Swansea to celebrate without a trophy
Defiant Swansea boss Roberto Martinez says the League One champions will celebrate after the last home game of the season despite not having a trophy.
The Swans were crowned champions last weekend after rivals Carlisle lost.
But the Football League has refused to hand over the League One trophy until Leeds United's arbitration hearing over a 15-point deduction has been settled.
"It's the last home game, it's our home and we can do whatever we want," said Martinez.
"The fans and players deserve it and I think we should celebrate what has been a very exciting season and create something special to remember."
