Why are Swansea City extending their stadium?

Sat Feb 08, 2014 9:38 am

Its Derby day and they cant even sell out with their own fans so have to invite the Den Haag over to fill up their ground.

Whats the point in extending if they cant fill it now in a South Wales Derby? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

That will be on hold if they go down. They made a similar mistake in 1981.

Why are the club giving tickets out to non UK citizens when you have such a small stadium and an apparent waiting list for tickets?

They aren't.

That's not what your fellow supporters are saying Roath. Are you saying that all the Jacks on here and planet Swans are incorrect?

Nope, nobody has said tickets have been given out to foreign fans. You are making it up.

What is tragic is following around someone on the internet acting like a love sick teenager :lol:

You have given a link to a thread where nobody has said tickets have been given away. Seems you are wrong belieber :D

Re: Why are Swansea City extending their stadium?

The link contains another link to planet swans and many complaints about it from your fellow supporters. Though I suppose a tragic armchair fan like you will refuse to acknowledge this. Any real jack would be there today.

Think the point is swansea have sold tickets to foriegn fans when their own fans are crying out for tickets? but suppose ole is being perdantic about what you said! Given away instead of sold!

It isnt pedantic at all. It is critical to the point being made.

If we "gave them away" then it would suggest we cannot sell our alloted tickets and such a thread is warranted. If we sold them to foreign fans then surely that suggests the demand streches beyond SA18 and thus an expansions is indeed needed.

Vastly different.

Depends if that demand was forthcoming or the club put out the offer. If they put out the offer then the suggestion by the club is that, they couldn't sell out by incoming demand alone and that must concerned many Swansea fans.

50 tickets were set aside by John Van Zweden our dutch director because our Den Haag contingent wanted to go before they went on sale.

This is one of the most ridiculous threads ive seen for some time, and that is saying something :D

Oh come on don't be so innocent. You're on a Cardiff City forum, did you expect us to praise the handing over of tickets that could have gone to local Swansea fans, if they wanted them that is. Especially when we could use it to wind you up.

You have an odd view of rivalry.

It isn't worthy of praise or ridicule really is it. Im amazed such a non story can get so many frothing at the mouth.

Far be it for me to tell people what to post, but im simply here to answer the questions being fielded. However the situation pretty much speaks for itself.
