The Jack Army moves to Blackpool in big numbers

The Jack Army will be moving en masse this weekend to head to the North West coastline and a weekend in Blackpool as the Swans look to put behind them the miserable 5-1 home defeat to Fulham on Tuesday night.

Long before the team had taken to the pitch on Tuesday, the Swans sales for the game had passed 1500 in what has always been a fairly traditional longer trip for visiting football fans and that isn’t a statement made by the number of miles north of Birmingham.

Russell Martin and his side have often talked about the passion of the Swans travelling away support and that will be no different on Saturday afternoon as the Swans look to put together back to back wins on the road after the frustrations at places like Stoke and Sheffield United.

With sales continuing during the week it will certainly be a bumper away following at Bloomfield Road and it is for that support that Korey Smith hopes the Swans can get the result

โ€œWe had quite a heavy loss against Sheffield United and we bounced back very well,” Smith told the club’s official website.

“Weโ€™ve got an opportunity to do that again on Saturday and weโ€™ve got a lot of games to come between now and the international break.

“Weโ€™ll be looking to continue our good performances that weโ€™ve had over the last few games until that red card and hopefully get the result.โ€

  1. Great support – itโ€™s just a shame that we are being led by a strong but stubborn manager .The excessive passing amongst keeper an defenders is causing us massive peoblems .We regularly give away free goals and are easy to play against when defending .Several opposition managers have commented how much space we allow their teams to play with.Despite this Martin refuses to alter his approach .The first goal against Fulham was a case in point.It was always going to be difficult with 10 men but our organisation was dreadful particularly putting a slow, ponderous defender like Bennett in the middle of defence instead of Naughton

Been watching the Swans since the very late 1970s and running the Planet Swans website (in all its current and previous guises since the summer of 2001 As it stood JackArmy.net was right at the forefront of some of the activity against Tony Petty back in 2001, breaking many of the stories of the day as fans stood against the actions where the local media failed.
