THE FANS ARE TURNING AWAY

3 September 2005

I Read the Evening Post whenever I can get my hands on it, primarily for news on the Swans. As you are probably aware, there have been many cases of poor management shown by StadCo after Tim Howells resigned.

Tickets have been given to the wrong people and the ticket office has been closed the day before important home matches.At the Barnsley game, approximately 2,000 fans gave up queuing for a ridiculous length of time and went home.

At the moment we are averaging roughly 14,000-15,000 in attendances - the second best in the league behind Nottingham Forest.

When everyone in Swansea is back from holidays and as the season progresses, there will be larger demand for tickets. StadCo simply will not be able to handle it and will cost our club support and money. Something needs to be done.
