Leigh Dineen on 00:50 - Dec 24 with 829 views | ReslovenSwan1 | The women's team has been assimilated into the club under Colemans plan. I would imagine they will play at the stadium to replace the Ospreys in the next few years. It is likely the women will press for ever increasing share of the club s budget. This is a natural progression. They will need to get to fans through the door and generate income. | |

Not by losing more than they win they won’t. | |

Currently third in the table and they have won more than they have lost. Agreed though that recent results have been disappointing and improvement is needed. I wonder what the reason was for Dineen pulling out. | | | |

I am sure I saw a tweet where someone was very critical on how the women's team was being funded. The tweet was deleted 12 hours later. [Post edited 24 Dec 9:06]

I can't see that happening. Whilst they are in the Welsh league there isn't enough interest. They are lucky to get 50 watching them at home. If they stay in the Welsh league i can't see the club continuing to offer semi pro contracts as there is no revenue coming in from them unless the get to champions league. That is looking highly unlikely this season. | | | |

I can probably find that out. They certainly seem to have lost their way since coming into the club compared to previous seasons where they were pretty much unbeatable. It could be that he just isn't happy with the ways things are going. | | | |

Well yes and no. Yes - you are right in todays world. No - the future is to play for. Swansea City Women drew a crowd of 3,859 against Wrexham at the Swansea.com Stadium. A one off i know, but it hints at their potential. Our under 21’s get one man and a dog for a comparison. Lets see how the Cymru team qualifying for the Euros again generates additional interest. | |

If the u21 play at the stadium there is up to 400 or so and free entry. Not sure why they do not charge £2-3 for the foundation tap and go. I give credit to Leigh Dineen for funding them all these years as was reported. Another victim of the bad PR generated by the fans group in days gone by. Coleman intends to keep the Women in the Adran Premier judging by his words. He called it a " seminal moment for football in Wales". Some unfortunate wording I thought actually.

No way will the EFL allow a match before a league match, those days are long gone. | | | |

Ideally 3000-4000 will turn up play ing perhaps £5 each with the food and parking facilities open. Fans on here have been lauding the Ospreys for giving up the synergies which Swansea city provided for them. This could generate £200k a season. They should be looking for separate shirt sponsorship. The Trust could do this to help membership numbers. This will presumably cost the club lost revenue. If the Ospreys ever player entertaining rugby the 8,000 capacity will be too small and they will be locking out their fans. I expect Coleman to rinse them if the want to return for big derby games at the Swansea.com. to get lost money back. | |

They could play big games if required at Parc Scarlets as they did 3 weeks ago. Being "rinsed" is what the previous owners did. This is why it has been suggested that if the new owners took over 12 months ago the Ospreys might still be there. Water under the bridge now things have moved on, probably for the benifit of Swansea citizens. A new 4g muti functional facility for Swansea with 8,000 capacity, expect music events to be announced on a regular basis. | | | |
