It wouldn't happen in Swansea - Podcast - Episode 5 by ForzaSwansea
I assume the reaction has all taken place on Twitter, I feel a bit lonely commenting here!
ReplyDeleteOn the topic of booing, I feel the need to point out that this has been an issue for several seasons now, as you mentioned it happened around the winter period last season, and it's something that seems to happen whenever people decide to blow a defeat (or even a draw) out of context. It is certainly not just 'plastic fans' that boo, but the self-appointed 'real fans' too. There have been many occasions when the opposition have scored late on (perhaps putting us 2 goals down) and, en masse, people have got off their seats and headed for the exit (yet, perhaps even more irritatingly, stopped on the concourse area when we have an attack going). Anyway, I cringe when this happens as it is like a huge middle finger to the players on the pitch. As I say though - it will certainly happen at some point this season, and it will be nothing new, new season ticket holders or not.
To be honest I just feel the 'plastic fans' debate is tiresome now - not because they don't annoy me (believe me, they do) but because of the snobbery displayed by people in deciding who counts as one. I know why I am being sensitive to this, as one who waited until promotion before buying a season ticket (something people wouldn't have batted an eyelid at when we went up to the Championship), I feel like I am being tarred with the same brush as other people, despite my many years of consistent, Vetch-attending, League 2 and League 1-going support. My comments backfiring spectacularly on the last podcast didn't help either!
This is, however, the first time I have used the phrase 'en masse', ever.
Also, I'd like to hear the membership scheme discussed on the next podcast. I'm debating whether to join (just checked, at £10 for ST holders it's less than I thought) but like Matt said, it's several years too late really; at least it will come in handy for the future.
