Am I right to presume that a revenue rise like that is substantial to the point where it should present SCFC with the ideal opportunity to purchase the Liberty Stadium/fund first phase stadium expansion outright and with relative financial ease?......Providing SCFC does not go overboard with transfer market activity?
SCFC has now consolidated itself in the Premier League, has a quality squad, has money left over from the Bony sale and does not have to up the wages for players already under contract.
If the club sticks with the same prudent financial management its displayed up until now an expanded and owned by SCFC Liberty Stadium must surely become THE major plus and side effect of this new TV deal? Or is it just wishful thinking from myself?

I have truly enjoyed the schemes and dreams in this thread, but Hope springs eternal but ends in Reality.
What can't figure out is (1) why would we "need investment," then?
And (2) will this make shareholders even more eager to sell out, and the "investors" to buy in?
Or [3] will the potential dividends in future actually be worth more than a sell-out to the Americans?
on (1) we wouldn't need investment if we stay in the PL far as I can see
on (2) it'll just make the investors more eager to buy, rather than our current board more eager to sell, although I'd do a quick renegotiation on the selling price if I was them
on (3) yes I think they could easily be over the longer term as long as we stay in the PL
and that's the crux to the current board, if there was a guarantee we could stay in PL then no need at all to sell, but there's no such guarantee of course so the urge to sell will remain I'm afraid. Wish it wasn't so.
Oh,..Dave, what's occuring?

Quote article about the projected revenue increase: "And the estimated basic £99m income for being part of the Premier League — not including any extra cash for finishing higher than 20th — is more than the TV cash the Swans earned during their first two years following their 2010 promotion from the Championship".
This is the reason for my earlier previous posting on this thread topic. Will an absolute golden deal like this empower SCFC with the revenue and financial muscle to both buy the Liberty Stadium and complete the proposed 1st phase expansion?
The potential revenue income stream for SCFC is now absolutely staggering when you add ticket sales, commercial revenue, sponsorship etc into the mix! Is this TV deal the reason/part reason why HJ has been involved with the council regarding a Liberty Stadium purchase?

Anything over £25 a ticket is obscene in reality.
The fact is is £45 for a third of the season is eye watering.
There is no excuse when such obscene money is coming into the game. The FA needs to do something to give the game back to the fans that make the game what it is.

Just cap tickets in general at £20, with £10 for kids and pensioners.
If the club came out on the back of his news and said the season after next that ST's would be £200 and matchday tickets £20, there'd be massive pressure on other clubs to follow suit. Could coincide nicely with the additional capacity

I agree re matchday pricing - I think seasons are a good deal anyway, but if we announced unilateral prices of say £25 maximum, the pressure on the others would be huge and I think they would follow.

The PL is a product, an excellent product, with an ever expanding global market. The ratio of TV rights money to actual gate receipts for a club like Swansea is probably close to 10-1. Of course the FA, and anyone involved in the business (players, managers, agents, media etc etc), will continue to defend the "traditions of the game" but increasingly it appears to be merely lip service. It's still the beautiful game and we'll all continue to enjoy and debate our favorite players but even a well run provincial team like Swansea eventually will become more and more identified with the real "club" (ie membership of the PL).

It certainly is a great product, however that product would fall flat in 24 hours without the fans. Sponsorships would collapse and tv bids would diminish.
The footballing world must realise that the fan is king and makes this game what it is. We should no longer be treated as cash cows and with contempt. Its shocking. Especially now that gate receipts make up such a small part of clubs revenue. Im stunned at the match day experience at British games, it is dire.
I highly recommend going to other countries to watch sport as the eyes are opened and you can then know what value for money is. The Premier League is not value for money, not even close. Not at match day prices anyway.
It is simply pure greed to be charging people these prices. But the only ones we can blame are the fans that continue to pay it.if people took a stand then we would invoke change almost instantly.

It would be hypocritical of me if I didn't also post when I completely agree with you (as well as completely disagree).
On this matter - I completely agree. i have been saying for years that the mtachday ticketing is awful (as is in my view, stuff like mascots pricing).

I disagree.
Why would Chelsea or Man U charge everyone £25? If they can fill their grounds charging more they will, it's simple as. That's why we charge £45 cause somebody will pay for each seat.
£25 cat B and £30 cat A we should charge in my opinion. I think Hull & WBA charge most games around £25 and we are at the same level as them in size of club.
However the Premier League need to step in and cap away ticket prices for sure.

A family of four wanting to attend an NFL game would shell out hundreds of US dollars to do it. I'm just glad that America is now not the only country pricing everyone out of their sports.

Was watching a programme about the cost of NFL. Parking something (with the Cowboys) and all ST holders have to buy a 25 year ticket just to be allowed to then buy a seat. It was crazy money like £60-80,000 and then the cost of tickets on top which are around $200 for average seats. Most have them on finance , some have re-mortgaged homes etc.
Just call me JFK

That's the issue. From a business perspective, the demand exceeds supply even at £35/£45 a ticket, so why would they reduce prices? Any PL club that doesn't consistently sell out should seriously look at the prices they are charging, but other than that, the business model should be to set the price at the maximum you can get away with while still selling every seat.

Then you are condoning a hike in season ticket prices for us from £400 to £750.
Wow that's some serious money , let's hope with ground expansion some ticket prices will come down . Altough I think prices are about right at the moment due to the size of our ground .

Cowboys can charge what they want because they know there is always a demand for a ticket. Now, admittedly, they charge like double what most NFL teams do, but with the sport as popular over here and internationally as ever, more and more people are wanting tickets, so prices are going up.
Hell, even college athletics over here are starting to follow a pattern. An American College Football game between two top teams now costs over 100 dollars a ticket, usually with a 100 dollar or more donation required to the school the ticket is bought from.
The Greed is remarkable.

That is how you would look at it purely from a business perspective. But a football club shouldn't be run purely from a business perspective.
Given the level of TV money, it should be a requirement that ticket prices are £20 for adults, and £10 for children. Additionally, a certain level should be invested in local community projects and every club should have to pay the living wage to all their employees. It's incredible that only Chelsea do this out of all the PL clubs.
I think a lot of the ill feeling towards the PL cash machine would be reduced if the above measures were introduced.

Most are run purely from a business perspective though and there's really now way to go back from that.
As I posted before that's just going to stop clubs putting any investment in to new stadiums and stadium facilities though as a Spurs fan there's no way we'd go ahead with a new stadium if tickets were going to be fixed at £20 each (it would take roughly 60 years to make our money back before any interest payments!).
Agree about the living wage it really is incredible that all PL clubs don't. I'm pretty sure most clubs do quite a bit of community work though.

Anyone with a modicum of business expertese would agree.

What do you see as the benefit of us owning the stadium?
Sky have put themselves in an impossible position. They'll have to hike their subscriptions and eventually people will walk away. We need to use this windfall to expand now so when the whole house of cards collapses it leaves a decent legacy.
