Definitely feels like we're getting our club back.

The Swansea Way was always about how we conducted ourselves and did things off the pitch. It was never about that tippy tappy sideways and backwards crap.

My son came with me last night he rarely attends these days, although he was the reason i became a ST holder 20 years ago as he was so desperate to come to every game.

It was great to relive those great days together again and i am sure that you and your grandson will look back on last night as one of those lifelong moments that remind us why our family are so important to us. Every time that goal is replayed like Trundle against Yeovil, Mark Gower against Norwich and Pratley against Forest we think back to those we were with some of whom are still here some who have passed.

That’s why sport is great but supporting your local team against the odds is always up there stuck in the back of your head.

Equally the utter bar steward took a video of me jumping and screaming when the 3rd goal went in and put it on social media!! Grumpy Old Man almost looks happy for a moment

Not that your grandson could do that to you but i am sure you could spin your chair around a lot

It’s magical L,truly magical.
I feel sorry for people who don’t get it.

Oh and if I see the video anywhere there’ll be no need to thank me for posting it.

It's great when you see the emotion in a youngster like that when it involves the club.

I had my 10yr old son and his mate sat next to me and when celebrating the 3rd goal, my sons friend tapped me and as I turned to look at him, he said my name and had a worried/shocked face and just said "My legs are shaking"

The adrenaline and excitement had just taken over. I told him that it was ok, my legs were the same and sit down......he carried on standing with just a shear shock in his face at what had just happened in front of him with his legs shaking from shear adrenaline after Burgess had smacked the winner in.

Our whippet is going to need counselling after last night. He's an anxious boy at the best of times but having the whole family suddenly roaring at the TV with no warning does his head in.

I hope he didn’t drop his guts.

It was the most incredible night. Worth braving the rain and the later mid week kick off. You would be forgiven in thinking every seat was filled (I wish!) with the sheer noise which continued throughout - even when we were behind. There were tears, hugging strangers, punching the air and high fives all round. If you weren't there, you missed out big time.

Nah, he just barked at the screen and then ran over to us looking for reassurance.

Lovely story. My dad first took me (to the Vetch) when I was nine, and despite us losing, I've been hooked ever since. Hopefully these two youngsters will be the same!

I've lost a lot of love for football in recent years..whether that's getting older or the way things have been with the Swans or a combination of both, I don't know.

But what I do know is that nothing else could possibly give me that adrenaline rush I had last night. On a pissing down Wednesday in September. Absolutely epic.

You endure the crap and the ordinary most weeks but then every so often you get last night and it makes it all worthwhile.

And you certainly don't get it on your sofa watching a team based 200 miles away from your home town either.

They certainly are hooked, it's in their blood and has been for a couple of years.
Both will be carrying on the line in their respective families as Swansea fans.

They will remember last night for the rest of their lives and will talk about it beyond my years hopefully.
