Norm, My Grandad told me never to date a tennis player - love means nothing to them ...... and I am certain my love for the Swans is more than matched by yours. I think the boost the budget scheme contributed to by a number of suppoerters is an great example of our supporters club in action. It is, I am sure, appreciated by both the Chairman and the owners.

The Thames Club are our landlords and have, over the past few years, put many obstacles in the way of the club ....... change of position of the boardroom and use of the bar to name but two. There are myriad other examples. This has involved unnecessary legal fees to the club - the owner put circa £180k into the club for bills etc up to last year. It is his guarantee - exemplifying his love for the club that enables us to keep on trading. If those interventions were not there, there would be more funds available to put into the players. The Thames Club were able to maintain their going concern status by a massive investment in 2015. This has nearly all been eroded. The Thames Club plight is being funded through losses against that original investment. There is only one way that those investors can hope to recoup their investment ...... without any return; and that would be to get a change of use for there freehold. However, the local effects of global warming have made this very unlikely. The Thames Club are our biggest problem right now. We need to support the owners in their vision to support the club we all love - a love that means something to us all
