Why do Swansea fans sing 'swim away, swim away, swim away...' and do a swimming gesture? Thought they were doing it to Moore. Was it a nod to the weather conditions or what?!

Couldn't imagine wanting to go to football and ending up in the sea.

....even wear swimming caps and goggles to the South Wales derby to remind Cardiff about it.

True story.

In September 1988, after seeing their side win in Swansea, a group of around 10 Cardiff fans were chased into the sea near Swansea Civic Centre by a group of around 100 Swansea fans. Since then, Swansea fans have adopted a "swim away" gesture, in reference to the event.

A great victory to be celebrated, 10 blokes ran away from the chasing 100.

Only in football.

Probsbly why (for last few home games) I thought the new song was

"Run away - run away; ...

It turned out to be a weird "We're on our way" song,

There must be a choir practise event during the week before a match. Since the missus and I have to travel 4 hours up to every home game, we can't attend choir practise. Can somebody post a clip of what new songs have been devised, please?
