It's been written many times on here, but what really is the reason(s) that this isn't happening. Do we as fans have a right to know what is really going on and the reasons why it hasn't happened? Look at the speed the CCFC built their to tier, little fuss and it was done, it makes us as their big idols seem somewhat backward.
Should there be an "inquest" into what's going on so we all know where we stand? Pun intended. |  |

The ONLY thing that will generate a multi million naming rights contract is the fact the Swans are in the Premier League. The link for the company involved will be between them and the PL and the Swans. If they require faces to front the naming and any ongoing PL connections it will be the Swans they come to so the Club are in a perfect position even though it doesn't yet own the stadium.
Of course the naming contract could/should be linked to the purchase. I don't know what numbers other Clubs get for their stadium naming rights but it's certainly in the millions so if the council are guaranteed, say, £3 m a year for the next 5 years as a result of the Swans signing the deal they may be more than happy for that to be a large part of the purchase price. |
Man City only pay Manchester council £2m a year for their naming deal with Etihad which is worth millions and millions. |  | | |

SSMC (not the council) get 15% of a full house, and naming rights is less than a million |
People keep ignoring the difference - we get a third of SSMC as well and it covers all the running costs of the stadium which otherwise we'd have to pay out.
And those naming rights have just run out - I can't quite believe that we haven't heard anything about that (unless they've negotiated a short term deal with Liberty to carry on until sorted). Weird if the stadium is just going to allow them to retain rights without a new agreement. | | | |

Well my opinion is.. if we expand, we'll have to go into a co-ownership with Swansea Council.. I'm not surprised it's being delayed.. that 70m+ debt makes this expansion drag..
....while Cardiff obviously get the 'rub'.
It's an economic and political matter.. imo. |  |

What on earth are you talking about?
All I have said is that is that we haven't expanded and we need to do so - hardly a conspiracy theory is it?
We've obviously prioritised other things (which I acknowledged and said I agree with) and now we need to push on.
Your incessant need to boost your fragile ego to show you are 'in the know' is boring.
All planning issues that may be raised or may have been raised to date will be addressed when the club decides to move on with the project - at that point I'm sure we'll see an amended planning application with details of everything from designs to traffic plans.
The entire planning process will be fully visible to everyone as it has to be published on the council's planning site - that's the way it works and people / interested parties will be allowed to comment as part of the public consultation. No one at the club or at the council will be allowed to ignore the rules behind how these processes work, no matter how much you think that there'll be stuff that only you know. |
I have told you before I'm not in the know, It's only your paranoia that keeps making you think that. It's also hardly breaking news to say the liberty needs expanding , everyone knows this. IMO the expansion will only go ahead when the finance, planning consent and probably stadium ownership is sorted out. Who knows they may push on with the expansion without the stadium ownership being sorted and if that's the case, could cause delays i.e (negotiating )spending millions on something you don't own. I simply don't buy into Huw and the rest of the board are playing games etc. |  |

The stadium is clearly not being used to its full potential,buy it,extend it and fulfill its potential.
Quids in. |
Darran, I've been reading this forum for a while, but that's probably in the top 10 of worthy posts you've ever contributed. | |

I didn't say you were in the know - I said you wanted to make it seem like you were.
I also didn't say that the board were playing games, I said that they hadn't as yet shown any real desire to get it done.
If they had, it would be getting done and any issues would be dealt with. This is simply common sense. And you're right - it is not breaking news to say it requires expansion - my point was simply that unless it starts being pushed forward this year, that, in my view, is reckless. There comes a point when the surveys and questionnaires need to stop and they need to get on with it. And the whole 'don't own' bit has turned into a given - go back a couple of years (or less actually) and it was never mentioned. | | | |

I have said more than a few times to you I'm not in the know, so if I've said that why would i want to make out I'm in the know ?. So you think that because the board don't announce publicly every meeting and every step that's being made - this shows a lack of desire lol  PMSL. You don't have to be in the know to say what you are saying Lisa is a load of crap, unless you have some concrete evidence to back up your claims......I won't hold my breath. | |

Buying the stadium means taking on all its expenses while gaining a percentage of the rugby takings (from the 10 people who show up) and whatever other massive money-spinning events it currently hosts. Plus the 10-25% of our own tickets we're paying out now, whatever it is.
Would see better value throwing £40k a week on a third-choice striker like some on this forum seem to want. | | | |

And this IMO is probably the biggest stumbling block - the stadium ownership. No doubt it'll get sorted in the end. | |

If that's the case, why wasn't buying the stadium before expanding mentioned at all by the club during our first 2 seasons in the Prem? There was plenty of talk about 'work starting in January' of our second season in this league, but no mention of having to own the stadium first.
It's hard to avoid the conclusion that the main reason to buy the stadium is to make the club more attractive to potential investors/buyers. |  |

Yes i know everything is there in the application, but you still don't know what is going on, in terms of meetings of the Swans board , do you, otherwise you wouldn't come out with such crap, such as lack of desire lol. | |

Oh dear, you're finding it hard to walk that tightrope between telling us you're not in the know and insinuating you know what's discussed in Swans' board meetings aren't you?
Otherwise why do you think It is they're not sitting there saying - bugger it - let's not bother eh?
