I still watch the Reading game now and then as I have it saved of Sky. It will always rank as one of the best days of my life. I'll also look back at it as one of the most stressful, we all knew what was at stake.
The benefits we have gained come into full focus now. I'm delighted to read that the Welsh rugby regions have just signed a joint 'multi million' deal. Reading Planet Rugby it states that collectively the Welsh regions have an annual turnover approaching £30 mill.
That's over half of ours..It's just mental isn't it.
Yes, should have said, under half of hours and indeed a third. Four rugby regions with less than a third of the turnover of ourselves...incredible. And that isn't having a dig at rugby, as I try and get down to some Osprey's games.
The only down side for me was that when I got home after the Reading game, having driven all day, I hit the wine. The next day my daughter was competing in the Urdd Eisteddfod in Velindre.

Every time someone mentions the Reading game, I begin to curl up in the same ball as I did in my seat for almost the entire second half of that game.
When it comes to stress at a football game, I'm an odd character.
If we are losing even the most important of games I'm completely chilled. I watched the Swans go all the way up under Toshack and all the way down, was at all the key games. When times are bad, just shrug your shoulders and 'it's only football'.
But when you are nearly there, when you have nearly achieved something extrodinary, then my head just completely goes.
Preston, Hull, Reading.
It's sad to say, as it is only a game, but if I was being taken to the gallows, I honestly don't think it would be possible to feel any worse.
That's why I love the idea of Monk being manager. Those blocks, that extra 5% given, it just seems right.
Our playoff triumph was a fantastic way to do it. Winning 3-0 would have been boring. Surviving the come back made it much more dramatic. Even if 3-2 to 4-2 was probably the worst period of a football match I've experienced since 2-1 to 4-2 against Hull.

Unreal day, everytime I watch it back I find it hard to believe we actually won.
Whilst all the celebrating was going on at half time I kept quiet as I knew it wouldnt be that simple. At 3 - 2 I was on the verge of walking out as I couldnt take much more.

Indeed. Jamie Carragher writing before last Saturday's cup final, was highlighting how the new Wembley now has it's own history etc and of the games he put in his top 5, considering it's already hosted several cup finals and two Champions League final's was our play-off final.

I have form for going walkies.
Up in Bury couldn't stand it as we were also relying on Southend I believe losing. Spent the last 15 mins pacing up and down a strange little grassy area by the end where Forbes scored.
The funny part was that I got chatting to another like minded Swans fan who was also bricking it. When the final whistle went we shared a brief, bromantic, moment and shared a hug.
Next season, a big game down in Southend who I assume must have gone up via the play-offs, top of the table clash. Trundle was superb, winning 2-0, they pulled one back, walkies again and who was outside,...my new found friend. Both looked at each other and fell about laughing, Very romantic I know.
