whelk Posted 18 April, 2013 Share Posted 18 April, 2013 Anyone know if the park and ride is worth using? Or is lcal parking ok? This does not seem conclusive http://www.footballgroundguide.com/swansea_city/#Visiting-The-Liberty-Stadium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toofarnorth Posted 18 April, 2013 Share Posted 18 April, 2013 Anyone know if the park and ride is worth using? Or is lcal parking ok? This does not seem conclusive http://www.footballgroundguide.com/swansea_city/#Visiting-The-Liberty-Stadium I did the park and ride when I went there a couple of years ago and it was very efficient. Pretty sure parking around the ground is quite tricky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanimal Posted 18 April, 2013 Share Posted 18 April, 2013 What about that industrial estate to the south of the ground - any on street or £5 informal car parks on match days? Thats where I am headed to have a look first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Garrett Posted 18 April, 2013 Share Posted 18 April, 2013 Anyone know if we have a full squad to choose from on Saturday? Hopefully J-Rod and Shaw have fully recovered. Not sure on what team I would go with personally. Boruc; Clyne Fonte Yoshi Shaw; Cork Morgan; J-Rod Davis Gaston; Lambert Subs: Davis; Forren Fox; JWP Lallana Punch; Mayuka.

Saint Charlie Posted 18 April, 2013 Share Posted 18 April, 2013 For me: ----------------------------Boruc------------------------------------ Clyne-------------Yoshida-----------------Hooiveld--------------Shaw ------------------Morgan-----------------Cork---------------------- Ramirez-----------------------Rodriguez-----------------------Lallana ------------------------------Lambert------------------------------- Very, very harsh on Davis, but our best lineup IMO.

Saint Garrett Posted 18 April, 2013 Share Posted 18 April, 2013 Personally would have Davis in there - he keeps things ticking over really well and rarely loses the ball. Personally think playing Lambert, J-Rod, Gaston and Lallana is too much and we leave our selves far too open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty Posted 18 April, 2013 Share Posted 18 April, 2013 Hoping for a result, but expecting Swans 3 - Saints 1. Also, I'm with St Garrett on Davis, I reckon we'll be in with a far better shout if he starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 18 April, 2013 Share Posted 18 April, 2013 For me: ----------------------------Boruc------------------------------------ Clyne-------------Yoshida-----------------Hooiveld--------------Shaw ------------------Morgan-----------------Cork---------------------- Ramirez-----------------------Rodriguez-----------------------Lallana ------------------------------Lambert------------------------------- Very, very harsh on Davis, but our best lineup IMO. I can't include Ramirez in our best line-up at the moment, because he simply isn't one of our better options at present, Davis offers much more in terms of 90mins. Would rather have Jay and Lallana on the flanks, and Davis just behind Lambert. In terms of ''names'' it probably is our best line-up, but it shouldn't be decided on that.

stcappy Posted 18 April, 2013 Share Posted 18 April, 2013 As someone fairly local, there is on street parking but you will need to get there early and there isn't much in the way of pubs etc at the ground. If you come off at junction 45, it is a few minutes off the junction in the direction of the stadium. You will see some car showrooms across a roundabout and you take the junction off the roundabout to the right of those. The park and ride that did run from just off the motorway at junction 45 (and was there last time we played them) is no longer in use - it runs from elsewhere in the city. It's a long walk from the centre to the stadium - but taxi is easier enough. If your on the train there is a shuttle bus from the station to the ground. There is a retail park by the ground but they don't allow parking for the game. There is a morrisons beyond the retail park - again not suppose to park there but it does have a 3 hour limit. There will be quite a few Cardiff saints there with the flag which might get an interesting reaction off the locals! Then again it might not!

tomf05 Posted 18 April, 2013 Share Posted 18 April, 2013 Agreed. Davis is far more effective than Ramirez in that role away from home. Want Ramirez to play just so he improves and in the hope something magical might happen but just don't let him take free kicks! Make Rickue capt and bring on lallana as fresh legs for Ramirez in Second half! Maybe lunch for a tiring Davis too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minty Posted 19 April, 2013 Share Posted 19 April, 2013 I think this is exactly the kind of game where our high pressing and up-tempo approach will disrupt their game and deny them the time and space to play the way they like to play, similar to how we beat Liverpool, Man City and Chelsea. All depends on the chances we create and convert IMO, so I'm going for a 2-1 win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
