Remember the old half time scoreboard at the Vetch at the East Bank end ?
A guy on a ladder putting up boards with the scores on and looking in the match programme for the corresponding match ABCDE etc .............
Also, anyone remember the Sheff Wednesday game at the Vetch when Wednesday fans were 'banned' from away games but then hundreds appeared from nowhere in the Double Decker singing all game our stewards were clueless but all harmless fun ............great times !!!!! |  |

Maybe a bit old for some of us, but heres the vetch in 1929. Notice how the large North Bank entrances are not there. It appears people walked up the big bank behind and down onto the terracing the other side!

Remember the Hancock's Ad on the Centre Stand roof. Weird how things stick in your mind. |  |

I remember sitting on the wall at the front of the North Bank to watch the game and being helped up cos it was so high from the floor as it went below pitch level |
Just seen this thread. That wall. Watching ankles running past. Kicking a can around in the puddles. No interest in the football at all. The joys of being an eight year old in the big city. Then back to boring west Wales where nothing ever happened. Dreaming of the next time you could kick the can around with your cousin from super cool Port Tennant and watch the Cork ferry leave from the window. Happy days. |  |

Rather ironic that the old half time letter board at the Vetch was a much clearer communication tool that the loudspeakers at the Liberty. | | | |

You also had the old five five bottle advert and the old clock in the centre of the south stand. With the old laced leather ball these so called players today would never be able to pass a wet and muddy ball further than 20 yds. | | | |

Always remember Cardiff fans in the double decker underneath kicking the metal sheeting off and fella in a garden backing onto the ground whacking their legs with a shovel 👠|  |

I remember a game against Cardiff, possibly mid eighties, when for some bizarre reason, the club placed 2 giant plastic swans on the pitch. And then a Cardiff fan ran out of the DD stand to sh@g one of the swans. Fair play, highly amusing.
Also Dwyer the Cardiff centre half. Following a tirade of abuse from the NB, he looks to see if the ref and lino are looking before flicking "v's" behind his back at the throng.
Any away player who committed a "News of the World" style indiscretion was also fair game. I remember Shilton getting a load of stick and also Moran the Southampton winger following an alleged rape charge. | | | |

The swans under 16's played in the swansea senior league Sunday league .

Crazy stuff . |
I played against the Swans youth in the Sunday League at Mynydd Newydd.
The Swans youngsters grew up fast in those days.
Crazy looking back. | |

The damaged drain running along the pitch in front of the centre stand,, known as the splash area.
Some cracking tackles around that area, unfortunately not captured on film.
I remember walking around an empty Vetch with the current manager at the time, he said he wouldn't let his dog use the north bank toilets. |  | | |

I was the lad who put the scores up for about 6 years in the early 70s. Waiting for the press association to telephone the scores in at half time. |
You dropped a few didnt you?  |  | | |

Reminds me of the time that i got to the Vetch at 3.05 ,been playing at Asleigh road ,it was against Reading ,after drawing 0-0 thought it was a good point gained as Reading were flying high ,only to get home to find we had lost 1-0 ,Trevor Senior having scored in the first 2 mins!! |
k.o at one time was 3.15pm.....for some reason. | | | |
