American Jacks - We like you! Don't get the wrong idea

Following a fanzine's use of a distasteful picture on it's front cover, it's important Swansea fans stateside know this isn't something the Jack Army condones



Just a quick one. America has brought us many fine technological advancements - even if there are a few things which leave much to be desired. Cheese in a can, for goodness' sake. Anyway, the reason for this blog is to point out to any fans on the other side of the pond that a recent fanzine cover (not associated with this website) in no way represents the views of most Swansea City fans. 

One of the main positives I've taken from the Swans' promotion to the Premier League is seeing our fanbase grow, and this is very true in the case of the US. TSW now has many fine American contributors, and this site would be worse off without them. What's more our new fans seem to appreciate why Swansea City are so different, and that without the fans the club is nothing.

The fanzine in question I won't name, and I won't re-publish the picture as frankly, I see no point. What I do want to stress though is that regardless of the motives of that fanzine, they do not in any way represent the views of Swansea City fans. We may be against an outside share purchase, but it has nothing to do with anyone's nationality.

I post this as I anticipate some negativity online, and hopefully this will nip it in the bud. Don't judge us all based on the actions of one person. Swansea City are proud to be an open, welcoming club. Long may that continue.
