Fun day was a disgrace
THE Liberty Stadium Fun Day (Post, October 15) it wasn't exactly a great premier activity.
As a loyal fan of the Swans and season ticket holder, I took my 3 boys down.
It was raining when we arrived so not a lot was going on outside apart from assistants mopping down the bouncy castle. We went into the large tent and had five minutes with the freestyle guy. We walked into the corridor of the stadium where the activity was, only to find two large round tables with ripped bits of paper and no staff for direction. We continued to walk around and saw a screen with Fifa13 being played.
My sons had a hot dog from the empty bar that was open and we saw nice retro tops on display at the club shop at £65 each.

It seemed to be just a money- grabber with no true Swans 100 year celebration.
Only Alan Curtis showed up. Not one player showed up to meet the kids. It was a disgrace.
Many people I met there also had the same experience. It wasn't like being in the Premier League with a world of fun and activity for children. Are we becoming too complacent?

“you think you was robbed? with my two sons and two grandchildren we decided to go to see ospreys friendly with bath, where an ad in the EP said children under 12yrs was given free entry, not only did my eldest son pay over £100 for tickets for the 5 of us, whilst waiting outside the ground i fainted and with my eldest son taken to the ambulance station where i was seen to by the excellent services there, i ended up in singleton for a check up before being allowed home, the bitter fact was i missed an atrocious game and both my son and i could not get any reimbursement of our ticket payment and when they were questioned about the free entry of children under 12yrs they stated that it was a misprint by EP. they'll never see me again if this the way they do business.”

“Totally agree with these comments,took my 2 grandchildren and was bitterly dissappointed. I know the weather did'nt help but there was practically nothing there for the kids other than 3 amusements and a few tables inside with some bits of paper and crayons on them. The food and drinks stand was doing a great trade at inflated prices, and the Swans shop was quite busy.To me it was more like conference than premier league and a big let down to the future generation of Swans fans”
