October '72 with a 6-2 win vs Grimsby, in the bottom of the double decker - crazy game in Div 3 & think we got relegated to Div 4 that season!


1975 v Tranmere then first game at the Liberty was against Tranmere as well.

1964 , was 8 at the time and remember being devastated that my dad had gone to villa park for the semi final v preston and hadn't taken me with him. Went to most games with him after that.

That was circa 1979. I cant check right now as I am at work but I think Dai Gwyther scored a hat trick for Rotherham that day ( An ex Swan)
My first game was Boxing day 1975. The first game I remember was Feb 76, we got tonked at Home by Exeter. ( Alan Beer - another ex Swan -tormented us that night.)


Ok I checked. It was 12th Sept 1978. We scored 4 goals in consecutive home games.

Its just a ride.

1980
First Game: Swans 1 1 Notts County 13 Sept

The ref got knocked out and there was a request over the tannoy - 'is there a referee in the crowd' and someone from the crowd replaced a linesman who then did the reffing.

That would have been either the Sheffield United or Stoke replays.



Edit

Misread, just noticed it was a league match!!

I’m pretty sure my first game was the replay against Sheffield United,Tuesday, 28th January 1964.( I have the programme in front of me as I type . Tangerine in colour .4d. That’s fourpence in old money.😳)
Probably not a regular until 66/67.
The programme has an advert for The Bombay Grill inside.

I think a 2-0 win against Bradford City, or a 1-0 defeat against Port Vale (hated them ever since) in 1971 or 72 I can’t remember which way around or even if there was one I saw before then. I vaguely remember Glen Davies playing in a game where we didn’t score and I thought he was Dai Gwyther, as I had never seen Dai play!

The game I remember most is one I didn’t see. We drew 1-1 with Brentford in the cup (I saw that, can still smell the cigar smoke in the VPs stand), but being 12 I couldn’t go to the replay and listened to the scores on the radio. Heard “Brentford 2” before interference kicked in. Still remember the pride and joy when my dad told me it was 3-2.

God. A lifetime of memories.

1973 I suppose. Moved abroad between 1971 and 1973 but the first game I genuinely remember at the Vetch was the international against N.Ireland with Best in 1970. I'd been to watch the Swans a couple of times before that but was more preoccupied kicking a tin can around amongst the puddles at the bottom of the North Bank than supporting the team.
