Jacks to expand stadium to 27,000

Sat Mar 02, 2013 5:02 am

An extra 1300 seats to be done by next season and then another 5000 by the season after, with an option to increase further to 32,000.

22,000 is more than enough. Bet the 27000 or 32000 will never happen.

You can have planning permission but it doesn't bind you to build it.
So it's still not certain

That's like our stadium can be extended to 27,000 without major work.So you'll have to wait a bit before you get bigger attendances then us,because I believe we already have planning permission to have 35,000

ffs the club have said they want to expand, there are thousands of fans that want tickets but can not get them, so why wouldn't they expand the capacity. :?

Swansea want a bigger capacity stadium because the demand for tickets is greater than what the liberty can cope with, not so they can have a bigger stadium than cardiff. Stop being so paranoid :lol:

Buy one get one free promotion to fill it?
Or is it for away fans?

Re: Jacks to expand stadium to 27,000

Sat Mar 02, 2013 8:12 am

A bigger stadium is all they have over us now,so give them a break.
Even if they do go up u just know they are going to do what qpr done and bring in over rated players but still struggle.

A little bit? Try nearly 7k bigger jack. I'd love you lot to get a 32k stadium. You won't fill it. I know we are not there yet, but when we do and there's two premier league clubs in South Wales, you'll never fill the liberty at 32k

Re: Jacks to expand stadium to 27,000

Sat Mar 02, 2013 8:24 am

What it says is


22k now
27k if they stay up next year.

32k possibly if the club continues to grow and achieve/stay up.


Makes sense to do it in stages.


Similar to what we are doing.

28500 next summer
35000 if we stay up the summer after....

As for next season, ON THE PITCH, then who knows, we might not even go up, if we do we might struggle, or might do well. I fancy Campbell and Maynard to be decent at least, some of our players have shown they can play well against Premier sides, Turner, Taylor, Bellamy, Marshall ... who knows who we will bring in, or what kids would develop etc..


On the other hand Europe could affect the Jacks, they might lose some stars, injuries etc.. or might improve even further. That's the magic of football. Anyone making predictions 12 months ahead in football is an idiot and is sure to be shown up. We don't even have a clue what is going to happen today FFS :lol: Who would have predicted Newcastle or West Ham or even Bolton would go down ?

ffs get a life so at the moment you got 7000 more seats wow never fill 32000 we had 33000 at wembley last sunday, and you probably said swans would never get into the epl and would never win a major cup, deluded thats what you are :lol:

We've had 33k plus 4 times at Wembley. Big f*cking deal. I'm saying if there's two prem clubs in South Wales we would get the lions share of support. You've always been our bridesmaids in that respect and you know it. You enjoy it up there while it lasts,when the capital arrives in the PL nobody will remember poor old Swansea town anymore. :thumbup:

Perfect way for us to do it. Step by step. We have proven this stadium isnt big enough. Every league game sold out. Most weeks only 1000 away fans are there, as is the case again today for Newcastle. Next year 22 up from in real terms 20 a couple of years ago, then 27. If demand is still there we go again but to be honest that is irrelevant to me. As long as we are winning fooyball games I couldn't care. Also interesting to note your season ticket prices. Means despite having bigger crowds than us next year our matchday income will be considerably higher.

away support must have plummeted in the last few years? in all leagues i mean. You would think away teams would bring more than a 1000 fans wouldnt you? even if it is just swansea ;)

Sensible from them in all fairness. Expand to 22k and then to 27k if the demand is there but I have my doubts if they would get this other than when the the top clubs visit and us of course ;) The 32k will never happen. 22k is big enough for Wales' 2nd City :mrgreen: Isn't it nice to see that we'll be up to 28.5k before we've even kicked a ball in the Premier :ayatollah:
