Why doesn't Swansea council approve plans to increase capacity from 20,700?

Infrastructure issues?
Thought they would've expanded by now, easily get 30k for the big games
I thought it was built
With expansion in mind -
Like CCS
Cos they know it’s only a matter of time before they come back down and they’ll only need 13/14k
We have a few seats that can be sent down west.Quote:

Probably because Swansea expect the council to foot the bill for the building work
No, it’s being realistic.Quote:

Big job and they don't own the stadium. It's either money for the team or money for the stadium.
Problem is your always one bad year away from going down unless you are one of the top 6 or 7
It will never happen as they always seem to be on the brink of going down, very close last season and they have a far worse team this year. Going to be a tough old season for them I reckon. Could easily see them passing through our league straight back to there natural level
What else you gonna do on a Sunday afternoon?Quote:

On a serious note the club and Swansea Council are close to agreeing a 40 year lease deal. The club will take over all finacial obligations and become the rugger team's landlords. Perhaps they will kick them into touch as they dont need a stadium bigger than 5k.
Once the deal is done the football club will be able to proceed further with their plans to increase capacity by around 5/6 thousand.
Ha Ha HaQuote:
