Who has the smallest stadium in the premier league

Devastating banter fair play , I'll start to worry when we have the worst squad

don't need to bite.

Technically they don't have a stadium. They play in the local councils rugby ground.
Typical gypos really - no fixed abode .

No point in having three bedrooms if there are only two people in the house.

:lol:

Q - Whats your point!
A - Jack obsession

When the original plans went in, we were going to build an exact replica of the Nou Camp at the end of the Mumbles Pier, sadly someone at the club pointed out that we were in League two at the time, so they scaled the plans back a bit.

What might've been eh?

That means Swansea fans would have laughed at Cardiff fans for "bigger than Barca" and Cardiff fans would have laughed at Swansea fans for the same thing. The idiots that follow both clubs would be in an unbreakable loop.

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.

Well I thought my post was pretty close to the truth. Surprised no Jacks have replied.

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.

The Ospreys ground is the smallest

A time when we arent playing competitive home European matches in pre season.

They don't own the stadium outright and share it with the ospreys who don't need a bigger capacity stadium as they cant fill it week in week out. So like any council owned property, they don't allow any altercations to their properties

what?

what part didn't you understand?

Owners - swansea council
tenants - swans - fill the stadium, want to expand
- ospreys - don't fill the stadium, don't see it viable to expand and increase their renting costs and won't put anything towards it.

Swansea need permission from the council for the go ahead to make these extensions as they own the property.

My swans mates told me all this

Owners - swansea council..... Correct
Tenants - swans - fill the stadium, want to expand..... Correct
- ospreys - dont fill the stadium, dont see it viable to make these extensions as they dont own the property... What the hell has is got to do with the osprays?

Swans need permission - indeed but is backed fully as it will bring jobs, money and more rent to the the council. Full planning application submitted and work to commence at the end of season.

Of all the ridiculous views on the liberty expansion, to think the council wont back it or that the ospreys have any say what so ever is among the most ridiculous ive heard

This is just what my swans mates are telling me.

I dunno why you don't just buy the stadium anyway and get rid of the ospreys.

Because there is no point. The ospreys dont have any impact on us what so ever and the pitch is one of the best in the league.

Why spend £50 million on something you already have? We dont need to own it to play in it, its not like we would ever sell it so whats the point? Inter milan and AC milan rent their ground off their local council and its beneficial to everyone.

Makes no sense to own a stadium unless you want to borrow money and use it as collateral ... Which obviously we dont want to do.

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.

If they weren't in the Europa league this season they would have expanded the ground to 22k. If they were to expand though, 25k - 27k is the most they would need and don't think they would get that for every game.

Are you making things up again Dando?
