Closer than Bournemouth and only 40 miles more than travelling to Reading.

Maybe, but I'm bike riding 40 miles from Kendal, with the legend that is Mark Beaumont, this Saturday anyway🤷‍♂️. Getting a lift with another cycling friend who's also doing it. I no longer have a car though anyway(got rid over 3 years ago), so unless a game is fairly localish the train ain't an option as it's far too expensive! 200+ miles from 'Pool to Swansea... 😏

I'm taking my Mrs down Thursday for a long weekend.
A treat for her after going through 14 months of cancer. Tests, operations, 6 weeks radiotherapy etc...
Staying mid Wales Thursday night, probably do a lot of walking as usual, then staying in Swansea Friday and Saturday night.
Hoping for some good advice on things to do and see on the Friday.

Go out in Mumbles one night. Some really smart restaurants, check out Bistro Pierre or if you really want a special place go to Langland Bras on Langland Beach. Go walking on the cliff path from Caswell Bay to Puwlldu Beach too, it's Welsh for Blackpool beach. Not far but amazing. Look it up on Google. We live there.
 
On recent form, this will be a tough one for us. They've won their last three home games, including 3-0 wins over Peterborough and Cardiff.

However, the godlike being that is Coach Critchley will have divined a way to beat them with the players we have available. 2-1 to us. In Critchley we trust!

Thanks. We will do some walking for sure. See you there.

you could try the Green & Olive for a bite to eat. it’s on top floor (28) of the Meridian tower - decent views.
 
I would have made this but it clashes with a family do. I like the Jacks, good club that likes its football played the right way. We were v popular down there when we beat Cardiff in the POF 😂
 
Can see a score draw here. Both sides on average are scoring just over one and conceding just over one per game. So 1-1 for me.
Bowler is due one so him to score.

Earthquake in Swansea. 4.4 on the Richter Scale, biggest in UK for 10 years.

The lengths some clubs will go to avoid playing the Mighty 'Pool.

First Jimmy Floyd hasselbank claiming our pitch was flooded, now Swansea are trying to arrange massive earthquakes to avoid playing us!!!
Where will this end???
Come on EFL, make them play us come hell or high water!!! 😂
 
Sorry. Saw it on line as reported by the Daily Express but did not see the date.
Why do these things suddenly appear on my laptop.
Now expect a prediction that we will beat Bolton 4 3 in the Cup Final.

First time visit to a Welsh club for me, I'm looking forward to seeing a new ground. This is the 3rd new ground this season, Reading, Sheffield United and Swansea. I'd like another performance like the Reading one thank you Mr Critchley 🙏 😊
 
Drove down last night, car full and son who is at University here going to game. Looking forward to Critchly leading the cheers!
 
I’m not going to make this one, I’m going away on Monday so I have loads to do this weekend
I shall watch on TTV and will be cheering the lads on from from my arm chair
Hoping to hear you lot cheering the lads on to another victory
 
For the Oz based followers, the game will be live from 2:00 am Sun morning, with on demand replays on Foxsports and Kayo. Will be watching it on replay whilst munching on an full English breakfast.
 
Seems like an age since the QPR game. Let’s hope we can get a performance in and pick up something. Hopefully the break will have done us good with the injuries.
 
Good odds on Blackpool again for the win, have staked a bit more of the winnings from Sheffield United on a win - we must win one soon, we have been unlucky in the last two.
