This is so true. I read with sadness of the passing of Len Gregory, a man I did not know. May he rest in peace and I offer my sincere condolences to His family and friends. Then we get an "out of the blue" statement from Joe. The statement has nothing to do with football issues or the playing side of the team. It wouldd appear to be personal, and the football club being used as a pawn in his fight with Downings. There is absolutely no reason for preventing the side fulfilling its fixtures. It really is an insult to those teams we have played, and those we have yet to meet, to withdraw us from our outstanding fixtures. In terms of quality the team has a lot to be desired. However, the manager has forged a squad to at least be on the cusp of a competitive side.

It is also insulting to those loyal supporters who follow the side, home and away, and who give their money to ensure the players get something.

Swans mate for life, once a swan always a swan. As supporters we need to show our respect to the other teams in the competitions wee entered this season. More importantly it is our duty to honour those supporters who have gone before us; and to provide a beacon of hope for those to come. It would appear it is time for the supporters to take control of the playing side.
