This, along with possibly several hundred spectators should make for an action packed fun night. Food will be available on the night at extra cost and bar facilities will be available throughout the evening for both contestants and spectators. The event may also be filmed as part of an upcoming S4C programme about the Supporters Trust/Swans fans.
