Great day.
The team bus waiting at the nick for Willy to be released.
Apparently Willy said "Back off" to the copper and was misconstrued as saying something else [Post edited 28 Feb 16:35]

I have it on good authority the steward who started it all regretted it immediately. Man after my own heart. | |

Drove there only realising 10 miles outside Bury that we'd forgotten our tickets so had to turn round and fly back to Blackpool to pick them up God knows how we got back in time to see Forbes's goal, happy days. |  | | |

What a weekend that was
Travelled up in a self drive mini bus and stayed for two nights at Bredbury Hall in Stockport
Had a few pints before the game. When we scored I decided to run onto the pitch to celebrate. Within three yards of getting onto the pitch I was grabbed from behind in a bear hug with a steward shouting at me “ you’re going out “!
Luckily for me ten yards to my left ( we were on halfway ) another Swans fan had been wrestled to the ground by a steward. My steward 😃 decided to let me go to help his colleague allowing me to run back into the terrace.
Back onto the pitch at the end with thousands of others to see the Police arrest Gueret for refusing to get off the roof of the dug out.
Back to hotel. Later spoke to Graham Barrow there who I think was Bury manager that day. He seemed to know Martinez although don’t know what the connection was. A fab few days. ⚽️🍺🦢
Adrian Forbes also got the last league goal at the Vetch the week before against Shrewsbury of course who had a very young Joe Hart in goal. They were great days weren’t they. | |

There seemed to be purpose especially after Jacket left, he was the manager on that day though. We were chasing everything with ambition. These days that mindset is simply not there. | |

We went up in a hired minibus as a group and stayed in Blackpool ( bank holiday weekend ), for the 3 days never was so much consumed by so few .For the match it seemed that all of Swansea was there that day I think we cheesed off the locals because Burys ST holders had to move from their seats to accommodate the hoards which filled 3 sides of the ground , a hot day ,repeated pitch invasions , toilets overflowing and drunk as a skunk , all for one goal & great blurred memories . | |

That was a brilliant day. Drove up with the Mrs and my 2 sons. Felt like we'd taken over the place. Remember being on the pitch at the end of the match, Mrs on my shoulders as willy was getting carted off!
My mate had climbed into the stand and had managed to get close to where the players were. When it kicked off with the law and willy my mate was standing by Kevin Austin. Big Kev went wading in to try and help, leaving his boots with my mate.
The next day back home in the pub my mate was in possession of a pair of puma kings, slightly worn for sale. Only a size 8 though which surprised me. Great times. | | | |

One of my favourite trips , mini bus from morriston full of slightly excitable fans , remember a car full of toffies abusing us flying past only to end up next to us stuck in traffic the pee and fag bucket found it’s way over their car 🤣 amazing seeing the ground full of fellow swans fans , I had to pull the two stewards off a fellow morriston boy allowing him to escape back in to the pitch length stand and for me to get chased and end up behind the goals , Fun day no drama to be had wasnt that type of day part atmosphere, well we all know what happened in the ground but it went a bit silly outside after when a police officer in charge of a dog let the dog for absolutely nothing attack a kid of about 12 years old who was just walking past with his dad 🤦♂️ spoiled the party vibe as you can imagine |  | | |

Offered to take a Wirral based Bury fan to the game
Pleasant trip up, not so the return but I was rather hobby and vainglorious
Spent day with SEALS in the form of Paul Holt , terribly missed, and his marvellous sons
Some of the day was a bit of a blur but it was certainly one to remember
Thanks Keith | |

Football away trip in an over filled mini bus
Old school ground
Pitch Invasions
Nice sunny boozy day
Promotion
A few thousand Swans fans
Goalkeeper gets nicked
Not been any Swans away trips like that since.
After the game listening to talksport? A Bury caller calling our fans Scum

They had never seen so many fans before, very confusing the for the local flat capped. | |
