When there were just 3000 fans dotted around the Vetch Field?
When Prosser used to wheel up and down the track along the South Stand making funny faces
When away trips to places like Rochdale, Hartlepool, Cambridge and Chesterfield were to be cherished
When you were ankle deep in piss in the North Bank toilets
When you knew at the games you were surrounded by genuine fans of the football club and not people with a passing interest who have jumped onto a bandwagon
Where you could smoke a cigarette if you wanted one
When the pasties were lovely and the tea like hot water
When you could pay cash at a turnstile to go in.
When Robbie James would stride purposefully from the halfway line before unleashing a thunderbolt
When the players were not vastly over paid. Really can any footballer be worth a salary of a cool £1m a month? Or even £1m a year.
Our story has indeed been an incredible one....but there was also something special about supporting our Swans through the bad times as well. The FA cup draw at Oxford brought back some good memories of standing on the terrace behind the goal at Oxford when I think we beat them on pens?
Good old days....

I can remember the North Bank when it didn’t have a roof. |
Yeah but how high were the interest rates? |  |

That tv gantry on the north bank. Thinking about it, it was bloody dangerous. The metal ladder with the ring around it, and having to pull down a wooden one to get you started. Then they must have froze their bllocks off in winter up there. Brrrrrrrrrrr.t |
That tv camera fell onto the head of a bloke from Loughor. Steel plate and compo.
Same bloke had a significant lottery win in the 1990s. |  | | |

Anybody remember a garage owner near the Vetch being prosecuted? I have a vague recollection that he allowed people to park there during a match but they had to hand the keys over in case he needed to move the car. Knowing that they'd be away for nearly two hours he changed car parts - brake pads, spark plugs, clutches etc. for older ones. Might be my memory playing tricks mind or an urban myth at the time. Must have been in the seventies. |  |

Loved the Vetch , how we could do with that atmosphere now, in our hour of need.
My fear of the Vetch,..….of ever needing a crap there!!!!!! |  | | |

Lets not kid ourselves...it was a great place and a crap place all at the same time.
I will say though nothing at The Lib compares to going in the North Bank and walking up the ramped entrance onto the terraces and the wonder of emerging into that space, particularly under the lights. It was literally like emerging into a wonderous place and who knew what would happen. Usually not much in fairness, but that anticipation of the walk up the ramp onto the North Bank does not exist at The Liberty.
Great times. Sht times. Both. |  |

Perch getting all brave with his old useame back. What a cretin. |
This was the time he was a cunstable propositioning homosexuals in public toilets and beating up drunk people on their way home, of course he has no affinity with this - he was the enemy.
EDIT: Sorry spelt c*ntstable wrong there. [Post edited 25 Jan 2018 0:16]
