What is it with these fringe premier league players, wanting more stable long term futures? |

Do people actually think the owners have direct access to takings of ticket sales and income from merchandise, food/drink etc.
Who is missing out when people decide not to go to a game - it sure isn't the owners.
If people don't go to the game, then income from ticket sales is less, and the football club suffer.
All for freedom of speech and all that, but go to the game, support the lads, if you want a beer - fill your boots, but don't think Kaplan et al give two f@cks if you don't. |

Guys,
I'm not sure if it was my facts that you were alluding to as being inaccurate - I should have said I am not one of the VPs, it is just a situation I have been made aware of , and I felt injustice was in the air.
Regardless of what is on the menu, where they sit and whether or not they pay a premium for it - the fact remains that most of this group of people have a long association with the Club, and are being treated appallingly.
Even the most "Optimistic Jack" would struggle to convince me that there is likely to be much more demand for Corporate hospitality given the current state of affairs on the pitch, and in the scheme of things would an extra 75-100 covers per matchday make that much difference.
I don't profess to have all the facts, but my point was that someone with open access to the facts or regular communications with the Owners, should be able to investigate this further, and at least ask some searching questions. |

Yes, my understanding is that it is circa £800/pa for the seat, but they pay extra for meals, and most of them sit in seats in line with the 18yd box in the West Stand. |

Not sure if this is widely known, but there are plans (announced recently by our American owners via their representative) to disband the Vice Presidents Club and it's 100 or so members and relocate them somewhere else in the stadium.
They (members) have been given a choice as to whether they will accept a 65% price increase on their season ticket and commit to a 3 year "deal" or relinquish their seat so that those seats and the Lounge they currently occupy can be used by "Corporate Customers" and their guests.
That may not mean much to most of the fanbase, but when you consider that people like Mel Nurse and Ivor Allchurch's wife for example, and people who have supported the Swans for the best part of 70 years through thick and thin (mostly thin) - are effectively being told they are no longer welcome - do people not agree that this is something that should be challenged.
I read a post yesterday about recent developments within the Football Club, and how things aren't being investigated and reported in the local press, and the inference was that the press were being paid off to put a positive spin on things.
If there was any doubt as to the intentions of our new owners, then this latest story confirms that.
What puzzles me is where do they think the extra Corporate customer base is going to come from, to watch a product which is in decline. |
