400 free tickets on 10:03 - Nov 24 by Uxbridge | Think yourself lucky us taxpayers are even employing you! Do you reckon the DVLA paid for these tickets or is it a payoff for cancelling a few driving offences? |
I'm loathe to point this out but the big building in Clase has no power to dish out or remove points off anyone's driving licence. They simply add them on when told to by the courts. As to whether someone paid for them, I neither know nor care. | |

Wouldn't this have been a lovely gesture to give a hospitality " thank you day" to the loyal fans who turfed out hard earned money from their bank accounts on a monthly basis to keep the club going during the dark days of Petty? Just a thought like... | |

Yes, 10 years ago, which helped build the foundations of today's successes :-) I often wonder how many fans actually did this? 100's, 1000's ??? Dark times indeed, these people at least deserve some sort of recognition don't you think? | |

400 free tickets on 11:41 - Nov 24 with 2302 views | Big_Phil | Not sure if it's been posted before, but the club have also done some deals with local schools for Thursday. I'll get stacks of abuse I know but if it's a choice between 400 spare seats and 400 to the DVLA then I'm all for the latter...even if 10% get hooked it makes good commercial sense. And yes,I bought the 3 game package....life is a bitch sometimes but move on shall we boys I'm no great fan of Mr DIneen but I can sort of see why the club have done this if the tickets were not shifting | | | |

The deals for schools were discounted not free tickets. No issue with giving away spare tickets but it's an awful choice of recipient. | |

400 free tickets on 12:26 - Nov 24 with 2253 views | Shins | My younger son, who's still in school, proudly bought the three game package out of his pocket money and savings relishing the thought of watching his local League club playing in such an esteemed competition. Now that he's seen how his local League Club treat new/borderline/plastic fans he's back supporting Man Utd. Pity because I've been taking him down the Vetch since 2001 and his older brother, sister and I am ST holders. Premier League on the field, Sunday League off it... or is that insulting to Sunday League clubs? | |

He's 17. Just said 'fcuk them'... his words, not mine. Perhaps these freebies should have been kept quiet. It was bad enough that the Club changed the Ts & Cs after many had bought the original package without this sort of thing being banded about. Those who come on here announcing such things should shut the fcuk up and stop rubbing people's faces in it. Just a thought ;) | |

Im lost here. What has it to do with dineen ? He was brought up because he didnt answer a tweet. I doubt he has done this. If there are free tickets being given out it will be a board thing not an idividual. After all these years some still dont understand how this club is run. The board make this sort if descision not one person | | | |

It wont be cooze its dineen - this reply earlier in the thread A little bit of an exaggeration don't you think ? Just checked and he has tweeted twice today. Does he have to reply to every tweet btw ? Personally i would be asking our Supporter director. gave it away makes you wonder if it was the supporter directors idea that maybe dineen didnt agree with? | |

400 free tickets on 19:47 - Nov 24 with 2006 views | Chief | The biggest European game in our history and we cant sell out (even at discounted prices) - DISGRACEFUL The loyal fans who are going bought tickets weeks ago had to actually pay while others (who cant be proper swans fans anyway, otherwise they would already have bought tickets for this game) get them for free - DISGRACEFUL I'm all for trying to increase the fan base, but if adults no matter where they were work in the Swansea area haven't been bitten by the swans bug yet and aren't already buying tickets, the sad basterds certainly wont now. these free tickets are surely going to be taken up by people going to watch Valencia, not Swansea City. Ridiculous decision by the club. | |

If I had my way I'd get a charitable organisation like Oxfam or Ty Hafan that kind of thing to distribute them. | |

If he's been put off by something as trivial this, in all honesty he's no great loss, at least you know what to get him for christmas... | |

Dineen is a board member is he not? Dineen is on twitter is he not? So do you not think "tweeting" Dineen for an explanation is not an obvious alternative ? | |

Isn't he also a paid 'commercial director' these days? In which case he may have a passing opinion on commercial matters..... | |

Ticketing is under LD's area of responsibility. Well I assume so given he answered all ticketing questions at the Fans Forum and in the absence of any official announcement from the club that he's now a salaried member of staff (relying on the Trust's minutes here). The thing with social media is you can't just ignore the questions you don't like and answer things that shine you in a good light. I'm far more interested in things like this than whatever Ian Beale thinks this week. | |
