Our reasons are varied but after a twenty-five year stint at the heart of the online Swansea City community, the time is right for us to bow out.

When I was coming to the end of my Swansea Sunday league " career" (at the age of 39) I was affectionately know as the "Brickie" 🙈

What's your least favourite nickname?

Fess up lads 😎
 
I used to work with a lovely guy years ago, a welder, struck up a weld one day and got blown clean off a structure due to "foul gas" buildup in an unvented cylinder...
Spent four months in the burns unit in Chepstow and another 6 months on rehabilitation...
Was forever known as Burnie when he returned to work.
He loved it, gallows humour 😄

Apparently it was like an old army barracks (according to Burnie)

Yeah it was.
That young girl from Swansea that had horrific burns Caroline Tucker was in there the same time as me,I saw her down the stadium about five years ago.
Brave girl.
 
Used to work with this fella who was the most laid back worker I have ever seen. He was a fitter and whenever a priority machine would break down he would take his time getting there (coffee machine, a little snack and another coffee). We gave him the name "Sweat rash" :lol:

We used to have to play draughts in the occupational therapy department up there to get your fingers working and you had to really concentrate playing Caz because if you looked away for a second a couple of your draughts would have disappeared. :lol:
