I had no idea until recently that the Swans had played a key role in the history of squad numbers. And I’ve been following the club for over 50 years!

Is Parker playing at CB and Fulton as DMF? And who missed the sitter? Us or them? (Presume them…)

I think Sheehan will ease Bobby in, 70th-minute substitutions, cup games etc, and use Cullen as a No10. So room for Vipotnik and McBurnie to alternate or even sometimes play alongside each other. If these rumours are true and he does (re)sign for us.

Can we sign Claudia Pina? What a player

Agree 100%. I did an analysis a few years back about ground capacity and average league position. While there are a few outliers, ground capacity is the key predictor of relative success over time. Of course you have to fill those seats, but to be a credible Championship/Premiership yo-yo team...

Excellent article, Phil. Couldn't agree more, although I do have mixed feelings about the prospect of Premier League football - I quite enjoy being able to (mostly) get tickets to games without too much difficulty, at a (usually) affordable price and (for the most part) going to those games...

Any idea when the away kit is going to be released? And why they didn't do them both together?

So what do you think the logic is of the club asking Joma to resurrect the Evening Post kit from the 1996-97 season? As I posted the other day, of all the seasons you could reference, that's one of the worst in terms of ill omens. Huge hopes of progress cruelly dashed, ushering in a period of...

The sleeves are the same and so is the checkered pattern on the body. Neck is different (although impossible to tell if it's round or v-shaped from the video). Question is why the club would do homage to a shirt from 30 years ago in a season that proved to be a false dawn followed by a farsical...

What sort of Resin are we talking about? #Snoop

There was speculation earlier in this thread that the checkered design on the neck and sleeves of the home kit may be a homage to Modric (as the Croatian flag and national team kits have that red and white checkered motif) and a hint that the away kit will go full checkered. SCFC normally launch...

I don’t disagree. But if Wrexham are trying to pretend it’s a derby (which it obviously isn’t) we’d be mugs not to respond in some way or, as I said in my previous post, we’ll be set up as the ‘other one’ at best or ‘the bad guy’ at worst. That tweet said ‘we know the game you are playing, let’s...

PS I hope the speculation about the Modric shirt and Snoop investing are both right. Maybe the GK kit will be Snoop themed!

If Wrexham hadn’t mentioned us, I agree that referencing them would be a cheap attempt at gaining some reflected glory. But there’s been quite a bit of noise from there about the ‘derby’ with the Swans, so there’s a fair chance we’d have been positioned as an Ivan Drago to their Rocky Balboa in...

Terribly sad news. One of a trio of talented young players from the Hafod area, along with Jimmy Loveridge and Tony Guard. A very modest young man. I think he was Head Boy at one of the schools he attended.

Always enjoyed going to Orient when we were in the same division as them. Pleasant fans and great fun watching the people who live in the corner flats by the away end taking stick graciously. But NJ aside, I have nothing against Charlton. Also a decent bunch of supporters you can have a...

Plus having someone in the dressing room who loves the club and the supporters as much as he does has got to be an advantage. That was one of our USPs in the Prem - having so many squad members who were genuinely happy to belong. It’s why I wasn’t sorry when Sinclair moved on. The rot...

It’s good to see so many familiar faces on here from back in the day, welcome everyone! Especially @Rhydian - top poster!

Duncan Thomas, who I believe ran SCFC2, is the owner of a company called Majestic Media which creates websites and does digital photography, a lot of it for the club.

My rationale for offering him a 12-month rolling contract with a cast-iron guarantee of a return to his former role if it doesn't work out, rather than (say) three years from the off, was partly in the interests of mitigating the financial impact of yet another excessive compensation package (we...
