If you contact Mark Phillips or Cath Dyer on the details I gave you they will be able to provide the latest details.
Good luck and I hope you and your family and friends enjoy a few games this season. |

You were saying Dwight.....
This is from the Disabled Supporters Association Facebook page. Sorry, don’t know how to link:
Here is the DSA secretary’s daughter, Claire, trialling the new pop-up sensory room at the Liberty today.
The DSA and the then Club disability officer at the club, Andrew Williams, first spoke about a sensory room back in July 2017, and the DSA have constantly worked with the club, and offered to fund equipment for the sensory room - and here is the fantastic result.
Mark Phillips, club DAO, continued with the push for a sensory room when he began working at the Liberty.
Today, he met us at reception and took us to the sensory room where he showed us how to use the bubble tube, sensory lights. projector, and music.
As he had seen our Claire touching the grass during the Halloween tour last year, he had also supplied some ”grass” for tactile use.
He also noticed that she was flinching during the 2 announcements that the gates were to be opened soon, and had also noticed her anxiety on arrival when walking into reception passed crowds of supporters.
Mark explained about the caterers outside the room, and that we could ask them for drinks if we required, and he showed us where the disabled toilets were.
Claire relaxed on the bean bags, supplied by the DSA, and fiddled with the sensory lights and grass, and was mesmerised by the rubble tube, especially speeding it up snd slowing it down.
She did manage to get outside and watch some of the game during the first half, and also the second half, but did find it quite noisy at times, and was grateful to escape to the calmness and quietness of the sensory room.
Thanks to Kev Johns, DSA Lifetime president, who came into see us, and also Trevor Birch and Chris Pearlman.
Mark is working on a welcome pack, and as things develop further, information on booking etc will be made available.

I'm afraid your response gives a completely wrong impression of the club and its relationship with disabled supporters.
The club has been working hard behind the scenes and year on year conditions are improving with more and more services and options becoming available.
I set up the Disabled Supporters Association in 2013 and worked with the club on a number of things including the changing places facilities etc. The Swans were looked upon as one of the go to clubs with regard to approach to disabled issues in the Premier League.
Yes, there are things that can be improved but a glib, uninformed answer such as yours is an insult to those at the club and the DSA who work hard for disabled supporters.
Kindly avoid putting such attention seeking answers in the future.
Thank you. |

Yes that's right, we are in this position because of the greedy sods.
That's why I want to try and rebuild. without the bloody yanks if at all possible. |

Rock and a hard place is the term that comes to mind for me.
It has always been understood that cuts would have to be made to the playing staff with the high earners moved on. I also remember that one of the big fears of relegation was the potential of job losses within the club on the support staff. I have not heard any info on any redundancies to date so I assume that we are still paying all these people. If we can retain these people that is a good thing in my mind but I certainly think that those at the very top should have at least a big pay cut if money is really that tight, the likes of CP and HJ certainly. I have no idea what the payscales of Championship CEO’s COO’s are but surely not at the level that they are paid in the PL.
The really alarming thing is the scale and brutality of the cuts and the lack of investment in suitable replacements which has been discussed to death on here. I am also bemused that we had two games on Tuesday night at Stevenage and against Crystal Palace yet not one of Dyer, Routledge or Narsingh was used. I know that we are supposedly trying to get rid of these guys but with such a young team put out on both teams their experience may have helped.
Potter seems a genuine guy and I desperately want him to succeed. I think he knew that belt tightening was to be expected but not like this.
In terms of the football side of things, once we went down I was looking to a 2-3 year rebuilding of the club so that we could get back to the successful model of a few years ago. Good scouting network, good manager like Potter who wants to play the right way, hungry, skilful players coming in to play a defined system rather than a hotch-potch of has-beens who are bought because of cost or availability at the expense of our playing style and principles as seen during the Monk era and beyond.
I have no desire to rush back to the Premier League this season or even next. I would prefer that we go back up with a restructured and settled club on and off the field.
In short, I want the yanks to do one and pish off back to the states and leave our club alone. My fear though is what happens when they are gone? Who will buy our club. The fact that we will have little or no say in this is a depressing one.
However, we need to support Potter and the team as much as we can on the field and a mid table finish this year would suit me just fine. |

Adverts (especially those mid video)
Vaping ((sorry but I think it looks daft)
People playing candy crush on mobiles when you are having a conversation (go on I am listening to you!)
Bad road etiquette (not saying thanks when you have stopped to let them through)
Politicians and the inability to give a direct answer.
People who tell me we have done a great job for them with my business then don’t pay! (Then have the cheek to Contact me at 5pm and say can we have this urgently by tomorrow morning?!!)
There’s more..... [Post edited 16 Jun 2018 10:17]
