Home >Story Index> A Simple Message To The Players

The message to the players from me is clear. They aren’t words that I wrote, but they are words we all know. We all believe in them and if the players do then we should be okay.

Take Me To The Vetch Field. Way down by the Sea

Where I Will Follow Swansea, Swansea City.
Once Our City’s Football Team Were Known As Swansea Town
And After Years In Division Two Slowly They Slipped Down
But We All Knew There’d Come A Time When We’d See Better Days
So Spread Your Wings You Silver Swans To Rise And Fly Away
Swansea, Oh Swansea, Oh City Said I
I’ll Stand There On The North Bank Until The Day I Die
Take Me To The Vetch Field, Way Down By The Sea
Where I Will Follow Swansea, Swansea City
The Swans They Are A Super Team Of That There Is No Doubt
And In The Stands And Terraces For Swansea We Will Shout “SWANSEA”
Many Places We Have Been And Many Tales To Tell
For Wherever Swansea City Go The North Bank Goes As Well
Swansea, Oh Swansea, Oh City Said I
I’ll Stand There On The North Bank Until The Day I Die
Take Me To The Vetch Field, Way Down By The Sea
Where I Will Follow Swansea, Swansea City
In The League Cup There Came Tottenham Who Were Lucky To Draw The Game
And Therefore for the replay we went to White Hart Lane
No-one gave us any chance with Ardilies and Company
But you should have heard the Cockerel Cry when the Swans scored number 3
So let’s go down to Swansea Bay and hear The North Bank roar
And follow Tosh’s Super Swans wherever they may go
The skill, the flair, the fluency will lead us to where we’re bound
And once again all Europe will hear the Swansea City sound
Swansea, Oh Swansea, Oh City Said I
I’ll Stand There On The North Bank Until The Day I Die
Take Me To The Vetch Field, Way Down By The Sea
Where I Will Follow Swansea, Swansea City
Where I Will Follow Swansea, Swansea City
Where I Will Follow Swansea, SWANSEA, Swansea City

Some of the words are a bit dated but most of them ring so true now.

Don’t let us down guys. You can make the difference and we will be with you.

TOGETHER WE WILL DO THIS!
Many Thanks To Roger Evans for writing those words 25 years ago.
