On this day twenty-one years ago...
Skip back a couple of decades and the Swans were battling it out in the old Division Two with Frank Burrows at the helm. The thirteenth of March saw us triumph over Chester 4-2 at home, and that season we'd go on to make the playoffs - before losing to this Saturday's opponents West Bromwich Albion in the semi-finals. Serendipitous, eh?

I'd also like to give a mention to @ligarius, who tweeted this fantastic photo of his father waiting in line for tickets for the Swans v Preston game fifty years ago today. Like father, like son!
