Indeed Haydn I remember bumping into you often during away games during those years.
Even if we had won you could always find a negative argument whenever we met. You really haven't changed much ...have you?
Do you write similar stuff on the Cardiff football sites? |
I should have put this in my last posting
Why should I write similar stuff about Cardiff???
Cardiff haven’t been sold down the river like what’s happened in Swansea and that’s by Directors you thought so highly of
People living in glass houses comes to mind and that have also forgotten what they used to say | | | |

I would be grateful if you don't make up stories about my feelings regarding the sellers involved in that business of 'Taking us up to a higher level' when in fact it was taking the rug from under the squads/ the fans/ the staffs...feet.
This has nothing to do with the negativity you bring to this site, although I know you do it for a reaction just as you always did on the guestbook.
It's time we all should do what we can for our club, as they can't send the supporters redundancy notices at this time,
They still need our bums on seats. |  | | |

Well said
I support Swansea City F C and always have. It's the club and the team I support regardless of ownership
This club needs supporters bums on seats to keep it afloat......so many stories about the Tanks already having had their money back several times over.....how that would be is still beyond my understanding...what does show that in my time supporting the Swans is that there was a hard core fan base of around 3500 to 4000 we increased on this when we moved but in all honesty I have heard from many that a the PL has gone they no longer have the same desire and then go on to blame the Tanks milking the club
Yet many were happy to put money into the club whilst so called fans who saved us milked the club dry
Why really did HJ needs to pay himself the thigh salary...especially when he was well v us to the media as a model club with a so called sa3 able pay structure for the players within our means?
Why was Martin Morhanallowed to have his companies do work at considerable cost without any competitive 'tendering.......nobody questioned where the money we going then......still spending in the shop......spending in the bar but we were in the PL and all was rosy.
Don't get me wrong I'm not particularly happy with our ownership model especially given as how we were owned by locals and so called fans... it those fans who sold us out whilst they took a risk got their initial investment back many times over and more....but stil( we put more in their pockets.
Pearlman gets stick but at least he came up with the fanzone an opportunity to drink outside the ground but put money to the club instead of it being spent in the harvestoor of Frankie....yet still fans drink and put their money elsewhere...why count Dinneen have thought of that.....the Ospreys had been doing it for years
I'm no Yank fan I'm a scf c fan and it's thoracic will support the it's gone it's gone I'll do what I can to keep my club alive | |

That’s only part of the problem
Swansea City supporters over the years have been plastic supporters
The same happened in the second year of when Swansea were in the old First Division
They let Toshack and Swansea City down badly
It always make me laugh when I hear or read of supporters and posters saying that they are Swansea till I die
Only when they are winning I would say |
Youre talking about plastic fans, yet you appear to watch both Cardiff and Swansea (and support who is in the higher division) and also have a pop at Jill about how she couldnt have possibly "enjoyed those years" in the 90s when we were sh1t.
Now to me, that makes you the very definition of a plastic. Only interested in successful clubs, regardless of rivalries, and then flipflop back and fore depending on who is better at the time. You dont appear to realise that "proper" swans fans will support us, and only us regardless of whether we are PL or L2. You arent one.
Each to their own. [Post edited 23 May 2019 22:40]

What stories have I made up
That you was against Jenkins from the start or was you in favour of him
It’s only in the last three seasons that the tide changed against him.
So don’t tell me that I have made up stories | | | |

Some people have morals.
They dont want to pay mobey to the people running us who obviously dont care one iota about the club and its fans.
And as ive said in another thread, if i was a season ticket holder i wouldnt renew either. |
I agree...
I put myself on the waiting list for a ST last season and made some offers to a couple of posters on here for ones they were selling.
Up until last week I was really excited about getting one for next season and was struggling to pick a location for my seat. However, after Potter left I have succumbed to the outlook of many on here and I am at pains to agree that these Yanks don't know what they are doing.
Birch's recent comments have helped somewhat, but I am waiting to see who they bring in now before thinking any more about it.
ps. is there a deadline on buying a new ST? | |

I don't think Leon would be looking for an advisory recruitment position if his punditry career with Sky had taken off. He certainly won't be fielding offers from other clubs for anything similar. |
Maybe he just wants to help the club he loves and that loves him? | |

