Top sports writers heading to city
IT's not just world famous players like Robin van Persie and Carlos Tevez coming to Swansea these days — top football journalists are making a beeline for the city too.
ESPN, London Times and Wall Street Journal writer Gabriele Marcotti is the latest to have signed-up for an evening of football fun and discussion at the Dylan Thomas Centre on Saturday, March 16, at 7.30pm. He'll be taking part in a question and answer session within hours of the Swansea's League Cup heroes taking on Arsenal at the Liberty Stadium.
Other footballer writers taking part include Blizzard editor Jonathan Wilson and Philippe Auclair — the England correspondent for France Football. The event will be compered by Marcus Speller from sports podcast, The Football Ramble.
Nick Bradley, Swansea Council's Cabinet Member for Regeneration, said: "The success of the Capital One Cup-winning Swans is doing wonders for Swansea. Premier League football was worth £58 million to our local economy last year and now we've got European football to look forward to as well. The success of the team is putting the city on the map right across the world.
