Consistently Inconsistent – that’s the best description I’ve seen of the Swans this season.
It’s seems that whenever we see a light at the end of the tunnel with the team putting in performances resulting in a few wins, we promptly go on and lose a few on the trot. Let’s hope the win against Peterborough on Wednesday night is the start of a new and far lengthier run of wins.
The game last weekend against Blackpool saw debuts given to youngsters Nathanael Ogbeta and Cameron Congreve. There is no doubt that our future depends on the success of youngsters coming through from the U23’s and the Academy. We hope the flow of these young starlets getting their chances at senior level continues and each can have long and successful careers with the club. Finding the balance between youth and experience will be critical in their development on the field.
Off the field the whole world has been shocked by the events in Ukraine. Football fans in this country and throughout the footballing world have made clear their solidarity with the people of Ukraine.
Thanks to the generous donations from the Jack Army at the Fulham game last week, from the Club and the Trust, over £5000 has been donated to the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) appeal. Further fundraising is ongoing which we hope will provide some comfort to the very many who are suffering.
An immediate affect of this terrible war has been to throw the future of one of the ‘Big Six’ into doubt. Chelsea’s owner Roman Abramovich has been sanctioned and he proposes to write off £1.5bn debt owed by Chelsea FC and to sell the club.
It cannot be good that the accumulation of such massive amounts of debt on the books of any football club is in the interests of our game and there needs to be better regulation.
The current governance of football in the UK is not fit for purpose and we urge for the full implementation of the Fan-Led Review, which looks to provide protection for football clubs as community assets. The main recommendations can be found here
As mentioned recently, we will very shortly be inviting members and supporters to complete a series of short online surveys on the review. This is being fully supported by the club and we appreciate their help in moving this project forward. We would like to thank all fans in advance for taking the time to complete these surveys.
After a lot of work, we are thrilled that our new website has now been launched. The redesign has been undertaken to create a more welcoming and streamlined experience for our members and fans. We hope everyone can agree it’s easy to use and contains all our key information and documentation. We are particularly grateful to Trust Board member Adam Lewis for the work he has put in to bring this redesign to fruition.
Today we welcome Birmingham City to the Swansea.com stadium. We’ll be looking to continue our winning ways and to avenge the 2-1 defeat at St. Andrews back in October. That match marked Oba’s first goal for the club. Let’s hope for some more today!
Enjoy the game #YJB’s
