Special day at the Liberty for 'FirstFan' competition winners

23rd June

It was a special day for father and son Neil and Jack Colman of Penlan after the Swans fanatics got to see the club's new kits up close on the weekend.

The Swans fanatics won our 'First Fan' competition ahead of the release of the new home and away kits for the forthcoming Barclays Premier League campaign.

Not only did father Neil walk away with a free home kit, but they also got to go behind the scenes at the Liberty Stadium with a special dressing room tour.

The prize came as a shock to Neil after his 11-year-old son entered the competition without him knowing.


Jack wrote to the club, stating: "This is for my dad because I want to give him something back for all the things he does for me. He is a true Swans fan and he takes me to all the games he can.

"Every Saturday he stays up after working all through the night and takes me to football all day. Even though he's really tired he doesn't go to bed and I would love to win this for him.''

Neil was surprised and delighted with his son's actions, adding: "I had a phone call on the Friday to say I had won the competition. I said I didn't even know I had entered a competition.

"Then they told me my son had entered without me knowing and I was thrilled. It's also nice to know he is grateful.''
