Nice to see it's joined the Fans Network group. Only decent Swansea site and they really don't like us!

Hopefully a chance for some banter a la Rivals

So your saying a small west London club that holds just 18,000 capacity,trying to punch above its weight at the moment while in a state of transition,move to a bigger stadium, build better coaching facilities, getting promoted to the premier league, on merit is everything that's wrong in football???.
Yes we've got rich owners now. So what!
Looking forward to next season. 6 points in the bag for us from the swans,no problem.


Obviously it's a bit tricky with the language barrier but from what I can gather from our new Welsh friends, it would appear that it's OK for a struggling club just out of admin to be gifted a new ground by the council in order to achieve success.

However it's very, very bad if another struggling club just out of admin is sold to people who try to achieve success by buying better players.

Is that right Jackos?

I think he means that doing all that while posting losses exceeding £50m every year is what is wrong with football.

I was born in West London by the way. I've never been too fond of QPR. I'm not sure why. I hope you get relegated this season and begin a long slide down to League 2 with Portsmouth, the 'South Coast QPR'.


Thank you Dwight, that's better than I could have put it.

Yeah and then I chime in with "Eastenders is on in ten minutes" then you call me Ivor the Engine, then I refer to you as Rodney before calling you a plonker, then Fireman Sam, Alf Garnet, then you run out of ideas and revert back to my tattoo, which i cant do back as you need proof of age to get one, and we all have a good laugh.

It cost the council £27m to build.

Since its construction, approximately £6m has been paid in rent by Swansea City and the Ospreys combined. The stadium has also hosted numerous music concerts, business events and other activities, all generating large revenues.

It has also been estimated by the Welsh tourist board that Swansea City being in the Premier League generates an extra £30m for the local economy each year.

The council are still being paid a very fair rent for the stadium, they still own the stadium and they will in the near future break even and begin profiting on the stadium. This isn't including the huge increase in commerce for the local economy since the stadiums inception.

I think it is one of the best investments any local council in the United Kingdom has made in recent times and something which is cause for praise, not criticism.

They have beaten us at home once in about 30 years lol, in my lifetime supporting Qpr I've been to an FA cup final a league cup final, when they both meant something, been runners up in the league, finished top London club on numerous occasions, was one victory from winning the league which as a result would have meant Liverpool not winning their first European cup, seen two European campaigns which would have been 4 had it not been for the scouse hooligans, in the same time Swansea have had two spells in the top flight and won a league cup. I bow to your superior greatness.

OK, using your geographically challenged logic of London, Eastenders, there is a hint.. QPR, West London, can you see how that works. Not a great deal in common,

Still it must be galling to so small behind the Bluebirds as Wales second football team. To me though you both just come from the same place, isnt Swansea and Cardiff just a big conurbation now anyway? All sound the same to me.

If so you've come to the right place. We're here all week regardless of the division we play in so if any of the long words are troubling you just give us a shout.

All these swans on our forum? Shame they were not around 5 seasons ago, but then a bit of success brings them out.
maybe it will be them that 'does a Pompey' and they will disappear back to the 3k gates, or with a bit of luck into the Welsh league.

Not a criticism at all but just a comment that not having to finance the building of a new stadium must help a clubs balance sheet
