Not bad going considering the size of the place and their strange affiliation to the oval ball game .I wonder what the reactions to the game were ? and who ,if any, were rooting for who.

I like the authors comments in the comments section, particularly the one aimed back at the cardiff fan

“those viewers who watched the second half will have enjoyed seeing Swansea’s three goals against the Bluebirds.”
What? I watched it in Cardiff and I didn’t enjoy seeing any of the goals going in. I was unaware there are 1.2 million Swansea fans (Jack B***ards – as we call them) in America. What evidence is there the American audience would have been supporting Swansea, I’d like to think they were commiserating with Cardiff fans.

In a few months from now, Cardiff will be relegated and Swansea will be preparing for its fourth season in a row as the first Premier League team in Wales. Swansea have had plenty of time to grow an audience in the United States, and were here on a tour across the USA last summer. Cardiff will be remembered for Vincent Tan and being a laughing stock.

The timing helped as there was **** all in the way of other sport on and rather than be on the NBC sports network it was on their main channel. And these new TVs don't like having things thrown at them, they don't make them like they used to.
