Apparently NBC were showing a big Winter Olympics event directly before or after the game, so a lot of people were watching NBC because of that. But still.... it means there are at least 1.24 enlightened Swans fans in the US, and exactly 0 Redbird fans (anywhere?)
Not a bad game for you guys to do well in then. Probably earned you a few foreign supporters. One supporter is only 24% Swansea fan?
And we'll take it in our stride thank you, what the yanks like is the underdog, and we are a small club run very well with no Arab oil money benefactor paying for our players, just good old little Swansea, mind I should imagine us being Welsh and not the arrogant Engerlish probably helps a fair bit too, I see there are plenty of Poms whinging comments at the bottom of the article!...........................
Well the Olympics being on before and after explains quite a bit , not that we dont have adoring fans everywhere .
Yes but who gives a flying **** about Scottish football? Or do you mean the Queens Park variety? In which case, double
He's a random bloke from Cwm Level's park, kept telling me about it but I laughed when he suggested they also had a national team.
I think if Rangers came out to Oz they would fill our Olympic Stadium (82,500), the same way Man Utd did last year
You'd know better than most but I suspect you're right , all those immigrants with Scottish (protestant ) ancestors ,there must be thousands out in Oz.
have no idea why the Swans do not do an Asian tour, arn't the shirt sponsors Asian based? Football is massive in Asia
People everywhere know Swansea as a good football club who play attractive football. And I think especially Laudrup played a big part getting it out on such a global scale. I'm not sure there is this Swansea way of playing football, I just think Sousa, Martinez, Rodgers, Laudrup and Swansea City all like football played in a similar way. They all did great with the club, however I just feel the second season Swansea had to show they were made of. They had pressure now, a lot of new signings and expectations after what Brendan did in the previous season. Swansea played such great football, winning the cup, and it all left a big impression on the world I think. This season aswell, watching Swansea at Valencia against Napoli doing the premier League proud, big players like Wilfried Bony. Swansea a good football team!
