Club Talking – Part III

Although the present one is quite modern I still feel the old one is more of keeping and something the fans can respond to. The new badge is a throw back off our past owners and therefore I believe not keeping in the clubs traditions! Now we have yourselves at the helm, fans like ourselves who love and support our club maybe some more than their other halves!! How about the club reverting to the old style badge and therefore kick starting a new era and killing the ghosts of our past?? By the way, your work at the club is more than appreciated.

Due to Swansea having one of the largest amateur football leagues in Britain, it will always be difficult for matches to avoid clashing with matches at the Vetch. Is there any way that discussions could take place between the club and whatever necessary authorities in an attempt to rectify this and allow more people the opportunity to get to the Vetch? Nick

I think that we should have terracing in the morfa when its built. Its the north bank that makes the vetch a great place to go and it has an amazing atmosphere. To make the stadium be able to be used for a variety of events the terracing should be able to be converted into seating if wanted ( this was done in Germany a few years ago in somewhere like hamburg) and so would make the stadium more versatile and so make more money for the club

Any chance of the club organising an open or fun day in the lead up to next season. They could charge a nominal fee for entry, open the club bars, maybe a bouncy castle or two , organised tours of the Vetch i.e dressing rooms, board romm etc, maybe ending with a practice match in front of the fans between maybe the 1st Team and the reserves. The kids could get all the squad autographs and some pics. And everyone would be ready for the new season. Only an idea, but what does anyone else think

If & when we do move to Morfa, as terracing is not an option, would it be possible to make the new North Bank non reserved seats so that friends can sit together whether they have season tickets or not. Should make for a better atmosphere as fans can gather together in groups. Season ticket holders who prefer the same seat for every home game can sit in another stand.

THE RESULTS HAVE NOT BEEN IN THE E/P FOR ABOUT SIX MONTHS SO CAN THE WINNERS BE PUT IN THE PROGRAMME OR ON THE WEB SITE

Have a share issue to fans. This was proposed in the Ninth Floor time. Just because their period of ownership of the club was an overall failure, it does not mean that everything was wrong. Many fans have invested via the Trust, but others are attracted by the concept of owning part of the club. Both schemes can operate in parallel. (I previously proposed this in the “Big ideas” page on Dai’s site, so excuse the duplication, but I had no response).

Play the Swans Ladies team games directly after Div.3 games, as was done once at the start of last season. This seemed to bring in a lot of new supporters, often friends and families of players, but others like my wife who is a sportswoman and generally supports women’s sport. A percentage of these people will pay to attend the Div.3 games, thereby increasing attendances.

Am I right in thinking that entrance to the north bank on match days for oaps, students, child and passport to leisure is only £6? The season ticket is £95 before the end of June? Then it seems crazy to me that you cannot buy a season ticket with a passport to leisure??? Would it not make more sense for people with a P.T.L to get a reduced price season ticket as well because you can qualify for a P.T.L. if your on working family tax credits (NOTICE THE FAMILY IN THAT LITTLE SENTENCE) i.e more money to take the kids which would mean bigger attendances and more fans for the next generation????? I’m hardly likely to spend £190 on an adult season ticket when I can get in on matchday for £6. For the life of me I can’t se the sense!!!!

mmm! difficult one to call this. but i suppose it can be argued that anyone with a passport to leisure that can afford £95 for a season ticket could easily afford to pay full price on matchdays?

I had same problem when i was a student. Pointless buying a season ticket when it was fiver to get in

I believe the club should do everything possible to sell out the first home game next season. There will hopefully be a buzz with new signings. We are guaranteed probably 6000+ as we always get a good opener gate. With the help of JA.Net scfc.co.uk the ep and the club we could easily sell out the 9000 odd home capacity. If its a good game and our side looks decent this will have a knock on effect. Mr Morgan – just look at the effect the increased crowd against lincoln had, a snowball effect on crowds to the end of the season – although other factors played a part too.

I was in Cambridge on business the other day and noticed quite a few posters in house windows saying’ closer to live football’ and then a blurb with prices on season tickets at CUFC. Might be an idea for us to boost season tickets?
