It's not strictly on topic for my blog, I'm not that much of a football fan. But it was an opportunity to see something which hasn't happened for 100 years and to take a few pictures. Swansea City Football Club won the Capital One Cup on the weekend, their first major piece of silverware in the 100 year history of the club. There was an open top bus parade starting from the Dragon Hotel in the centre of Swansea and finishing at the Guild Hall. Considering the time of day (16:30 on a Tuesday) the crowds turned out in force to welcome the team and the trophy back to the city. With the global exposure that top flight football brings, lets hope that the club will do well in Europe in the coming year and also continue to do well in the Premier League, as it can only be good for the region and for Wales as a whole. For some more photographs of the parade, check out my flickr site.
