There was meant to be a new train service running from Carmarthen through to Paddington which would have reduced the travel time. Unfortunately it has been delayed by 3 years due to a lack of carriages.
If they had electrified the line, it might cut travel time to under 2 hours. |

They could try and sort out the parking. It's unbelievably bad.
I end up parking almost in Morriston and walking for ages. Fine in the summer, but on a wet winters evening it's easy to decide not to bother |

Was it a lack of motivation? I remember us being out played by a better team.
We didn't strengthen in midfield in January that season. The lad from Villa just strolled around most of the game. It was a missed opportunity to invest and get us back in the Prem.
Instead we took the cheap option. |

The WAG has the powers to do something about the lack of growth, but as usual has little creativity or appetite to do anything different.
10% of Income Tax rates is controlled by the WAG.
Why not declare Port Talbot and the surrounding area an "Area for Economic Growth" or some such name. Then offer any company setting up Head Quarters with at least 10% of UK staff based in the area, a 7.5% reduction in Income Tax for employees paying income tax in Wales. |

The decline in Industry in the area has gone on for over 40 years with no replacement coming in to replace it.
More recently Swansea Council and more specifically the planning department as to take the blame for some of it.
How many millions have been wasted on driving Alco-tourism. Plans fir cafe culture boulevard and such nonsense thar resulted in Wind street being the main tourist attraction.
Short term, weekend accommodation is the only hotels in the area. Where are the holiday parks for families around the Gower? Tenby has plenty and is then full of tourists all summer.
Swansea planning block any attempts to provide family facilities in Swansea. |

Yeah great, if we're thinking of invading somewhere. Not sure what relevance it has to football.
The money being spent on backroom staff with little really relevance is very concerning. |

I don't know what the fuss is about.
He is an average Championship player. He would look good at League One level. He is certainly not Premier league level. That is why Brentford have loaned out a 22 year old. If they could have sold him, they would have. That's why he is still available in the last week of a transfer window.
Sadly, that is the position we are in at the moment. That this is the pool of players we are swimming in. Average to below average Championship players |

Their problem is that most of the UK Press is right wing Tory owned. They'll be reminding the nation of every issue for the next 5 years.
If even a single pensioner dies due to the cold weather, it'll be splashed across the papers for months.
A Tory government gets away with a lot more than a Labour one. |

They barely won anymore votes than they did under Corbyn. They only won because Reform split the Tory vote, which after 14 years of poor Tory rule is quite some under achievement, yet Starmer and Co act as though they sailed in on a wave of Socialist fervor.
Why did they feel the need to close a supposed £20bn fiscal gap in 12 months? They have 5 years, they could have chipped away at it. Instead, they have lost support from all corners within 4 months.
There was talk of the end of the Tories before the election. The way things are going it will be the end of Labour after this time |

Absolutely not!! Resigning aging ex-players is not the route a successful club wants to go down.
The real "Swansea way" is to get all giddy over the idea of signing a 30 something year old that used to play for us. Ideally one from the area. See Andre Ayew, Will Bony, Joe Allen, Lee Trundle etc etc |

I thought Bradley just needed a bit more time.
He didn't get 2 full seasons or go on a 26 game run without a win |

It does seem pointless without the major contributors, but if you don't try then you won't get anywhere.
Some say it's all a hoax, maybe it is, but trying to get more crap out of the air and clean up rubbish from the seas has to be a good thing |

A half season ticket would be a decent idea at this point. I know a few who were regulars but didn't want to come back under Levein as they'd lost hope.
A change of ownership and a little bit of money in January and there could be a fair few coming back |

If Trump loses what does he do??
He faces a very real threat of spending the rest of his days behind bars. It went badly enough last time. This time he has nothing to lose and they've spent months paving the way to claim a rigged vote |

A player who mostly warms the bench in League 2. Managed 6 in 33 in the conference, mostly from the bench.
That really is the next level. Probably next 2 levels, down |

If this is to make the club look financially secure to potential investors, then they must be looking very short term. Losing 2 of your most valuable assets for free and then needing to make expensive investments to replace them, won't give the indication of a well run club. |
