Yes, truly amazing that I am aware of information available in the public domain :lol:

Seeing as we don't actually own the stadium, why would we put any money directly into its build? :?

You still seem to be swerving the issue of Cardiff Council gifting land to the your club which was then sold shortly afterwards to pay the taxman. If that isn't local government assistance I don't know what is. In case you're confused, here's the link. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/footbal ... 531645.stm

Not lost the argument. Answer my questions properly please. How much have the cva 5p in the £ shafters paid towards the stadium from their own pockets?


Are you having difficulty reading this evening?

Now seeing as I've answered yours, are you going to answer mine?

No problem at all. How much have scfc paid towards the liberty? Simple question for a simpleton?

An additional point. Sad that you are on here on such a regular basis really. Have you not got a life?

Ah again with the abuse eh Gareth.

Ok, I'll type this slowly so you can understand. We paid nothing directly towards the build of a stadium that isn't ours but pay money, along with the Ospreys, into a sinking fund that is used for the upkeep and maintenance of the stadium. Last year this was in excess of £1m.

Did you understand that or would you like me to type it in a different way so you can grasp the concept?

Now, if you got that you can go back to avoiding my questions :laughing6:

Actually the council sold land to fund the stadium, and every swans fan who lives in swansea would of contributed to any cost through paying council tax and other indirect taxation, simple as that.. :thumbup:

"The council is already guaranteed to enjoy a cash windfall from City’s promotion. As part of the lease for the stadium land, the club owes the authority a one-off payment of £720,000 plus interest.

City will also have to fund an annual £250,000 bursary for the development of footballing talent among schoolchildren in the capital each year they remain in the top flight."

Not such a bad deal for local tax payers now is it?! Any comments Jack?
