A number of Swansea City supporters are facing the prospect of having to make a bizarre and, for them, frustrating 200-mile round trip from Cardiff to Swansea in order to attend Sunday’s south Wales derby. As is tradition, police have deemed the Championship encounter a high-risk fixture and, as such, enfored travel restrictions on away supporters. Those restrictions have been relaxed this season but only to the extent that about 100 away fans can travel to the game independently, and for Sunday’s meeting at the Cardiff City Stadium demand for a so-called direct travel ticket has significantly outstripped supply. For Swansea fans who live in Cardiff and missed out on a pass there now comes quite the excursion, especially given the coaches that go from the Liberty Stadium to the Cardiff City Stadium depart at 7.45am. Wales Online have published an article that includes online reactions from some of those affected.
