captainmed Posted May 6, 2017 Posted May 6, 2017 Yeah Swansea is a new ground well up for that although they are looking like They should stay up if they win tonight Don't hold your breath. The town is 20 years behind Cardiff. Horribly long trip too from the north. OK 4 u though. ???????? Quote
radcliffe white Posted May 6, 2017 Posted May 6, 2017 One of the worst trips ever Swansea Same as captain it's a shit hole Quote
tomski Posted May 6, 2017 Posted May 6, 2017 (edited) Yeah Swansea is rubbish. I had a good night there but it is rubbish and smells of old people Edited May 6, 2017 by tomski Quote
radcliffe white Posted May 6, 2017 Posted May 6, 2017 The only highlight of Swansea was on the way back nobster turning enforcer with some local smack heads on train Quote
Ghana White Posted May 6, 2017 Posted May 6, 2017 Yeah Swansea is rubbish. I had a good night there but it is rubbish and smells of old peopleClass night.. weird place though. Seemed down on it's luck to put it nicely. Quote
Jol_BWFC Posted May 6, 2017 Posted May 6, 2017 I agree with the above. Swansea is bleak. Worse than Middlesborough? That place is grim. Quote
Guest Posted May 6, 2017 Posted May 6, 2017 Swansea? Great for a weekend; stay on the Mumbles But...........it might be Hull instead Quote
stevieb Posted May 6, 2017 Posted May 6, 2017 Fuck Hull! That 2008 away game was quality The 2009 one was fucking horrendous. Quote
embankment Posted May 6, 2017 Posted May 6, 2017 (edited) After 5 years of bloody hard work, endless returns home with only tales of escapades to report ,this season was a complete turn around. Yes we still set off for most games before 7am. Caught rattlers from Manchester around 8am. Embankment still lost at cards to Mr Smith . Ashburner Street Market Fish Stall managed to go walk about but still sober up in time to catch the train back. BUT we watched a winning team that put effort in and made us feel we had finally got OUR club back. My highlights. AFC Wimbledon. Proper old school ground. CHARLTON. River Boat up the Thames. Finding a Millwall pub ,4 buzz stops away from the Charlton's ground.Grumpy Bat being soaked through by a exploding bottle of water which a very brave Charlton fan chucked as he left the tube train. BURY, The amount of police , unbelievable !!!! COVENTRY. Last minute equaliser . The Old Windmill Pub. ( biggest pork pies in the UK.). BRADFORD. Fighting Cock. FLEETWOOD. Total team performance. SHREWSBURY. Best pubs , Old boys turnout and without doubt the finest collection of barmaids in one town. Massive Result. PORT VALE.(1) The pride and the passion, total devotion from our fans.NOT a prawn sandwich in sight. Champions League my arse ,that reaction when the ball went in was an expression of what football means to a true fan . PORT VALE (2) Worse for wear Casino on Piccadilly train station still trying to find out Ashburner Streets true identity. Better luck next season pal !! PS, Special mention to Sputniks jacket, once again worn for every away game for the 5th season running no matter the weather . And surviving being chucked in a bin at Greenwich only to be rescued by a big issue seller , who on inspecting it ran down the street to return it too its rightfull owner.

tomski Posted May 6, 2017 Posted May 6, 2017 Class night.. weird place though. Seemed down on it's luck to put it nicely.Aye. It was a good do to be fair. I wouldn't rush back Quote
embankment Posted May 7, 2017 Posted May 7, 2017 Update. Sputnik has just reported jacket has been retired. New one to be purchased for the 2017/18 stability season. Quote
MalcolmW Posted May 7, 2017 Posted May 7, 2017 One of the worst trips ever Swansea Same as captain it's a shit hole I went to a conference at Swansea Uni in January 1969 - first time I recall seeing signs in Welsh. Travelled back on the train and with Bill Slater (Woves FA Cup winning captain in 1960) as far as Shrewsbury, but all he talked about was his wonderful gymnast daughter. Nowadays she is Director of BBC Sport, which makes me feel old. Also went by coach to a track match in 1974 - 5am start from Stretford! Quote
marple whites Posted May 9, 2017 Posted May 9, 2017 The only highlight of Swansea was on the way back nobster turning enforcer with some local smack heads on train Thats exactly right - always sticks in my mind that. (didn't he take a shine to the ticket lady on the train ?) Longest and grimmest train journey ever and the place isn't much better either. Games was rubbish - but decent kebab on the way home.............................. Quote

SoberDan Posted May 9, 2017 Posted May 9, 2017 (edited) Yes I had the misfortune of going to Swansea about the a decade ago although from what I'm told it has got a lot worse since. The place has been destroyed by the loss of industry and then a heroin epidemic which persists today even in the young. I'd still say Newport is worse tho Edited May 9, 2017 by SoberDan Quote
Ani Posted May 9, 2017 Posted May 9, 2017 Shrewsbury was best away trip for me. Realised we were back. Walsall and Rochdale were awful. Quote
