Will be going to Hull - hardly heroic of me tbh as its only an hour & a half away on the train. Glad I got my ticket early - didn't expect it to be a near sell out being as its such a way up from Swansea. There's no doubt that the way Swans are playing under PC has a lot to do with these big turn outs by the fans - if we were still mired at the bottom & playing garbage I don't think so many would be turning up. I'd be surprised if we don't break Hull hearts this coming weekend. | | | |

A mate of mine was surprised that a good twenty plus were on the train back to east anglia last season after the West Ham game. The real surprise for him was the lack of Welsh accents. I think we underestimate how far our support now ranges. [Post edited 7 Mar 2017 16:49]

Yes that is pretty surprising. Some of them might be new converts with no connection to south west Wales at all, but most probably have some link to the area: relatives, work or possibly the wife! I get the odd confused comment from work colleagues who find out who I support and then, with a frown on their face, will ask something like, "Well, uhm, where's the Welsh accent then?" I ended up getting converted pretty quickly after arriving in Oct. 79 to go to uni. By Xmas I was pretty much addicted - to the point where I didn't move back to England for 25 years! | | | |

Also the Uni retains students interest far after they have finished their courses in Swansea. I have a Pompey fan who went to Uni in Swansea and says he always looks out for their results as a second team and a soft spot for. | | | |
