A photorgraph taken in the Presidents' Suite at St Helen's of the Committee of the Swansea & District Supporters' Club in the 1990-91 season. The S&DSC was formed after the First World War to help re-establish the rugby links across the clubs in the Swansea District with the Swansea Rugby Club and to encourage attendance and season tickets following the club's inactivity from 1914 to 1918. As time went on the S&DSC also helped arrange supporters trips and helped to raise funds for Swansea RFC and for the struggling smaller clubs in the district. It still operates today as a supporters' hub for the Swansea club.
