Attendance v Swansea

Anyone one know how Swansea's sales for their section have gone? I've been on their main site and on planetswans and seen nowt about how many have been sold by them.

Also, anyone know why they call themselves "Jacks"?

Swansea City and its supporters are unofficially known as 'Jacks'. One explanation for this name is that during the 17th century, sailors from Swansea were respected and any 'Swansea Jack' was allowed to join the crew based simply on the town's reputation for good sailors. Many, however, believe that the name originates from the renowned life-saving dog Swansea Jack.

Letter Received today from MCFC:

Persistent Standing: Important Notification fro the 2011 -12 Season

Withe the new season fast approaching, we are currently reviewing our safety procedures in time for our opening game against Swansea City on Monday 15th Aug 2011, one area of the match day experience which requires our attention is the number of complaints that the club received in the last year relatng to persistent standing by supporters in some sections of the Stadium.

As you will no doubt aware, the club implemented a policy to tolerate standing in a number of blocks, predominantly in the south stand and then more recently to include the Singing section in block 111.

This was in direct response to the request of the supporters in those areas, many of whom had elected to purchase seats in these blocks for that specific reason. as I am sure you will appreciate, there has to be a limit to the area's in which we can allow persistent standing. The club has received numerous complaints regarding persistent standing in the block in which you are seated. (I'M IN 110)

We wish to make our match days enjoyable an experience as possible for all or our fans and, as such, we wrte to kindly request that yu and fellow supporters in your block remain in your seat for the majority of the match.

FANS WHO REFUSE TO SIT WHEN ASKED BY A STEWARD AND/ OR WHO PERSISTENTLY STAND, RUN THE RISK OF BEING EJECTED FROM THE STADIUM AND, IN SOME CASES, MAY HAVE THERE SEASONCARD CONFISCATED!!

Please help us to avoid such measures by co-operating with the request and help us to create an enjoyable experience for all of our fans!

Peter Fletcher
Head of Safety ans Security
