Good to see a first timer in the EPL next year. Swansea City is the first Welsh club to be promoted to the top level of English soccer. I know a guy who I met OS 10 years ago will be very happy. QPR and Norwich City are the other two promoted. The last time I remember QPR in the top flight was when I was a teenager (a long time ago lol).

Swansea played in the Old DIvision 1 of English football in either the 82-83 or 83-84 (Preceding Premier League) season before they were relegated at the first attempt after a good start.

I stand corrected Tucky. Teach me to listen to the media without checking :wallywink. Swansea starting in the old 4th division had 3 consecutive promotions before finishing 6th in Division 1  in 81-82. They then were relegated the following year and crashed as quickly as they rose back down to Division 4.
