TV Tom Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 3 minutes ago, cidered abroad said: 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! You mean it’s not Swansea Town ?

Swansea are only taking 3,500 to Bristol. What I said was in my opinion we could have sold double that number for the match in Bristol. Think MK Dons let Wolves take 10k + not so long ago that was a league game https://www.expressandstar.com/sport/football/wolverhampton-wanderers-fc/2014/03/31/black-and-gold-day-of-delight-for-wolves-fans-at-mk-dons/ ok not quite 10K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julie and her mates won't have a clue what is happening as usual. The scene is set for potentially a lot of public disorder and the club has played a major role in this. Forget the bollocks about creating a great atmosphere in the ground, and consider the risk of encouraging people very loosely connected with the away team to visit the nearest English club where they have been spanked in the relatively recent past. This is not a normal fixture in terms of who is attracted to make the trip and if nothing happens in the BS3 postcode, then something happening in the city centre will be equally football related.. Doesn't bother me, but if it happens forget all the "knuckle dragger" comments and consider how easily it could have been averted or at least limited.

Thank you for this. i am sure that the majority of fans from both Swansea and Bristol city are looking forward to a great game, in a stadium full of noise and atmosphere. this game has no restrictions and rightly so, we as a police service both here and in South Wales have listened to the majority of fans and agreed that the game in Swansea and here should be without restriction. We work closely with fans representatives from the bcfc supporters trust to ensure their views are sought when policing any game , I don’t see how having no restrictions encourages people to visit and cause disorder, it merely allows genuine fans to enjoy the game. The view of the policing operation on the day is always to allow the 99% of fans to enjoy the game/ day and the 1% that are there for other reasons will be dealt with in a positive manner where when charged and convicted banning orders will be applied for at court. Disorder is easily averted by the minority by not seeking it in the first place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for causing trouble - Nah, don’t think so. Plenty of noise and a great atmosphere. Should be a loud cracking atmosphere, come and enjoy yourself, but hoping you won’t leave with 3 points !!

Like the ridiculous kick off times and also the rough treatment innocent supporters seem to receive from your South Wales colleagues whilst over there?

We will no doubt discuss the details of that fixture if needed. Same repeesentations are made from both sides of fan groups so we will need to see what happens when/ if the time comes next season!

Just to be clear....when you say ‘there’s no club in the country...’ are you referring to Wales or the country that allows you to play in its league?

Swansea fans as far as I’m concerned are going to Bristol for a day out, few drinks, and hopefully contribute to an awesome atmosphere. Haven’t heard of any Swansea fans making the trip looking for trouble. So you can leave your pitch forks at home..... ITK are you ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
