We are less than a week away from the start of a new season and you can live every moment of it here on Planet Swans with a host of stories, features and competitions that we will bring you during the course of the season - there really is only one place to keep your eyes on happenings and views from Swansea City.
As we prepare for our fourth season in the top flight, the one thing that we know people want is to hear the opinions of Swansea fans. Planet Swans has been around (in either this guise of the previous name of jackarmy.net) since 2001 and since that time has given you the news and views over what is the most exciting period ever to have been a Swans fan.
And this season we don't view it to be any different so we thought we would give you a taste of what you can expect as we set off on yet another journey as Wales only Premier League football team.
There are endless match reports on the Swans these days. One thing that changed dramatically when we moved into the Premier League is the amount of media coverage. We aim to make our match reports just more than factual reports of what happens - they will be littered with the views of a fan and written by a fan for a fan to read. You can also get involved in match reports by submitting your own views via our 'Your report' feature that will appear after every game has finished.
Again, you will read endless previews on a game so you don't want to read the same all over again somewhere else. As with the reports these will be written by a fan for a fan to read. Where did we go wrong in the last game and where do we need to get it right this time around. Just something different not a re-hash of your traditional match report that the BBC would bring you
For 24-48 hours after each match we will open our player ratings feature for you to make your ratings on how you saw the Swans players perform on that day. From the good to the bad you can rate each player out of 10 and we can see how the votes compare to give us an overall man of the match for that game. As the votes come in over the course of the season we will work towards a Planet Swans player of the season voted for by the fans with their reactions after each game.
We all have our views of how the Swans will get in in their forthcoming games so why not make your views known by entering our free prediction league? All you have to do is submit the score for the next match together with who you think will score the Swans first goal and see how you stack up against your fellow Swans fans over the course of the season. You can enter our Prediction League here
We all have opinions on events at the club both on and off the pitch and here on Planet Swans we give you an opportunity to share those views.
