Match 16 of 25/26 - West Bromwich Albion (A)
A well deserved point, and hoping the rainbow is a sign of better days ahead. 💙🌈🦉
Another win on the coach bingo too, so £47 better off. 🎉 #swfc

Tonight's #LetsLiftTheCurfew run / walk with Team Manvers supporting the @thisgirlcanuk.bsky.social campaign to promote a safer environment for women to engage in physical activities, especially in the winter months.
Great to see so many people attending.

Match 15 of 25/26 - Oxford United (H)
An all too familiar performance & result where we started badly, but battled back brilliantly & couldn't get a result; but the score was immaterial today.
An historic day & hopefully the start of getting our club back.
A day full of emotion. Fans superb. 💙 #swfc

Match 14 of 25/26 - Middlesbrough (H)
Another match boycotted and a loss which could've easily been a draw.
Great to see so many fans stand together and boycott for the greater good.
I hope the man whose name covers the seats gets the message and leaves. Could see my seat on the Kop too. #swfc ⚫🟡

Match 13 of 25/26 - Charlton Athletic (A)
Our luck in winning £50 on the coach bingo, & Charlton House cafe undercharging for lunch, then telling us to keep the money and enjoy the day in London when we told them, didn't last into the game.
Proud of team & fans & lovely to meet Bob Bolder #swfc ⚫🟡

Match 12 of 25/26 - Coventry City (H)
I feared the worst after the effort of a threadbare squad on Tuesday, and was unfortunately proved right.
Sorry for the team who are doing the best they can but don't have the squad depth or quality.
Perhaps lino was blinded for the offside by the Cov shirts 😡

I'm finding it tough coming back from injury and getting blown about and drenched in Storm Amy really didn't help this morning.
At least it dried up for a while and I caught a rainbow.
Note to self: keep turning up and it will get easier! #running #StormAmy

Match 11 of 25/26 - Birmingham City (A)
An injury time draw which felt like a loss. Great effort and some lovely play which deserved a win. With a looming points deduction it's unlikely to matter in the end anyway. ⚫🟡🦉
Nice to see a reminder of happier days "Tricky Trev's Barmy Army" 💙

Match 10 of 25/26 - QPR(H)
Another Black and Gold day. The protest is growing with so much more colour on show this week, and the kiosks closing early a sign that boycotting is working. ⚫🟡
A much better home performance especially from the young lads; a point the minimum they deserved. #swfc

Thank you. Unfortunately not; a fellow Wednesdayite at the wedding had a dodgy feed and updated us for the first goal, but we missed the second half whilst we had the meal and speeches. A great win for the boys 💙

Match 9 of 25/26 - Portsmouth (A)
First away game missed whilst at a lovely wedding in Hampshire.
Had to get updates when I could; brilliant for the Owls to get a first win of the season #swfc

Match 8 of 25/26 - Grimsby Town (H)
Another match boycotted.
I'm sorry that the young players who have done so well in the cup won't get more playing minutes, but glad to be out of the cup.
At least it's less funding for Chansiri and less opportunity for fans to fall out about attending or not #swfc

Match 7 of 25/26 - Bristol City (H)
Felt pretty much like a repeat of Stoke City and Swansea City. A better second half, but mistakes easily punished and not enough quality to respond to going behind.
I'm relying on the faint hope that the rainbow at the end was a sign of better days ahead. #swfc 💙

Match 6 of 25/26 Swansea City (H)
Lots of effort and commitment but again let down by the size and the quality of the squad.
Great to meet up with some of @swfcwsg.swfc.social members and collect a specially made black and gold shirt.🖤💛

Match 5 of 25/26 - Leeds United (H), but I wasn't there as I'd boycotted it.
The first home game I could've attended and didn't, in over 30 years.
So proud of that young team and the older players who have supported them on and off the field.
So much character in this team. 🦉💙 #swfc

We need a consistent and united stance from all members of the EP, and all the Trust has done is thrown everyone else under the bus. It's not the first time either.
Attending the EP and showing the regulator that Chansiri doesn't engage is vital.
It smacks of egos clouding judgement for likes.

To be honest our away support is awesome but home support quiet. After today I'm sure you'd be welcomed at Hillsborough. Let's hope we have a new owner by then. 🤞

Thanks for your support. We're certain to be relegated, and who knows when or if we'll get a new owner, but I'll support the club as I have for 45 years, and the solidarity from other fans so far this season is special and means a lot.

Match 4 of 25/26 Wrexham (A)
A great away day & well deserved point @wrexhamafc.co.uk
What this squad lacks in numbers & experience it makes up for in determination & togetherness
Massive thanks to #WxmAFC fans who made the ground a sea of black and gold. ⚫🟡
Your support won't be forgotten. #swfc 🦉

I think we have to accept that some fans just won't get involved, and some cant; my parents (aged 79 and 82) joined in the late protest at Leicester but can't walk far or fast (though we did walk to the park entrance).
I was more disappointed in the small number buying drinks and wearing new shirts.
