoop played Huggy, it was okish, but like most things the re make wasn't as good as the series with Paul Michael Glaser and David Soul.

The closest anyone in Swansea in got to driving a Gran Torino was to put a white stripe on a red Datson 120Y (one such car did in exist at the time (o how we laughed) , as you say more innocent times or so they seemed now. Maybe this will be the floor show tomorrow night .

I had a Vauxhall Cresta in white with a red flash ( I sprayed it on myself ) This was well before starsky and hutch which shows how prescient I am

I saw that Datsun back in the day, it was a classic
I echo what OHL wrote, good ole days indeed.
I remember chatting to my Grandad about aging and he said that he'd rather be the age he was than 21, he's was bloody right too,
