Great photo and reminder what it's all about.............cant beat a face and enthusiasm of a young one being at a game.
The smell of the grass, the lights at a night game, a warm pastie(cold on one side at the Vetch) and feeling the hair on the back of your kneck.......special moments. | |

Went with an uncle back in the seventies, I know we won. I couldn’t have been more than thirteen. But what a tear up in the ground. One of my first experiences of such skullduggery. | |

I played rugby up there several times both league and union and you not only have to deal with the weather you have to deal with the monsters that play the game.
That photo is brilliant 👠| | | |

Going to watch Neath in the 80s and 90s with mam and dad, seeing them batter teams into submission, the smell of wintergreen will always take me back to those magical days | | | |

I spent a bit of my time down the Talbot Athletic ground, Boxing day game against Neath was never a good thing in the 80s/90s which ironically was my days down there.
I remember the drama when Matthew Mccarthy crossed over to you lot 🙈 [Post edited 9 Jan 2023 16:40]

Remember when Neath put a century on Aberavon (around 96) the Neath announcer said 'Mrs Mainwaring has left the building' | | | |

I was also privileged to see JPR in a Bridgend shirt, the Gareth Bale of rugby. | |

Great photo. I think I would have moved to one of the undercover areas though. | |
| Swansea Indepenent Poster Of The Year 2021. Dr P / Mart66 / Roathie / Parlay / E20/ Duffle was 2nd, but he is deluded and thinks in his little twisted brain that he won. Poor sod. We let him win this year, as he has cried for a whole year. His 14 usernames, bless his cotton socks.

Can't remember that one(conveniently).
My mate had a season or 2 down the Gnoll but was shipped out with an ageing Malcom Dacey to Bonymaen.
I had a couple of seasons in my younger days at Britton Ferry, Brian Thomas? House was over looking the pitch.......was told that there was a 6ft drop from one side to the other, never easy playing up hill in the 2nd half. 🙈
Can't beat grassroots be it Football or Rugby. | |

When it was announced Gareth Llewelyn was going two win his first Cap he was working with my shift, if you call it working...  The Western Mail came in for a picture of him, it was taken with him holding my Swansea City Mug. | | | |

Think that was just after Neath played NZ ?
Loved that time, luckily the away trips were mostly all within an hour or so. | | | |

Unlucky to watch us lose at home in 1965 to Workington 1-6, and then approx 3 weeks later lose away to them 7-0. | |
| Everyday above ground ... Is a good day! 😎 |

I remember it well LR.
It was only 3 years after I started supporting the Swans, always on the railways sleepers, at the 'Town end' of the Vetch.
The Workington Town sequence of results you mention was shocking at the time. First match at home, second away that season.
Then the third 'tonking,' away in September the following season.
Date Match Result Score Competition
14 Sep 1965 Swansea Town v Workington L 1‑6 League Division Three
04 Oct 1965 Workington v Swansea Town L 7‑0 League Division Three
16 Sep 1966 Workington v Swansea Town L 6‑3 League Division Three
Strangely, the home fixture that season (Jan 1967) saw us win 5-2, Followed by another 5-2 home win in October the next season.
No shortage of goals in those five consecutive matches v Workington eh?
Swans 14 v Workington 23. | | | |

Do people actually get upset if the players don't come over and clap the fans at the end of the game? I could see why a child would but not a grown man or woman...
I agree that it's probably nice to be acknowledged but do people actually leave with some anger towards it? | |

Maybe they should just wave to the camera to acknowledge the people watching on monitors, instead of the supporters who spend hundreds if not thousands of pounds travelling to support those same players all over the country. | | | |

Maybe…they shouldn’t cry about it either. | |
