That atmosphere tonight

Yep, first stage extended for the start of next season

This Is FACT, despite having no mock up images, no confirmation of any work, no announcement from your club that it is confirmed at all?

Okay.

Swansea City are looking to expand the size of the Liberty Stadium to cater for the huge demand for Premier League football.

The club have submitted plans to increase the capacity, which from next season will be 22,500, to around 33,000.

backed by Swansea council, work will be carried out over three phases.

The club have included how they will handle the extra traffic that an increased capacity will bring.

In a statement, the club said: "The works proposed would see the extension of the North, South and East stands of the stadium in a phased manner over the next three to five years.

"The proposals seek to capitalise on the success of the football club during their first two seasons in the Barclays Premier League, help consolidate this status and remain part of the top flight for many years to come.

"Works that are proposed for the stadium would look to increase its capacity by approximately 11,000 spectators."

Phase one could begin at the end of next season and would see the East Stand capacity increased by 3,844 which does not include completing the corner sections. The other two phases would follow.

The Liberty Stadium is currently the second smallest ground in the Premier League at 20,500, behind Queens Park Rangers' 18,500 Loftus Road home.

The Swans are selling out every match at the Liberty, which is also the home of the Ospreys regional rugby team and opened in 2005.

Under separate plans, the club intends to increase the stadium's capacity to 22,500 in time for the start of next season by making changes in the West Stand that will also see new media and hospitality facilities.

Work is also underway on new training facility near the ground in Landore which as well as a main training base and academy in Fairwood.

Swansea have enjoyed a successful first two seasons in the Premier League and in February won their first major trophy, the Capital One Cup, earning them a place in next season's Europa Leagu

Old news. "Could" being the operative word. You haven't even submitted the final plans to the council yet

We"could"be a champions league club by then

"Swansea City ARE LOOKING to expand.

No confirmation there..

Also that article states that your ground is 22.5k this season (article was written last year as it states QPR as a premiership side) so either that's rubbish too, or you aren't selling out your stadium?

Oh yawn

Words from the chairmans mouth, trust meeting, few days ago. Plans in and finalised after working with council at xmas with work looking to increse the stand by over 3,000 seats in phase one.

Are you sure you and barnett arent twins..

And I pay for the up keep of my house and colect all the profits from it.
However if I dont pay the mortgage then the bank takes it back.
So wile I say im a home owner! In fact I aint as only when I have the deeds will I own it barry.
Please try harder as its easy mate

No confirmation in the public domain then, something I'd expect if a stadium expansion was confirmed..

So which is it, the article was incorrect, or you aren't selling out the Lib?

No you own the house, they just "Repossess" the house if you don't make payments.

It's called repossession, because it isn't owned by them before they repossess it.

you could be what

Ok ok lets tell them what they clearly want to hear.

We are really bad, terrible team, will probably go down. We will never expand, nobody thinks we have a good atmosphere, we are so lucky in every game and are constantly in a false position, huw jenkins keeps all the money for himself and cardiff are leading europe in terms of football and atmosphere regardless of the fact they have on,y produced it in 2 games over the course of 5 years. We are not worthy indeed

Sounds about right.

I'm well aware that plans have been submitted, but they haven't been confirmed & rubber stamped, so to say that it's a fact that the liberty is going to be expanded for next season is rather naive.. Surely you can agree?

For example, Cardiff have confirmed plans and show images and given a start date, therefore it's okay to say that it's a fact that its going to happen.

Swansea have done none of this.

The ones who ratify it are the ones who helped draw up the plans in the first place due to the fact its in their interest. Come on, some sense barry please.

Ps barry, fair play u would disagree on black not being white.
Last week was a full front page on the plans in the evening post.
And its been well documented since last season that plans have gone in and work will start at the end of tje current season.
If u google evening post u can look back to last week and see for your self.
As iv said its all been one step at a time.
Last season academy for the kids, this season the squad and next will be the ground?.
We plan our future not jump in head first and create huge debt that could ruin our club.
Been there and learnd from it.

No confirmation of any work that is going to start then& waddle basing this on an inaccurate article written last year..

Unless the article is accurate & you just aren't selling out the liberty this season?

Explain barry? Why are u so concerned about our stadium plans!.
You are try very hard to dismiss the plans and suggest its all lies and not true.
Come on barry explain to us all why u care and why this has botherd u so much

If that's the case, there would be an Internet link for confirmation that it is going ahead? Or a start date? Please provide one.

Every home game in the prem is a sell out as its been since we got her.
Try harder barry please as u like a dog chasing his tail again

I'm not bothered. I fully expect the Jacks to expend the Liability Stadium at some point, but some posters on here are claiming that its a fact that you will expand in time for next season, yet cannot back this up with any dates, pans or even confirmation that this is going to happen.

In fact, to back this up, waddle dragged up an article that was over a year old & one that said this season you will have expanded to 22.5k - is this true? Are you not selling out the liberty this season?

So you'll understand why I don't quite believe you yet.

Not according to the article that waddle used as proof that you will expand for next season...

It says that you have 22.5k this season..

Or was the article that was provided as "proof", not very accurate?

Bless .
You can ho read for your self barry it on the evening post web site.
Im sure if u are that concerned u can take a look.
Ps answer please why u so upset about this?

People are claiming tan will to the debt to equity as fact but dont have dates. Your nitpicking a little and thats insanely boring.

Well, more fool them then. Not surprised though, he's got most City fans fooled.

I'm not nitpicking, I'm posting facts. The only proof that this is confirmed was a year old article that was widely inaccurate.

Didnt see it but know for a fact that u cant buy tickets gor home games because they are gone well before the day of the game.
Ps how can u say we dont sell out when there was loads of emty seats against man city?

so if you fully expect us to expand what the hell are you arguing about !!

the reason i dug that up was because you wanted written evidence of plans being submitted which it stated in that article i should have used some selective editing but couldn't be arsed
I think it was nj that provided a link to swansea council planning dept a few months ago but i can't be arsed to dig that deep maybe he'll put them up later

You can't see it, can you? The article posted was a year old & said that you would be 22.5k this season... So how can that article be used to back up statements, when it's already been proved wrong?!

Come on now Paul, there weren't "loads" of empty seats. Stop being silly.

... And the chairman who stated it in the fans forum you mean?

Barry it was fron page last week ffs.
Swans to expand stadium along with new naming rights.
Plans were drawn up last season and thats what waddle put up, but it alls says for this season.
Now the plans are to be submitted by xmas so a start date can be confirmed and work will start end of season.

Im going to stop posting for a week and just read Chuckles posts. Perfect entertainment. He is annoying at times, actually most of the time, but he sure knows how to get the Jacks riled. Comedy at its best. A nice week off before Freshers kicks in, i'll do some work and watch Barry break the Jacks down one by one.

He doesnt annoy, i just find him incredulous. I dont know how anyone can get riled by such nitpicking. Like you he has the potential to be a good poster but gets bogged down in this petty nonsense all too often.
