00:00Obviously, I guess it's probably been a tough week to be a Swans fan, but without putting words into your
00:03mouth,
00:05what's your general reaction to what's happened this week without commenting on any allegations?
00:10Disappointment that the players have broken the club rules.
00:14We have an expectation of a standard of behaviour from the players that play for the Swans.
00:19Been disappointed from that point of view, but we support the club wholeheartedly.
00:25The club itself is what this is about, not the individual players.
00:29They'll come and go over the years, but it's the club itself that we support.
00:33I know there's been some talk of people perhaps staying away, but you're obviously here, I imagine, both for the
00:40women's game.
00:40Are you here for the women's and the men's game?
00:42Most definitely.
00:43Both games.
00:43You don't punish the boys in the rest of the team?
00:46No.
00:46We're here to support the club.
00:48We're here to support the rest of the players, and we will cheer as loudly as we normally do, if
00:52not more loudly.
00:53Good on you.
00:54And last thing there, how well do you feel the club have handled the whole situation?
00:57Because it obviously has been difficult for them, I imagine.
01:00It has.
01:00At least they've taken a stance, and they've brought about the behaviour standards of the club that have been broken.
01:07And as far as I'm concerned, the punishment for the breaking of the club rules is just.
01:13How well do you feel the club has handled the situation this week?
01:16Apart from perhaps a few words that were a little bit too soft at the very start, but perhaps they
01:22didn't really know the full whatever.
01:25But on the whole, I'm a bit surprised but happy with what they've done.
01:31I texted my friend and she said immediately, do the crime, do the time.
01:35If you've done what you've done, okay, stand down.
01:37But meanwhile, let's just support the rest of the club, and especially the women, for the rest of this weekend
01:44and for the rest of their season.
