Just seen a post on twitter that Swansea away is Voucher exchange NOT a bubble Trip ...... Can anybody confirm and elaborate on this .......
Cheers
Wow that will be lively !!!
It just means coaches can go straight to rv point instead of having to depart from the stadium.
And they can go straight home after the game.
Which is an improvement for many fans.
So still a bubble trip, just not from CCFC
YES, still got to travel on an organised coach
Yes the days of 2000 of us jumping on the train for free then into the ground, usually for free, have long gone. We even used to see the odd jack in the way to the ground....
Also gone are the days of going down early on a sunny bank holiday Easter Monday to drink in the pubs in the Gower before the game. Always very lively in those days eh!
Goats is correct, where we’re the Swansea fans in those days? We had free run of the pubs, The Swansea Jack packed with City fans, in fact everywhere packed with City fans.
I still managed to get outnumbered 😂
You must have been in the designated away pub Tim, it was the only bugger that had any room😂😂
Could you please explain this to my moron boy who believes he is catching a train with all his other stone island clad droogs to Swansea and intends struting around Wind Street like Liam Gallagher with haemorrhoids.
He was like a kid on xmas eve last night telling me over and over its not a bubble.
THEY BOOK ON A COACH, OR THEY DON’T GO !!!!!!
Plus it’ll be about 4/5 aways this season
To my knowledge this is the only local derby in Britain where you can't make your own way there by train or car. Says a lot. The SWP have usually got it all wrapped up.
Think it's in Fever Pitch that Nick Hornby talks about how he's grown to hate the North London derby as it's over-hyped and has brought out the very worst in Arsenal fans - I reckon I'm close to knowing how he feels. Maybe the South Wales derby is better for Swansea/City fans when we're not in the same division, it would be a real shame to go back to things being "lively" and ruing any togetherness we're building.
For the record, Bristol City and games against the big 6 which have a substantial plastic-base in South Wales would be bigger rivalry games than Swansea in my book.
Was it ever free? Or did you just choose not to pay?Yes the days of 2000 of us jumping on the train for free then into the ground, usually for free, have long gone. We even used to see the odd jack in the way to the ground....
He will probably get his arse handed to him, every jack will be out and roided up for this one.
It was more of a case of I was prepared to pay but no one came through the carriages to check, in those days the carriages were full of lively people shall we say. Containment was the aim of the authorities but by the time we got to Swansea, only to be joined by others arriving in different places by car, transit or even local trains, the plod had lost it so gave up. It is amusing that the jacks only appeared when the police did.....
It’s a bit pathetic really that a group of people need to be escorted in and out of a city for a game of football.
Not many these days....
