The Swans have come top of a table of the Premier League’s most loved and hated football clubs.
They finished just above West Brom, Norwich and Everton in a survey of football fans across the UK.
And despite having not yet kicked a ball in English football’s topflight tier, Cardiff City stand in a respectable mid-table position, having finished eleventh in the poll.
Big spending Chelsea was named the Premier League’s most hated club, finishing just below Manchester United, Stoke and Liverpool.

Alright, I didn't get the point across, but I reckon if that survey was carried out a few years back, you would've been lower down on that list. I read on here quite often about the work your club are doing to change perceptions of your fan base, maybe it's paying off?
pop and crisp brigade and there will be a film based on them ..... But don't believe every thing you here on here

Not the big clubs, but the ones who think that we have taken away their right to be in the PL. Even the so-called Old Firm in Scotland seem to have started.
