Who has the smallest stadium in the premier league

Swansea

Correct.

Swansea asked for permission to expand and the council said they wouldn't pull in an extra 4,000-7,000 fans in and offered them to do as much as 1,500.

Are you making things up again Dando?

As usual you are now going to be asked for a link..... I wont hold out hope

I know someone within Swansea council. Not making this up.

They hate to admit it but Swansea City are stuck in a catch 22 situation. They want to extend
but are loathe to part with a big chunk of money because they need that money to buy the
players to stay up. The wage bill is rising too. So the ''Family Club'' are looking for investors.
But investors come with a price. They wont just say Oh We Love Your Brand Of Football Heres
£50m, Crack On - they will want to protect that investment, they will want their own people
in. Furthermore, anyone looking to invest big money will see guess who......Cardiff City 40
miles down the road with a billionaire owner. They will do they're research and see that Cardiff
had bigger crowds even when they were in the Championship. They will see we have already
extended the ground, they will see the plans for a 42,000 seater. They will see that Swansea
cannot even claim a historical fan base from their own doorstop in Neath and Port Talbot. In
short, they will look at that 20,000 seater bike shed and wonder if there's any point making it
bigger. And if the answer is not a resounding YES.... Who on earth would pump big money into
a business that has no real room for growth. The jacks reading this will all be jumping up and
down and seething. But its true, Swansea have peaked. Top echelons of the Premiership my arse.

If the Premiership was Game Of Thrones, then Swansea City would definitely
be Tyrion Lanister. If there were three words to sum them up they would be: Ah Love 'em.

Sorry for such a simple reply to a long winded post Taffyapple but...

We have posted a profit of £32 million in the last two seasons. That alone is enough to cover any expansion twice over, that's not including the 40% extra income this term.

but. if you live in a council house. no matter how much money you got. you cant put a extension on your house. its council owned. and the council would build it. if they saw fit to? a cost to taxpayers? surely

An extension to a house doesn't generate income. An extension to a stadium does, it has nothing to do with taxpayers money.

here to help.

No expansion can take place because first and foremost Swansea council would have to pay back the 3.2m it borrowed from my council to build it! (which was written off by the way, but there is an ongoing inquiry into that one)

If it was written off then they dont have to pay it do they...

What a silly thing to say

So why have we put in the planning application?
