Is the apparent number of season tickets that have been applied for so far this season!
Now, im not sure how accurate these figures are but if this is the case then where would your priorities lie in terms of where the money is being spent?
We obviously need a few more players, our training facilities are not up to standard (to put it lightly) and our support has outgrown our stadium capacity. As a club we are not the type to just throw all our money at everything, so where would you like to see the majority go?

Personally i think we should concentrate on players first and foremost, we have a lot of positions that need strengthening. Then the training facilities need upgrading, i bet its hard enough attracting relatively big names as it is. Then depending on our survival, expand the stadium ready for next season. Although this will result in quite a large chunk of revenue we could be potentially earning.
 
The training facilities should already be half built to be honest. Not quite sure why it's taking the club so long to get it sorted. We've needed them for years, and knew that we would had the funds available to build one since May last year.
 
Agree with Lone there, and would add that it's embarrassing the way we've dragged our feet so long on these training facilities, as for that 35,000 figure, well if that is correct, then the club are losing out on about 17000, season tickets, which is probably not far off what they sold last season, think it was 18,000. Losing 17000, season tickets equals £7.65 Million annually that's lost, never to be retrieved, so with last season and this one that could be an estimated £15 Million, already thrown away, something that no business director likes to see, and I'm sure our board will be plugging this hole shortly!..........<ok>
 
Plans are afoot to add an extra tier to the East Stand in time for the start of the 13/14 season. Obviously they'll go on the back burner if we're struggling to survive.

Nice Jethro Tull signature by the way DPJ. Perhaps Dai could adopt "Thick as a Brick" for his.
 
<laugh> Yes love some Tull! Good album "Thick as a brick", I'm sure Dai will be along soon to ratify that one!..................... <cheers>
 
In order of priority

Players - without whom we can't survive
Manager - we have him in place
Training facilities - desperately needed
Academy - to keep up with the joneses, and secure our future
Stadium expansion - needed to expand the club fanbase

All these can be done simultaneously as we have the funds to do them all

As I've said before, just get Anneka Rice on the job.
 
Close the car parks, instal big screens, 17 000 seats, stream it to the Millennium Stadium so people in Cardiff can watch some decent football too. I'm guessing 2 tickets for the West Ham game when I am over at the end of August might be difficult to come by?
Michael Laudrup is our manager? I still can't believe it. Michael F*****g Laudrup is manager of Swansea City. Unbelievable.
 
Training facility / Academy , put a bit of money away for possible future expansion , a few first team players & last but not least bank some money . P.S. Got my first ever Swansea top today . Very , very happy . The new away one , best fathers day gift ever !! To have my first top & have it with Swansea's centenary crest on it is an honor . Feeling fabulous , wearing it golfing tomorrow!!

lone your an idiot is there any point in saying childish things , what are you jealous of..<doh>,grow up ffs.......and for the record we have not reached last seasons tally yet for season ticket sales, you can still purchase one if you are quick enough....

Can you put an extension on a council house?

Why you thinking of doing something with yours ?

I'm in the process of selling mine and moving, mortgage free, 100% equity so no problem here.

Serious question, would you (Swansea) spend money on something you don't own? Where does the equity sit. I suppose the council might take it as a down payment for the rent that hasn't been paid for the last however many years.
