I have no issue with you when you're on RoathMagic or TheUnwashed.

I'm just sick and tired of all these multis.

The only reason people have new usernames is when other ones are banned for no reason.... unless they are polo or Barnett.

you are blaming the wrong people for that.

at the end of the season we freed up 500 seats that were unavailable and managed to squeeze an extra 500 seats in, taking season ticket availability from 15,500 to 16,500 which are all long gone.

Evidence of this? Attendances show to be the same.

You've been banned hundreds of times but seeing as you're the saddest person on the forum, instead of understanding, caring or respecting the fact that your famous trolling isn't welcome, that will never stop you will it?

Your life away from this Cardiff City forum must be particularly tragic

The fact we sold 16,500 season tickets is proof of this.

you haven't seen a difference in attendance because we haven't played any games since last season.

Once I get banned for a genuine reason that I believe to be fair, I will stop posting and respect that.

However banning me for saying my pretty fair opinions, and labelling them as ''trolling'' to justify it certainly wont stop me, no. My life is great and post just as much as you, just under various names due to circumstances I cannot control. that's your department.

No proof of what?

If we haven't increased then the fact we have sold 16,500 is against Premier League rules and should be reported immediately. I think you are the man for the job Chucks. Let us know when you have a reply.

No proof of you selling that many tickets or of you extending.

Record season ticket sales is surely newsworthy, as is any extension to a small stadium.

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.

If 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 League.

Last week, the club announced a record £15.9m net profit for the six months up to the end of November 2012.

it is hardly newsworthy, that news report was before the increase happened, nothing since. the record sales also didn't make it to the news it was just on our official site, hence the link.

Passive aggressive.

You know full well what you're doing.

I obviously knew that if any work had been carried out it would have been done in the past few weeks/months. I was more interested in finding out the exact nature of the work and the full level of expansion.

Passive aggressive is a term used to describe people who debate without getting angry or don't rise to the bait of insults, simple as that. You told me to f**k off and I replied with Dear Lord yet you are having a go at me for aggression, passive or otherwise.

So you knew the answer to the question you asked but wanted an answer to a completely different question that you didn't even ask, yet are blaming me for not answering.'

nice.

Passive-Aggressive Behaviour. Definition taken from Wikipedia:

Passive-aggressive behaviour is behaviour that expresses aggression in an indirect, passive way. This includes procrastination, hostile jokes (though jokes in general are recognized as a method of expressing veiled hostility),[citation needed] stubbornness, resentment, sullenness, or deliberate/repeated failure to accomplish requested tasks for which one is (often explicitly) responsible.

The evidence is attendances. Just look at the last time we were in the same league. What was it? 8,000 :laughing6:

That means nothing.. years ago.. Currently Swansea City have more fans than Cardiff City and there is no proof to say otherwise...
:thumbup:


f**k thicko last season you got 20000 compared to our average of 23000 and we got 26000 on occasion too. What more evidence do you need? And I'm not interested in ground capacity it's not our fault we are bigger just a fact of life ;)

I genuinely cant. in fact the only traits I see on the list is ones you just displayed in that one. procrastination and failure to undergo basic requests. ive been very polite where as you have been aggressive, passive and otherwise.

still awaiting examples.

Our fans will cope in the Prem, in the Champ its different the expectation to do better is high because of the squad we had but in the Prem the reality is that most City fans should realise that we will be out of the game in terms of possession some times because of the quality of player in the Prem, I for one hated the fact we were on the players backs every time they made a mistake last season but i dont see it as a problem those moments actually were just before we started making some more atmosphere in the game
