Swansea Fans Alliance are urging their fans not to attend the friendly in support of STFC supporters in trying to starve Power of any more income.
Kudos!

I saw that Oldham's supporters Trust were also backing the initiative and pretty sure they will be looking to do something similar re their owners. Fan power on the up!

I doubt this thought is accurate, I think it more likely everything will slip back to normal, but I wonder if the Covid period has somewhat stripped bare the way clubs have wandered so far off the original concept of football clubs in the UK? If it has, that could be good. Essentially, the sheer indifference club owners have had towards fans, which has exposed those businesses to practical crooks, has largely been because we could just be relied upon. We keep sending them money, regardless of what happens. It's not like a normal business, it's like a small Monopoly without regulation. Covid has ripped the curtains open a bit - we couldn't keep going, even nutcase fans started asking why they should buy a season ticket for a season where they would never be able to attend and not get a refund. Hopefully this gets some movement in the game, but as I say, I doubt it.

I think it'll be one extreme or the other. The clubs who have engaged, been fair with refunds etc will experience a real boon of pent-up demand. Away crowds will be up and goodwill towards those clubs from their fans will be huge. And then there's us, Oldham etc....

Pity for Supermarine, they would probably have started as favourites.

I knew this over the weekend but it’s one of those you can’t say anything about until it’s announced. But still going either way as I have tickets.

Garrick may actually be quite useful in league 2 under management that know what they are doing. Assuming of course Garrick is one of the 4 that Cowley has said we are getting on loan.
I would welcome back Garrick, 1 good game out of every 3 for a winger isn't bad. At times it looked like he had never seen a football in his life then he would look a world beater in the next game. Its about careful management of him under a good coach not an archaic dinosaur like he had.

Just a heads-up for anyone coming to the friendly at Melksham this evening. Dont be alarmed by the sign that says "No access to football ground". About 100 yards away is a sign for the temporary access road. (This is due to the housing being built in the area).
If you are coming from the M4, you need to go past both signs and do a u-turn at the roundabout by the Water meadow pub. If you are coming from the Calne direction you will be coming that way anyway. Hopefully that is clear enough!
For what its worth, Melksham drew 1-1 with Bristol Rovers last Friday. Rovers played a different team in each half with a handful of first-team players in each.
