Some good moments
This film pushes all the right emotional buttons but so much of it is a bit lacking.

There seems to be too much fluffy filler rather than story-telling. Some of the filler: Baton girl, Anorexic fan (why is she representative of all fans? No others were really featured) and no interviews with Brendan Rodgers – the most influential manager of Swansea – ridiculous.

I did enjoy the Roberto Martinez story and Lee Trundle (no interview again.) In fact it was weird how there were interviews missed from many key individuals. Oh well. I lived in South Wales when I was younger so this film resonated with me quite a bit the landscape that Leon Brittain alludes to remains with me as a lasting impression the slag-heaps and industrial skyline.

As an emotional story this works quite well. As an informative documentary not so much.

worthy but ultimately failed sports doc
what a pity. a great story but….poorly told, poorly put together. e.g. early on we get a lot of talking heads but ….who are they? eventually we find out….eventually. & the chairman petty story is very unclear. OK, he buys the club for a pound but what exactly was his ‘rip off’ strategy? did he intend to sell the ground for development? did the club actually own the ground? was his main consultant actually involved in the porn business? what you do get is the love & passion & commitment of real fans, a fast disappearing breed. although perhaps we could have done without so much of the vodka breakfast of champions of the girl with the eating disorder….
