Your first game 21:28 - Oct 9 with 8216 viewsBenJ94

Was talking earlier about our first games watching the swans, according to my old Man, mine was a 4-0 defeat to Kidderminster down the verch, I do vaguely remember the game but I was just a kid at the time, could anyone tell me what year that might have been as the old mans memory escapes him sometimes?

And after that you were addicted lol!

Bradford City at home under Harry Griffiths with the young James, Charles and Curtis all playing. I think it was 1-1 when the match was abandoned, could have been due to weather or floodlights failure either in 1976 or 1977, old fourth division


Steve Potter saved a penalty that game too!!

You might think I've forgotten, but one day, when you least expect it, my time will come.

Swansea v Hull in 1984. We lost 2-0.

John Bond was our manager and Dean Saunders was up front! Sat in the Centre Sand, had the option to stand in the Enclosure. Night game with a crowd at around the 4,000 mark. Loved it! I was 9.

Very proud to be voted Planet Swans Poster of the Year 2017 by my fellow posters. Especially on a site that nearly had 20 million impressions last year.

Those were the days, my Dad would lift me up to see the game, but quite often we went in the wooden double decker and everyone would stamp their feet when the Swans scored. How that stand never fell,down !!!

1965, at the Vetch.

Swansea Town 1 Charlton Athletic 3

And I'm still here.


I was there. Eddie Firmani nodded past Noel Dwyer right in front of me.Bastârdo.

Been going reg'lar as a nipper (I lived around the corner) by then for 2-3 years with my uncle who played a few games for The Vermin.

'64 cup run got me hooked for life though I suppose.

Birmingham City 1981. 6.30 k/o due to rugby.

For some reason always thought it was an international game but checked and was Swansea V Australia at St Helens with the Wales game the next week.

I remember nothing other than we won and Archie Gemmill getting loads of stick. Robbie James scored but I have no recollection. Next game I saw was home defeat to Forest, then Liverpool in FA cup. I don't think I saw a game then for sometime-perhaps not until Manchester City as it was not easy getting over from the Rhondda as a 13 year old.

Didn't think you were that old!

Mine was 1994 at Old Wembley. Huddersfield on pens

Kidderminster was mostly non league when I was growing up so I'd guess you saw them mid to late 90's.


The 4-0 home defeat to Kidderminster was late 2002. I think it was just before we signed Alan Tate on loan (in fact, it probably hastened plans to get some quality in on loan!), and was one of the few occasions I can remember where a Swans crowd turned on their own players.

Home game v Brentford in September 1978. We won 2-1 (Robbie James and Jeremy Charles scoring).
There were lots of high scoring games that season. I just checked the table. We scored 83 (including 57 at home!) and conceded 61.

First 1 I can recall was a 3-0 against Chester in a play-off semi final. 97' I think?

Was bored as f*ck.

West Ham away in 99' was when I got into it, and I was 8 by then.
