Swansea players footing bill for 3,000 tickets for away fans at Sunderland

Nice gesture.

Swansea's fate now lies in their own hands, with Paul Clement's side travelling to Championship-bound Sunderland next Saturday.

Both defender Alfie Mawson and Clement said the atmosphere played a key role during Swansea's win over Everton, with captain Leon Britton initiating a plan for the players to pay for the tickets of up to 3,000 fans next week.

"I think it's a fantastic idea," said Clement. "It's a shame we can't bring everyone. It's great that it has been done and organised by the players."

Could they not sell out such an important away game anyway?

Could they not sell out such an important away game anyway?

Where does it say they haven't / wouldn't?

The Albion paid for 'all' of our coaches to Norwich as a thank you, and provided food and drink vouchers with every ticket. It doesn't mean it wouldn't have easily sold out anyway.

Given it was announced today and it was not sold out - for a game in 5 days time suggests they otherwise would not have done


Sorry it was announced a couple of days back, however that suggests it was not going to sell out

700 mile round trip. Leaving 6:30 getting back 1 am.
Not sure Brighton would manage 3000 if we were near the bottom.
