1. Feel a glow in your heart when your star player turns up in a battered old banger. Imagine how cheesed off you’d feel if your hard-earned cash was paying for their Ferraris.<\/p>\n

2. Not having to plan ahead for months to get a ticket. I can leave my house at 2:30pm and still get into the game at 3pm. <\/p>\n

3. Get that big-match atmosphere by going for a mug of Bovril at half-time\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6even though the queue is only ten deep. It will feel like you’re at Wembley (ie. it will take as long to get served).<\/p>\n

4. Watch Stu Roberts put some beautiful crosses in. Perhaps not with the same skill as David Beckham – but at least he doesn’t keep putting up two fingers to you. <\/p>\n

5. With crowds of about 4,000 lately, there’s a good chance you’ll get to know the players quite well (ie. get invited back to their house for a cup of tea). \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

6. Get in for \u00c2\u00a314 (seated area) \u00c2\u00a310 (standing) – over half the price of admittance to a Premiership match.<\/p>\n

7. It must get really dull supporting Man United ie. winning every match at home. Take a gamble on watching Swansea City FC. You never know – you might just be at that home game they win in the league! (20-1 odds)<\/p>\n

8. Roll up, roll up, come and watch the fattest goalie in league football. Gasp as he chews on a piece of lard and still drops the ball all over the place. <\/p>\n

9. Even when the match is dull, there’s always Cyril the Swan doing his Beckham impression.<\/p>\n

10. Wear your Swans shirt with pride on holiday (Swans fans are such a rare breed) and make friends with complete strangers. I once got free beer for a night (Sospan Fach – Palma Nova, Majorca).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
