Class boys!!!! Brings back memories !!! The old vetch😢!! Greeting from a Turk just across the loughar bridge!! LLANELLI!

[@mikeo3151]

i didnt manage to get a ticket for the hull game so i went skateboarding around town with a few mates..we didnt need a radio to know what was going on we could hear the crowd from castle gardens

[@seanhdzan9551]

Thanks for uploading this. Sure brought the memories all flooding back. Stayed at Richardson St, and the Vetch was always brilliant. You could have a couple thousands of Jacks in there, and it would always seem full from the outside because we never stop singing. Standing on the terraces was the best football memory in my life.

[@NobleDistortion]

Proud to have stood on the North Bank :')

[@markpowell3828]

I started watching the swans when I was 7yrs old im now 50, the Vetch with out a doubt brings back great memories, climbing from the forth division to the old division 1, Away at Preston + won 3-1, beating Leeds 5-1 in our 1st game in division 1, the North bank crammed with fans.Those were the best days... LOVED THOSE DAYS.

[@timmatthews22]

Mark Powell let's be fair, swansea are a fucking joke.

[@cwmbranjack]

miss the old girl when we left the vetch it felt like saying goodbye to a old girlfriend good and bad memories but the vetch always in my heart

[@yeetwchybaban]

Ok

[@paulwilliams2807]

Brings back some memories had some good times wicked well missed jack army convent garden jack

[@123mattmcg]

there is nothing like it, I wil never forget my first time going there it was just fantastick

[@MOGGS1942]

Due to safety restrictions the crowds at The Vetch were much reduced. The attendance for this game was around 13,000,whereas,in it's heyday,32,000 plus crammed into the ground. I know because I was there. The atmosphere was very intimidating,especially when The North Bank got going. Happy days.

[@leeperryismerry]

Great to see how far they've come from almost being Relegated to Non-league Respect.

[@karen10sonia]

I remember a night game v Arsenal in the league cup years ago stood on the north bank and it was packed like sardines . There were 2 lads holding crash helmets stood in front of us who were constantly turning round. They were obviously away fans who thought the side of the ground they were in would have been less partisan . They had mistakenly chosen to stand in the worst possible place in the entire ground - the north bank literally surrounded by thousands of standing jacks . They obviously didn't know the layout of the ground . Fair play they stayed there the entire game with no bother but I've never seen 2 blokes so nervous in my entire life.

[@TEF1981]

I really miss standing on the north bank, it'll be a sad day when the vetch in torn down

[@richardcopp]

Top Video mate

[@oldishjack]

Shame they had to cut the northbank in half, when the old north bank was in full voice now that was special

[@rushs11]

Hey, The US is actually gonna find out you guys exist this season

[@danwales1990]

A sensible comment, so we will. Is th Vetch still there atm, just out of interest? I'd have thought they'd knocked it down by now, surely make some good money selling it off for housing?

[@SpassMacher2000]

we'll see what happens on November 30th at the Liberty.

[@JJ81]

What are they gonna do with the vetch now?

[@surge1927]

Either "cheer up lennie lawrence..."or Tate singing "Cardiff City falling down", don't you find it strange that whether you're celebrating staying in the football league or celebrating going to the premiership you're first thought is of Cardif? Congrats on the promotion btw, the world is watching now so try not to embarrass us Welsh.

[@MOGGS1942]

Nothing "strange" about it, since Cardiff are the near neighbours from Hell. It's called rivalry. Re Swansea possibly embarrassing "us Welsh". Not much sign of that happening, although this season was a sterner test than most. Referring back to " embarrass us Welsh", your lot did just that on your brief visit to the P.L. Best keep schtum, eh ? Lol.

[@yeetwchybaban]

moggs lmao

[@danwales1990]

Did you notice how much of that atmosphere was A.) Generated by songs being played over the PA and B.) Anti-Cardiff; who were at the time in a better league, with better prospects even then. I detect a hint of jealousy such is the volume of anti-Cardiff sentiment.

[@yeetwchybaban]

Eh

[@MrCyberSaint]

I'm a Cardiff fan but The Vetch and Ninian Park were defiantly most intimidating places to go for any team

[@newportcounty91]

Newport County fan here but ive always liked and respected Swansea wish id got the chance to go to the Vetch it looked like it had a fantastic atmosphere wish you all the best for promotion this year you're much better than those clowns in legoland/cardiff city stadium! All the best from the Port

[@johnnyfartpants4801]

The old grounds had far more atmosphere than these insipid new things.

[@Peace_and_love_24]

I couldn't agree more

[@SyTheMetalhead]

PAFC. Used to love going to the Vetch, proper ground with a proper atmosphere. Always had fun with the jacks as well, fun days

[@benanderson934]

Atmosphere was phenomenal R.I.P VETCH FIELD :(

[@waynekieft4952]

[@JordanJonesyMedia]

Love how County hate Cardiff, bus stop in Cardiff x

[@welshman30]

Still get goosebumps with Thomas' goal. Great day at the end.

[@ryanpickrell5694]

Miss this place so much. 5000 in there would sink our fishbowl we have now.

[@SpassMacher2000]

yeah, the Vetch is still there. The pitch looks like a small jungle now though. Its all locked and gated.

[@-x565x-5]

Disappointed not to go to the vetch as I was born the same year it was made

[@nicholasjenkins4031]
