There is no pressure on the lads for this one, final game of the season and its in front of our own fans against an Oxford Utd side who are safe and have nothing left to play for this season.

Could be a sell out crowd with Oxford bringing 2700
Hopefully we will play this game celebrating contracts for Sheehan and Darling

I would like to see us play with something that looks like a glimpse into the possibilities of the 25/26 season

----------------------------- Vigouroux ---------------------------
Key ----------- Cabango ---------------- Darling --------- Tymon
--------------- Franco -------------------- O'Brien ----------------
Parker ----------------------- Eom ------------------------ Ronald
----------------------------- Vipotnik ------------------------------

Parker has been on the bench a lot since Sheehan came in, would be nice to see him rewarded with a start for the final game of the season and have a chance with zero pressure to show us what he can do

Only mainly tickets in the south stand available for Saturday. East, North and West very few left.

They should have done a deal like the Hull game for the South Stand.

I think the South upper will sell out possibly not sure about the lower. Good point offering a discounted deal but I think the club are banking on the good feel factor and Oxford's allocation. I think it's around 18k as is stands.

We've been on a great run until the last game and can still finish 10th with a win (unthinkable a month or two ago), Cardiff have been relegated, our opponents are virtually safe and bringing a big crowd, it's an early kick-off and due to be a glorious sunny day, Sheehan's new contract may be announced/celebrated before the game...

There are so many reasons for it to be a sell-out and hopefully encourage people to come more often next season.

Nailed on disinterested performance at walking pace and a 1-0 loss.

Unless we're playing WBA it's how we like to end the season at home in 'nothing' years.

Nah.. Sheehan is still auditioning

Also if there is any hint of Modric being in town Saturday the game will sell out and the plastics will be queuing to Rossi's

Since Real Madrid have a game on Sunday more likely he would watch the game on Sky
Or the owners have pushed the boat out and given him a free subscription to Swans TV

I'd be surprised if LM will even know we have a game on Saturday never mind keep a look out for the score...

By many accounts from media outlets he has watched a number of Swans games this season
None in person as of yet but several articles have reported him following the club and watching games throughout the season since interests first looked like they were going to align

Good to hear, if that's the case then only good will come of this.
