To all of our friends

Thank you for supporting the Vietnam Swans as we are about to make our inaugural appearance at the Asian Championships.

We have 44 people joining us from Hanoi, Saigon, Laos, Cambodia, Tianjin (China), Singapore, Canberra, Sydney and Melbourne. We have received messages of support from some of the biggest names in football: Tony Morwood, Bobby Skilton and Clark Crackers Keating (see postings below). The Saigon Rugby Club has also sent us their best wishes.

We have enjoyed magnificent support from Jim Beam, M Gard, The Office and Jaspas – and all those people who supported our raffles.

Tomorrow is the culmination of a lot of hard work from a lot of people. We’re relishing the challenge and opportunity.

Updates on the blog (which has nearly had 4,000 hits) will occur – but sporadically. We’re hoping to have score updates during the actual day so that those who can’t be in Bangkok, will still feel part of it.

Thanks again.

Phil Johns
