NEW SWANS BOOK

The Swansea City Supporters' Trust is delighted to announce the availability of a second commemorative book produced in conjunction with Swansea University as part of the Swans100 Project. The first book, “Swansea ‘til I Die", told the story of supporting the Swans for the first 100 years, using the words of fans themselves. A limited number of copies are still available from the Club Shop.

This second book, "Swansea Moments — a hundred and one years of supporting the Swans”, supplies a timeline of the first century of Swansea Town/City, telling the story through key dates. Dates which include triumphs and disasters, brushes with extinction, humiliations and redemptions. It was decided to add the 101st year to cover the Swans’ first ever major cup final victory, and a return to European competition.

The book is a "potted history” of the club; a timeline of the Swans from 1912 right up until the triumph at Wembley in the Capital One Cup. It has over 190 pages packed with many unseen pictures and is a story of ups and downs and ins and outs and downright hilarious bits in between - a classic football story. But it is about Swansea City, our club, the first Welsh club to play in the Premier League, and a source of pride and pathos for the people of Swansea and South West Wales for the last century and a bit. Enjoy the story - it was made possible by people like you.

The book is available at £15.99 from the Swans Club Shops at Cwmdu and the Liberty Stadium and on line from the Club Shop website.

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.
Brave Swans in memorable game at Carrow Road
It was a pulsating game to watch and very much one of my favourite away games of the season. The Swans looked an entirely different side to that we saw at Middlesbrough when it is clear a catalyst for commitment was agreed behind the scenes at Swansea City. To a man every player grafted and wore the shirt with pride. To see the players really acknowledge the Swans support at Carrow Road this afternoon was emotional.
