Jeez, remember the days when you could just turn up at Central, jump on a train and pay on tbe gate.

Away protocol for both teams for this fixture is surely excessive in the extreme.

Are they allowed their ridiculous doubel flag?

Not a chance Wez, but there must be a happy medium?

I don't really understand what they're complaining about, isn't this the same as it's been for years for both sets of fans in the away match?

There have been no signs at all that things were going to change for this season.

The fact that the game is a 7.45pm kick off on a Saturday night means there was no chance of the restrictions for away fans being less strict or lifted.

Not sure I’ve heard of no food or drink on the coaches before?

It woukdn't be an issue the other way around, as our buses are modern and only take an hour to get to their ground...

Their horse-drawn carriages however....

I'm not sure why their whingeing; the 'bubble' is a direct result of their actions rather than ours...

Joking aside, I’m struggling to see how it could be legal to put them on a coach at 3pm for a 7:45pm kick off with no food or drink.

Saying that, if the buses are kept in Swansea there’s probably enough dead rats and such on them to munch on

Anything that makes them unhappy is good news. Horrible bunch of people, they deserve all the shit they get.

This is all very wrong. More and more we’re sinking into state control..

The only exception to the rule seems to be the Notting Hill Carnival.. I wonder why?

Having read their social media and forums it appears there’s grounds for the food ban as supposedly there’s some dirty bastards amongst them who were smearing food into the coach last time

They are never happy.

Won't be long and they will be holding yanks out protests

Not a Swansea fan in sight when you got off the train in the old days.

Brilliant, empty the bars in the away end except for fifty pints of watered-down Carling at £10 a pint and 2000 packs of Aldi plain crisps (£3 a bag) don't bother to clean the toilets and generally make their day as miserable as possible, then batter them on the pitch!

I hope they have the worst away day ever

They should all be made to stand inside a massive plastic bubble to cut down the risk of infections spreading from the scabby scruffy smelly six-fingered freaks. Pond Life.
