Why?
Who is going to come on here tonight and explain?
Yes, I know you pay your money and you can do what you like.
Yes, I know I shouldn't let it bother me.
Yes, I know it has nothing to do with me.
Yes, I know I should be watching the game.
But, what's your excuse for not supporting your team for 90+ minutes after they performed so heroically in Italy a few days ago. Some people really need to take stock and think what it is they are watching in front of them because it wont last forever.
Having said that, neither will your "support" I guess.

Another fecking moaning thread.
I guess it's alright for the lads that drink in the bar before and after half time though?
...and getting to their seat 10 minutes after kick off?

I parked over by Lytes Ladders. I left on full time and was home about 20 minutes later. it took me around fifteen minutes to walk to the car and around 5 to drive back up to the house.
Maybe if more people car shared, used the buses and trains and actually accepted that when nigh on 20000 people leave a sports ground, there will be heavy traffic and hold ups.
It is true our infrastructure needs work though. Shutting off a whole length of dual carriageway after a game is just crazy. |
When i got back to the car park everything was stationary.
We could learn a lot from Stoke City. Their ground is in a similar environment to us and what they do is turn the two way roads into a one way system which got everybody out very quickly on to the principal A roads. Its a bit bit of a loop but its effective. |  | | |

We left after the final whistle, soaking wet from being in the 3rd row of the Lower East. Walked up Siloh back to the car off Eaton Road in Brynhyfryd, to find some 'kind' person had removed both my front windscreen wipers. 140-mile drive home in the rain without any wipers was not much fun. Please PM me if anyone knows of a windscreen wiper thief operating in the Brynhyfryd area... | | | |

What I don't get about the whole leaving early is, all (or at least the majority) of those who go to the game presumably enjoy football, for all of it's thrills and spills.
Now, the last 5-10 minutes are normally the most crucial in a match. The most tense and exciting moments of the game normally come at the end of the game (particularly for us lol).
It's comparable, for me, to going to the cinema and leaving before finding out what happens to the killer.
I know some people have mobility problems and that is fair enough, but I have never fathomed why anyone in their right mind and good health would ever park so close to any venue that will obviously have a traffic nightmare occur at the end.
Whenever I have taken the car, I park opposite the Commercial. A 10 minute walk from the stadium and by the time I get there, the traffic has died down enough to drive home with no problems. I'd rather that than sit in traffic for 10 minutes. | |

Been saying this for a while.
I would like a two lane road from the entrance to KFC/Parc Morfa going up passed the Tennis centre. Two lanes out from the Car park there and Morrisons/official parking. There is room for it. A few cones out and signs and hey presto, double the movement of traffic up to the roundabout where traffic disperses and is free flowing.
As for those slating me on here. Do one as you know I am clearly right, and you can see people are starting to recognise you're in the wrong. | |

People who leave early for a good reason (illness, public transport links and times (which are cr@p!) work etc) cannot be included in this sort of debate.
The public transport operators do need to get their act together, for fans all over the UK (but that's a different debate.)
I know I'll get abuse for this opinion but I suppose the rest who leave early demonstrate the difference between fans/ supporters and customers.
Fans/ supporters will stay and try to gee the team up to get to the final whistle, hopefully pulling a result out of the bag.
Customers will leave because they're bored, wet or some other inane reason.
It is embarrassing to see any stadium emptying long before the end of a game.
But hey ho. You pay your money, it's your choice.
Just didn't know we had gained so many customers since hitting the PL. |  |

This^. I could drive but chose to get the bus in / walk back into town because I want to see the whole match. I suppose I'm lucky in that I live no more than about 5 miles away, but i bet plenty drive and leave early who live closer. It's their call. But I think we pay plenty for the tickets, so I'll be buggered if I'm going to miss a second of play 
The infrastructure is poor though and we'll struggle with a bigger capacity. The most obvious thing to do, although costly, would be to put a halt stop on the rail next to the stadium. Better parking for those coming in from the motorway would help. And they need to work on the log jam that is the Hafod. Why the feck they don't use the bus relief road for evening and Sunday matches is beyond me. No point having it if they are not going to use it. Oh, and more buses at start and end would be nice. it's not as if its' a great surprise that there will be higher demand. Getting back into town is almost impossible - they should have 10 buses lined up ready to go. |  | | |

That's shocking, maybe if you had left 10 minutes earlier you would have caught the wiper thief  |  |

I parked on that industrial estate behind the South Stand yesterday. If i left on 84 minutes i might of got out of Swansea at 6.15 last night. I stayed until the whistle then went to the club shop (why the feck is a club shop not open after the final whistle of a home match even for a short while is beyond me) then walked back to the car and was gridlocked until 7.20 then got out of Swansea getting home at 11pm. And we are thinking of ground expansion !? we can't even cope infrastructure wise with what we already have and last night there wasn't even any shoppers. |
Yes I know it takes me about that long to get to Skewen most games  |  | | |

You mean the story you made up to try to wind me up and we then made to look a complete and utter fool when you backtracked?
Fair play, takes a "special" kind of WUM to attempt to bring up something like that. | |

I don't understand why they close the roads around the stadium, but still allow traffic to come up the dual carriageway by the park & ride only to have to turn around again and join the queue of traffic leaving the game! It would make much more sense to have four lanes of traffic heading down towards the roundabout over the river, allowing the P&R to empty from both sides as well.
In the other direction, a few police or stewards to direct traffic down by Dyfatty lights would get the traffic moving through Hafod so much quicker and avoid all the delays at the moment.
This sort of things is what the clubs' travel plan should have included, not nonsense like trying to get 20% of people to cycle to matches.
Leeds do this and it works really well, four lanes of traffic all going away from the ground means it clears much faster. |  | | |

You could also add to this where was the support for the team when the palace fans were quite easily out singing us even at 1-0. |
Very tired after Italy maybe ? they didn't really out sing us, they may have but who cares ? Is making a noise important to you ? Is shouting the way you get along ? Why is it important ? If it is what are you doing about it ? Do i care ? No, maybe yes, possibly.
So, we earned a point but had three denied us by a ref yet again,that's four good points lost at the hands of refs this season at home to non penalties. Add that to our failure to win a number of games, and this is where the importance of being a swans fans starts. I will add also that Bony is bordering on fecking useless at times.
Not by being noisy, he cant pass a ball to save himself, although i too like noise, except my youngest who screams very loud indeed. |  |
