It's understood the group turned back because of bad weather.

Swansea City Supporters Trust says it needs more detail before it can

get behind a potential ?100 million takeover of the club.

Two American investors are in talks about a deal,

which the club hopes could be agreed by the end of the season.

Yes, we can all say a change is as good as a rest,

but it is just nice to be able to go...
