We Swans fans have played regularly against the biggest clubs in the country and even in cup finals and also played in Europe in our recent history, so no disrespect, but Bristol away isn’t seen as a big match, but just as an easy match to get too.

No disrespect either but you're really not a very big club so don't get ahead of yourself boyo. Despite your 10 year purple patch it's not exactly seen as a fixture to get the pulses racing from our perspective either. Just like Cardiff you were in division 4 getting crowds of 3,000 not that long ago, don't forget that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Red Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 Heard it all before as others have said. I quite like Swansea FC tbf, the City is a toilet but the football club i quite admire. A small plucky outfit that have punched well above there weight in the Premier League for years, it was a remarkable achievement.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How regular is that then? I wouldn’t call 7/8 years that regular tbh, most of your history has been knocking around the bottom 2 divisions, was only about 15 years ago you escaped relegation to non league by the skin of your teeth! Fair play to you though on how you’ve progressed etc, showing everyone how to run a football club in the right way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huge Welsh following, opportunity for hours and hours of drinking, and groups going into the wrong boozers. Expect lots of overtime for A+S and the lovely Heddlu boys.......... Once again all I can say is grow up and behave like the rugby fans ... I can provide you a link to the Bristol Bears forum if you’d like to **** off over there?

There is, Blackburn allocate 8,000 and Leeds have had it there this year — Swansea has 700 at both Preston and Bolton, so I’d imagine you’ll have the same up there unless it’s midweek in which case it’ll be fewer. Swansea aren’t a big club, you’re averaging less than us at home on your first season back down here. As for the away fans in home end discussion it happens a fair bit, but rarely do away fans make themselves known in the home end. Will be interesting to see if any Jacks do.

bcfcredandwhite Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 I know that there are quite a few Swansea fans travelling without tickets - I know one personally who lives in Swindon and he is meeting up with several of his mates also without tickets. I don’t know what he expects to do - I don’t think it’s POTD so he won’t be able to blag his way into any of the home areas. If the police think it’s going to be a problem then I wouldn’t mind betting they will make this one a 12:00 kickoff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over the years we’ve heard loads of teams fans say , we’ve brought tickets in the home end etc only once can I remember this happening , to a Plymouth based Leeds fan who got whacked all the way down the dolman Well he did have his dirty Leeds shirt on!!

This is the key bit I feel. Some will get in- normal enough, with geographical mobility etc. However under the radar is if they are in home ends, what they should be and will need to be.- there are home and away ends for a reason, and mixing the 2 (okay neutral zone at Fulham aside) isn't a good idea.

Bristol is about 90 mins away from Swansea, so relatively close. We normally take a decent following to the midlands, London and M4 corridor clubs, and understandably a lot less the further north you go, unless it’s an important game. 90 mins, blimey what do you drive, think you should allow a bit longer than that, can take that long to drive across Bristol sometimes ha! ha!

cidered abroad Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 What a magnificent thread. I'm quite looking forward to this match against one of the giants of world football! Do Swansea Town play in all white because they copied the Real Madrid kit or is it the other way round? And I wonder where Swansea Town would be now as a football club if Bristol City had not extended the "Old Pal's Act" to them in the last game of a season in the late 1950's. Relegation from Div 2 was avoided because City conveniently sat in their deckchairs and allowed them to win, sending Lincoln City down. I apologise for calling you Swansea Town but that's what your name was the first time I saw you losing to Cardiff City at Ninian back in 1950, and it's stuck with me!
