Planet Swans ArchivesSwansea City Supporters Trust today praised the organisation in getting almost 30,000 of the club’s supporters to Cardiff together with the behaviour of them within the capital.
There had been wide expectations in the media of trouble between rival sets of supporters as Swansea descended onto the nation’s capital given the rivalry between the Swans and Cardiff.
However, as predicted the fans in the City behaved themselves and enjoyed the occasion and were rewarded as Kenny Jackett led his side to their second cup success inside a week.
Trust spokesman Phil Sumbler commented “Our fans were superb. There was a great relationship between our fans and those from Carlisle and the City Centre was like a carnival for the game with both sets of fans showing respect for the others.
“We were faced with severe frustrations with problems with rail links to Cardiff for the game and big congratulations should be sent to those at Swansea Travel Club amongst others who worked tirelessly to ensure that the fans were able to get there and enjoy the day”
“As A Trust we would like to offer our congratulations to Kenny Jackett and his side for their success and hope to complete a remarkable season with promotion next month and we also offer commiserations to the players, management and supporters of Carlisle United and wish them luck in their promotion push.”