Perhaps that if you had read my postings correctly I first saw my first game at the Vetch in 1953, when I was eleven
Only saw them randomly from there on until I broke my leg playing football and started to watch them regularly under Harry Griffith’s and not Toshack
Toshack came 6 or was it 7 months later
Then followed Swansea pretty regularly home and away from then until 1999. When I stopped going because I had no time because as I told you before, in that I was building my house
I wonder were you there from the mid eighties till 1999??? As that’s when you knew who the true Swansea fans were |
Then fukced us off for Cardiff  | |

Morals my a**e.
If we can't afford players and are relegated I want those 'moral' supporters who have gone shopping or watch Premier League on the tele to come back and proudly announce. 'I played my part in this relegation by not supporting the team and not helping the club have enough money to buy and pay players.'
It isn't the American Group that is f***ing up our club it's them with 'morals'. |
Na mate...Season tickets aint cheap. It's a major deal for some people to fork out for one. I for one won't be buying one unless watching the boys is going to benefit me, in terms of excitement, joy, pleasure. Nothing to do with league position. It's to do with everyone working together to move forward. Life isn't all about money, and contrary to the popular belief, neither is football.
SCFC isn't a charity. People don't buy season tickets to keep the club afloat. People pay good money to watch good football and good effort. If the club don't want to make any effort then why would someone want to give those millionaire kunts hundreds of pounds that they potentially don't even have?
Just because people don't have season tickets, doesn't mean they don't support the club.
I've been watching Swans since my early teens at the Vetch. Never once had a season ticket. Does that make me any less of a fan than valley-fuking-boy or the like who sit in their regular seats and slag us off week after week? | |

Well is that a genuine excuse not to turn up to support Swansea in those days
It wasn’t as if Struel had sold the fans down the river like what’s happened now
Average attendance in the first year in the top Division was 18.23k
Second year was a dismal 11.68 average.
You say that Toshack had been approached by Liverpool
I doubt that, irrespective what Boesma will tell you
Firstly an approach would be illegal and I doubt that a Club like Liverpool would do such a thing
Anyway
Why should Bob Paisley give up the managers job after a couple of years in the job and especially with him doing so well at Liverpool
Bonkers |
"Why should Bob Paisley give up the managers job after a couple of years in the job and especially with him doing so well at Liverpool "
Shankley retired after the FA cup win in 1974. Paisley had been in the job for 8 years by 1982, that is hardly a couple of years! |  | | |

The above post is fact, not some made up fiction Haydn.
Add to that the recession in the early 80s brought a lot of Welsh fans to rethink on football tickets as a luxury.
You can't imagine how hard it was those days to even get sponsorship for a quarter page in the programme.
Fans attendance figures are not the be all of the story. |
So Toshack told you himself??????
How dull can you be
If a position of manager had arisen at Anfield
Toshack would have been the first to put his name forward and further more I wouldn’t have blamed him
Liverpool didn’t have to tap up anyone, because they knew the likes of Toshack would have applied for the managers job
I would still think you read the other Swansea forum. So read what Colin Jones wrote about 3 weeks ago
Surprise, surprise
Virtually the same that I have written
That Swansea people let the Football club down | | | |

My only concern with Birch is his supposed uncertainty over the owners’ “end game”. That really doesn’t add up IMO.
He is clearly an intelligent man, and surely he would have asked this question when negotiating re taking over the chairman’s role, so his supposed uncertainty means he either 1) didn’t ask the question (which I think is unlikely), 2) did ask but didn’t get a clear answer, which is possible, but I would expect someone like Birch to be given a crystal clear brief as a condition of taking the job (let’s face it he probably wouldn’t be destitute if he didn’t take a job with us) or 3) and the most likely one, is that he was told and doesn’t feel like he can state publicly what that is.
If the answer is number 3 then we can take everything else he has said with a pinch of salt.
Obviously time will tell, the state of the squad at the start of the season will be telling though I do appreciate trying to shift the Ayews, Baston, Montero and Carroll off the wage bill permanently is no easy task and so not fully within Birch’s control. | | | |
