Swansea Loves Laudrup: Welsh on the move to London
33.000 excited and partying Swansea fans are getting ready to support Laudrup and his boys in the Capital One Cup Final at Wembley.
-Will the last to leave Swansea please remember to turn of the lights.
The joking statement says it all. The day today is a big one for the city of Swansea. Very big. When Michael Laudrup at 17:00 leads his players unto the pitch at legendary Wembley, it is at the same time Swanseas first time to participate in the final of one of the big British Cups. And it can be felt. The whole citys attention is for one day placed in London. And the same is a good deal of the 240.000 inhabitants in Wales next largest city.
Sunday morning at 9 o clock danish time an enormous convoy took of from the parking lot outside Swanseas home ground, the Liberty stadium. Many hundreds of busses containing the majority of the 33.000 Swansea fans, who bought tickets to support Laudrup and company in the battle for the first major trophy in history.
From 13:30 and onwards all these gleefull Welsh are partying in the area around the Wembley. All the while Laudrup is conducting his final tactical meeting, before he with his squad leave the London hotel, where they have stayed since yesterday afternoon. Towards the English national scene.
Hopefully Laudrup has sharpened his pen. With a victory today over underdog Bradford City, he will take part in history.
