ANOTHER season over, and it’s one we all want to put behind us very quickly and get on with planning for a new campaign. But like everything in life there are lessons to be drawn from the past winter and we must take them on board to build a stronger squad of players. The club […]

Saturday 2nd May, 1998 – Mansfield Town 1 v 0 Swansea City – Nationwide Football League Division Three TROUBLE AT MILL – THANK GODNESS IT’S ALL OVER By John Burgum SWANSEA left the war behind them at Field Mill to head for the calmer waters of the close season to regroup and plan for a […]
Making a night of it
ONE more match to go but I am already looking forward to next season. It could be the most exciting in the club’s history – on and off the field. When we kick off again on August 8 we will be stronger as a team and a lot fitter. There will also be new faces […]
Give them their cards
WHEN the season is over and clubs and players sit down to assess the more contentious issues of the 1997-98 campaign, I hope referees and their masters do exactly the same. After all, we are in the same entertainment business, we want the same things, or at least we should, and we all strive to […]
Well done Ritchie but don’t forget the others
WHEN you get asked immediately after a match about the performance of one particular player it’s difficult not to get drawn into looking at the wider picture. That is exactly how I felt in the tea-time discussion after our 3-0 win over Rochdale on Easter Monday. Everyone wanted to know what I thought about Richie […]
Corky’s Chatter 8th April
I’VE BEEN clocking up the miles again this week with just one aim – to find the players who can put us in the promotion frame next season. With no midweek match, it has been ideal for both Alan Curtis and myself to hit the road in search for those players who could make a […]
Corky’s Chatter 1st April
IT WAS a pretty sickening sight watching that Barnsley fan trying to attack the referee in the Liverpool match last weekend. We do not need that violent side giving our great game a bad name but I can honestly see it happening more and more next season. Why? Simply because FIFA are outlawing the tackle […]
Wrexham beat Swans on Penalties
Tuesday 24th March, 1998 – Wrexham 2 v 2 Swansea City (AET) – Wrexham win 5-4 on penalties – Quarter-Final FAW Trophy ROGER Freestone went from hero to villain in a split second last night as Swansea lost their grip on the richest prize in Welsh sport. The normally reliable goalkeeper defied Wrexham almost single-handed […]
It’s another flop for sorry Swans
SAD Swansea City stumbled to another calamity against part-time League of Wales opposition in last night’s FAW Invitation Cup. Defeat by Barry at home and a draw with Conwy was followed by an only-goal flop to Bangor City who looked winners for most of the match at Farrar Road. Swansea paraded a largely youthful side, […]
The New Tosh? It was always going to be so difficult
Perhaps it was always expecting a little too much of Jan Molby to live up to the headline which proclaimed his arrival from Liverpool 19 months ago. The new Tosh was splashed across the Post where his widely-read column appeared once a week. There was good reason, and while the banner headline was accompanied by […]
