Whilst many were totally conspicuous by their silence when the Swans were battling obscurity or relegation to the conference, the MPs have incredibly even tabled a motion in parliament of congratulations.<\/p>\n
Of course the cynic in me says this is nothing more than cheap words to curry some favour and I apologise whole heartedly if they really do walk through the corridors of parliament wearing the latest shirts from Swansea City – hopefully they are on tenterhooks waiting for the Umbro offering!<\/p>\n
Swansea East MP Sian James said "This is excellent news for Swansea City Football Club.<\/p>\n
"I am delighted they have won the League One Trophy and on their receiving promotion to the Championship. My heartfelt congratulations go to Roberto Martinez and the whole Swansea squad."<\/p>\n
Martin Caton said: "I think it is a tremendous result given where we were five years ago as a football club and how much we have come forward.<\/p>\n
"From what I have seen of the team this season – and I often have to work on Saturdays – and what friends who go to the games each week have told me, they have produced some very entertaining football and at the same time achieve the results, which I think should send a message to football clubs everywhere that you can have both entertaining, attractive and achieve results. I hope the club can now build on their success and go from strength to strength.<\/p>\n
"Everybody is talking about this achievement in Swansea, which is why I thought it was important to invite fellow Parliamentarians to pay tribute to their success down here in Westminster, an opportunity both Alan Williams and Sian James have taken up."<\/p>\n
Swansea MP Alan Williams also offered his support, congratulating the Swans on a ''wonderful season of dominating football''.<\/p>\n
