One For The Oldies 22:07 - Feb 13 with 22042 views | bonymine | 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 !!!!! | |

Back in 1969 as a 12 year old , always felt safe on the North Bank , bus home from the now Wilkinsons , then Swansea Bus Garage , with a whole new vocabulary of swear words to tell my mother what I had heard , she still let me attend Swans games though . | | | |
