Anyway, drew 2-2, with the City scoring very late, at the opposite end. Old Bill kept us behind for ages after the game, just as well we got that late goal. We were like sardines in there. Same season, I think, we beat Wrexham there in the Welsh Cup Final. Alan Curtis scored for us, top corner, right in front of us.
For both games, we just strolled around Swansea like we owned the place. And, starngely enough, nobody chased us into the sea. Probably because most of us were over 12 years old.
Happy days. But the Vetch was a real dump, though

My first City away game was at the Vetch, Boxing Day victory Leigh Barnard early goal, loved going to the Vetch if I'm honest.
Best memory was when we drew 0-0 in a midweek cup match days after the FA cup match down there think

i remember going in november 1997 with heathblue on the other board . i worked with someone from swansea at the time and he got us a ticket using his address and sat up in the seats above the west stand i think . it was 1 -1 and they scored a late winner .allsopp if i remember correctly . had to suffer most people around going mental all around us when they won near the end . oh the pain as we trudged out !
Penny then missed a pen for them there must have been at least 50 city fans outside the programme shop so there must have been more there
