Its a very hard one, has a club historian not issued a list for Swansea ?

There is a Cardiff one, but there are a lot of fixtures missing from it and also quite a few mistakes

Thanks for your help both.

I've had a look at most researched books but there doesn't seem to be anything out there that lists all friendlies. The usual down here though, unless it's a player A-Z we're pretty poor at anyone issuing anything else. A shame really. But i'm trying

Thanks Eck.
Have seen this one, a good cash funded read that tells a bit that most know down here, but not very much. Fans and past players deserve more of a club museum or archive, an online window would be all it takes with maybe a small room or cabinet at the club stadium. It was only 2 years ago we started to put player of the year up on the supporters bar walls, though some pics were the wrong date and they only went back about 4 seasons. Pretty poor show really. All clubs should have them. Plenty of money flying around this league.

I had the same problem with the Swansea friendlies so i asked my mate Gwyn, the programme seller in the club shop at the Liberty and he wrote out a list of the ones he knew of, and the programmes he has, from the second world war onwards. It helped me a lot, though he did miss a few. I can write a list for you if it helps and send it but it would take me a few days

Thanks Steve (Blackjack)

Any info/list would be brill if you could. I'm in the long process of trying to get lists and document a few things, programme related, so I can put up for fans for free! Not much in this capacity for Swansea, and there's some great ones for other Welsh clubs.
