Tony's Challenge

Tony Takes Up The Challenge

Home > Story Index >Tony Takes The Challenge

The team, initially formed by this website to play Cardiff has recently opened up its doors so all Swansea fans can join the Squad. Tony Guard a big Swansea city supporter was interested in the team after hearing that the team were trying to build bridges with other club supporters, and raise funds for local charity at the same time (Children's Burns Unit Morriston).

Tony, who runs Energy spy the free Internet service that's putting people in touch with the cheapest source of gas and electricity, has promised Swansea supporters trust a cut of all profits made in the Swansea area. Tony has also said that when business takes off (which I'm sure it will) he will be willing to sponsor the Jack Army Supporters team. In the mean time he will as a Swansea supporter play for the team. Tony who lives away from Swansea (due to business commitments) has yet to meet the team, all of whom are waiting to see what Tony is made of as a player and where he will best fit in (Tony is a midfield player so look out Phil Crocker he's maybe after that no11 shirt). Although Tony hasn't played for a while the running substitution we play will allow him to get back into the game at his own pace.

Tony is the second ex- Swan city player to play for the team as Craig Draper made several guest appearances in the Cardiff games. This time there will be no special conditions for Tony to play (2 players off for Craig to go on and no direct goal scoring)

There are several games planned but the aim at the moment is to build up the squad skills to play the Ex Swans and guests in the end of season charity match on May the 4th (Venue has yet to be confirmed). This is a Joint venture between the Royal Mail Action Team; J.A.Net supporters F.C (to raise money for football in the community) and Swansea Supporters Trust Which should prove a great and profitable day out for everyone.

All the best, Dave le rave.

Swansea City : Grimes misses a penalty in a return to bad old ways
An error strewn and tepid Swansea display ensured thousands left the stadium before the staff and players did their usual walk around at this end of season game. It wasn’t a good look as two players received red cards and any effort by the home side was lost in a static and frustrating display.
Swansea City : Last game of the season, latest injury news and the full low down on the big game
Today brings the Championship season to a close for the majority of the clubs involved, and the Swans face Millwall at 12.30pm today at the Swansea.com stadium. Just over 1,100 visiting supporters have made the journey in what we hope is a celebration of the end of the season for both clubs.
Swansea City : What needs to happen now ?
The Indy’s lead football writer, Andrew Winfield goes in deep on this weeks issues and the real problems in store for the Swans.
Swansea City : The facts on players in and out and the strategy behind it
This week has seen some bad financial news for the Swans, and of course more questions than answers yet again. That aside there is some great news from the age grade side at U21 as once again we see a player knocking on the door of the first team squad.
Swansea City : Has Andrew Coleman been in the shower for three months with Bobby Ewing ?
The changing timeline of when Andrew Coleman became Chairmen of Swansea City caused a stir yesterday, our twitter account getting well over eleven thousand views and increasing, which sent website views here in to their many thousands as well.
Swans supporters consult Kieran Maguire and when did Andy start as Chairman ?
News of Swansea City’s financial position hit home yesterday as the club announced further losses. The profit and sustainability rules are forever hanging over a club, and in Swansea City’s case like everyone else it’s a rolling three year issue.
Gwyn’s Eye View : Swansea City v Millwall
Glyn is back with his favourite stats as we build up to the last game of the season. That comes in the form of Millwall who it seems are close to selling their requested 1,148 allocation, so its down to the Jack Army to do their bit this bank holiday weekend.
The fate today’s Swansea footballers would never have to endure
Swansea City bring this season to a close on Saturday with a home game against Millwall. However, what about those bygone days when footballers had no choice but to go down the pit after their career ended, or open a toy shop, pub or retrain ? That thought would petrify todays modern footballer.
Jamal Lowe : Still to be contacted regards his future at Swansea, Langstaff update
We have been told by numerous Swansea fans of a chance meeting in a service station between Jamal Lowe and those returning from Norwich yesterday. Nothing in that or indeed the conversation they had yesterday. Indeed there has to be some interpretation from what we know already on Jamal Lowe.
