James Thomas - season ticket for life 09:15 - Sep 15 with 12658 viewsCharsean

Morning guys. I got talking to James Thomas a couple of weeks ago and asked if he still follows the swans. He said that he's got a season ticket and goes to as many games as work (ambulance technician) allows. I joked that he probably gets a freebie and he replied that he didn't even get a discount. WTF!!!!
He wasn't complaining or moaning about it but I felt he was somewhat disappointed - and rightly so. I know there's been many people who helped our incredible rise but without his hat trick that day we would never be where we are today. I've canvassed quite a few fans and they believe he should be rewarded with a season ticket for life - in fact most think he should have a statue at the liberty.
Anyway I'm trying to drum up support from the fans and the evening post to get JT rewarded with something that he so thoroughly deserves.
If you're on Twitter please leave a comment on #jamesthomasseasonticketforlife

Thank you for your time

Living 'some' peoples dreams, me ? I'm a fan of football, not a fan of people, and most certainly not footballers, I'm a supporter of Swansea City and I don't want or desire to be what they are.
Not at any point.

No thanks mate

Something must stop its downward motion in order to rise. If i jumped on a trampoline i would need to stop in order to bounce back up, james thomas stopped us falling that day and we have been soaring ever since. He has had every impact on our rise by giving us the ability to.

And England wouldnt have won the world cup without winning their group games. To think they are as iconic as Geoff Hurst in the world cup final though is just looking to be awkward for the sake of it.

Well i have to say its been a joy to debate this topic, lots of good constructive comments from all.

For me its not sp much what he earnt but more to do with an iconic moment in the clubs history.

After all we could argue many should have their name on the wall,many should perhaps have a statue etc,etc.

For recognition of a point in history, a turning point in the clubs history and a FAmous hatrick i say why not reward him with something to remember the moment .

It certainly is a pleasure to have discussion without having to resort to defending yourself or being abused. Things are certainly better round here

You've never dreamt about scoring a winner in a South Wales derby and running up to the NB or East stand with the fans going crazy.

I have often dreamt about Scotty's Mrs too but that's for another time.

Maybe its just me

Thank you all for debating this. I think it's obvious were split down the middle. I still believe there's a case for JT to be rewarded. As I said... Just my onion like

Firstly I can see the arguments for both sides but I come down on the side of not giving James a free season ticket. I will never forget what he did that afternoon and for his exploits alone that season he earned a place on the Wall of fame.

As someone has said elsewhere the Trust are working towards an ex players association but giving out free season tickets to people just doesn't feel right and as has been stated why is his desire/need any greater than anyone elses

That is not knocking the people that believe it is the right think but for me it isn't and therefore it is not something I would back.

No ex players should get any free tickets .
It's a simple as that .

Unless they are invited to games by the club of course .

Give him a freebie but make him work for it. The half time entertainment needs jazzing up and he could be the very man.

I'll have a think about what he could do and get back to you all when this thread reaches 10 pages.

A season ticket for life?

That isn't the Swansea City way.

Give him a job in the coaching department, that's what we do.

He could re-enact that chipped goal each week in fancy dress or rush from the back of an ambulance waving to the crowd and then score ? Re dramatisations of him scoring in period costume and later on serve ice cream from a van to the east stand as they chant his name.

The possibilities are endless, but of course I've just realised he probably works shifts so he couldn't make it every week ? And then there's nights. Which cancels him out of having a season ticket gratis in any event, one weekend off in four - he would only sell it on twitter.

Would make a mockery of a free seat.

I like your idea of fancy dress goal chipping. We could have a poll on here weekly to see what he should wear. It would be like Mr Ben but at the Liberty instead of the fancy dress shop.

Well done on your idea. I think you deserve a free season ticket too.

Im sure that the people who feel so strongly about this will be keen to chip in for his season ticket for the rest of his life.

Well, I still work shifts and as I already own one with my lad it would probably go spare.
I work see.
I tell you what, shall I give it to James Thomas ?

Tricky one. Ask if you can have vouchers to the value of the ST in the club shop instead.

You can't give it away as you don't own it. Just 'cause you paid for it means nothing - it's non-transferable. God forbid you should want to do a charitable act like offer a chance to see a game as a prize in a charity draw (I did and was told it's non-transferable so there!)
Anyway how dare you work on days when Swans are home? Depriving those more worthy of a chance of attending any games you can't get to.
There must be a rule against that on the SCFC statute somewhere
