I took delivery of the new Swans DVD today - 'Record Breakers'.
The box contained 2 DVDs - the first contained a series of interviews with various players and Garry Monk, the second one was a month by month journey through last season with highlights of each game.
It might be my old DVD player and PC but the interview DVD was apalling. The scenes aren't 'cut' very well and DVD jumps around - all very poor quality.
Has anyone else experienced this?
It may be just me but if its not (and I suspect it isn't) then I shall be making a complaint to the club and seeking a refund, as the product quality isn't what you'd expect of an established Premier League club IMO.
Bitterly disappointing :( [Post edited 27 Jun 2015 21:05]

Do they use the shitty BBC Wales commentary instead of the proper SKY stuff? |  |

Indeed they do.... and Nev Wiltshire is the narrator.
It is shocking! Would love to hear what other people who have bought it think. | | | |

I don't buy them partly because of the commentary they use. If someone cobbled together a highlights DVD using Sky and MOTD coverage and stuck it on eBay, I'd buy it instead. |  |

Sort of related re quality. Some time ago we tried to buy some 'woolen' gloves in the shop. The price was a rip-off, but for a good cause so what the heck. The thing was, as much as we looked, we could not find a pair of marketable quality. We are not picky people as a rule, but the product on the shelf was absolute tat.
Shame that they spoil the shop by selling rubbish, so unprofessional and p*ss poor marketing. |  | | |

We have a recent history of producing shite DVD's, I'm not surprised.
And Nev ? Fck me, he was in Napoli for the away game, you can spot a new fan trying to be an old fan a mile away. Nothing at all wrong being a part of the new breed, but pretending your not and name dropping players you know is just emabressing. |  |

I didn't think it was too bad for a tenner myself.
That Nev chap was so unfunny that I felt embarrassed for him. The Radio Wales commentary is just awful. I think the makers of it probably realised that though as it seemed to be used a lot less than in previous DVDs.
Other than that it was decent enough to watch. Some good interviews and behind the scenes stuff to complement what was a great season on the pitch.
I'd happily pay an extra fiver though if they got rid of the Radio Wales commentary and got someone decent doing the narrating. Dave coaches and John Hartson have been the best ones from past seasons. I'd be happy to have either of them do it again. Although it would be good if they could tempt Rhys Ifans and his brawd to have a go in Twin Town style.  |  | | |

I don't mind Radio Wales commentary
I like Simon Davies, Rob Phillips and the other boys
Let's face it though whoever was commenting some people will still moan [Post edited 28 Jun 2015 18:29]

As I said it doesn't matter who did the commentary because fans would still moan
If we ain't first on MOTD the usual suspects are out in force moaning
the commentators from Radio Wales sound really excited when Swans pull have a great result but that ain't enough for some on here [Post edited 28 Jun 2015 18:29]

Whether it was Radio Wales, 5 Live or Talksport, radio commentary over visual highlights sounds terrible. If they paid to use MOTD and Sky commentary, I'd have no complaints at all. If it's prohibitively expensive for the money that these DVD's generate then fine, but it'd be nice to hear that from the horse's mouth. | |

Reminded me of a even worse example of the dodgy DVD`s i used to buy a few years back.Crap case.Crap disks,And crap inlay. Thankfully it was full of the Swans playing.
Must have cost them £1 to put together and that includes the electricity they used to burn the file to DVD.
Also got Jack To A King and that is not better in terms of quality of product.footage is fine of course ;)
Daylight bloody robbery -Luckily i support them so i do not mind so much but if i got charged £9.99 for say a film or music concert and got that i would have no hesitation in demanding my money back and or slapping the guy in the mouth . |  | | |

I have a long while said that some items in the club shop are a complete rip off, I recall 'retro' tops that were non branded and they were asking £60 for them, wtf is that all about?
The quality of the Swans own produced stuff is woeful to say the least and always has been, why anyone buys it is beyond me.
We seriously need to address this as club! |  | | |

I enjoyed the player interviews Fab and Cork were very good I thought. JJS with Nev was terrible. The whole Nev thing spoilt disc 1 for me. For £10 just about value for money, disc 2 reminded me how well JJS and Ki linked, what a giant Wilf was and that we have one of the best centre backs in the league. |  |

Was that the same JJS and Nev bit they showed at the awards dinner - the sound there was crap so couldn't hear it but it looked a bit cheap and nasty
And I thought Nev declared himself a Man Utd fan at the start of the first call centre series? |  | | |

I wonder how much that lardy idiot got paid to participate.
What the fook has that mugging oaf got to do with the Swans?
Someone in the club needs a good shagging over that. |  |

He is everything our new fan base shouldn't be, self obsessed and using the club for their own ends. Hangs round with certain players to up his profile locally, mans hopeless. As I said he was in Napoli and was confronted with the same allegation. Prick. | |

I don't see why the club would think that he's the kind of person Swans fans are going to want to see on club DVD's and the like. I hope I'm right in saying the majority of us would rather see an ex-player do that kind of thing. Plenty of them seem to want to break into media work/punditry, so I'm sure there'd be suitable candidates.
I think that because Swansea is a relatively small city and we don't produce or see a lot of celebrities locally, many cling to any semblance of fame. I worked at HMV while in Uni and they had 2 Big Brother no-marks down to open the new store. The queue to meet them stretched through most of the Quadrant. Personally I find it depressing, but I seem to be in the minority. | |

I can't understand why they don't use Leighton more. He's got the gift of the gab no doubt, and more interesting too. Especially if you buy him a pint before he goes on. | | | |

Well this DVD is based on fact, it's just shite, 'Jack To a King seems to be based on a massaged history to suit certain agendas. In other words total shite. [Post edited 1 Jul 2015 15:30]
