From Fan To TV Host . . . Sioned And The Swans Are Swimming In Fresh Waters

Swansea City may currently have slipped off the pace in the Championship, but the club are front-runners in Wales when it comes to live streaming of matches. Swans TV have been showing live coverage of games – to be both a worldwide and UK subscription audience, but dependent on rights restrictions. Swans TV Live presenter Sioned Dafydd outlines her own role in the club’s recently launched streaming service. I was eight years old when my father took me to my first Swansea City match.

Swans Exposed As Far Post Softies And Graham Potter Admits: “We Have To Do Better”
