Moroka Swallows supporters are still devasted following the demise of the club.
Swallows, one of the oldest professional football clubs in South Africa, will cease to exist after its sale.
The problems of the club were long coming. The team didn’t have a sponsor since returning to the PSL. The financial difficulties forced Swallows to release 22 players in January this year, following a pay dispute.“We can’t take this you know, it’s very sad, it’s painful. This is like somebody has killed us. I don’t know why these chairmen are doing this. This is very bad; they take us for granted, this is very bad to be honest.
“Our team is going, we did not have good management, they didn’t know why they were here and what they are doing. Since we started supporting Swallows, we’ve never seen the club relegated under these people,” a supporter says. A loss for Swallows fans is a gain for the Free State Province. Bloemfontein Celtic fans are elated that top-flight football is coming back to their province following the sale of Bloemfontein Celtic several years ago.
