Maybe they can use the empty seats to store refuse while waiting for the bin collections that have been cut by the local authority so they can subsidise the 12 Jack fans who watch
I'd dodge the point too In all seriousness, if our council was losing/had lost money to my club, during austerity, costing jobs and services I'd be pissed off ESPECIALLY when individuals are lining their pockets with dividends as a result
A Swansea council spokesperson said: "The European Commission has asked us a number of questions in relation to the Liberty Stadium and currently we are in dialogue with them, as are a large number of sports clubs from across Europe." If it is proved that the use of the Liberty Stadium breaks European law, then both clubs could face having to pay back money, plus interest. A spokesperson for Premier League Swansea City said: "The club is aware that the European Commission is currently in discussions with Swansea City Council in relation to the Liberty Stadium."We have asked to be kept informed of any future development." The Ospreys have been contacted for a response. The European Commission investigation is looking into alleged illegal state aid involving several clubs including Spanish giants Barcelona and Real Madrid. Legal advice Meanwhile, Carmarthenshire council said it had not been contacted by the commission over Parc y Scarlets, where Scarlets rugby region have played since 2008. Earlier this month, the authority denied claims by a funding expert that it had broken regulations in the way it gave more than £20m to Scarlets. The council said it remained confident about independent legal advice taken in 2007 that state aid rules did not apply in this case. Parc y Scarlets and related facilities cost £25.4m to build, and £18.3m was provided in differing forms by Carmarthenshire council. The land is owned by the authority but the stadium and surrounding land has been leased to the club for 150 years. The European Commission said it had not been notified of these payments.
Meh, we have the cash in the bank account to pay off any amount this would come plus interest. Half a million loss upto 2011? Chicken feed to a club run like ours, but we know your club would be reaching into that big overdraft!
Oh FFS - remember when these boards used to discuss football, remember that? Have stopped posting on the Swans board because of the crass 'my dad is bigger than your dad' bollox - please don't go the same way! Yep - I get it, Swansea hate Cardiff, and Cardiff hate Swansea but seriously get a ****ing life people! It's just football! There are more important things in life than hating people because of geographics! Will you all please just grow up and put your cocks back into your pants!
Woah steady on CH, no hate here! Just posting a story that appeared on the bbc most read list (meaning the whole country is interested) Chill man, didnt mean anything nasty by it
Carton, I don't know so just asking, but you have had quite a few posts on your board about us that go down a similar route , are you as vocal against them as well.
