Even more positive news. We're being bombarded with it this season.
All we need now is the confirmation of the purchase of the stadium quickly followed by the announcement of the extension to 35,000 ready for the PL as by that time, probably just post Christmas, we'll be well on the way to promotion.
Sounds rather like that Heineken advert  |

We were all pretty careful with our predictions before the start of the season. Some were saying a top ten finish would be good progress. Others like me said that we'd make the top eight, albeit with hope rather than confidence.
Now I think that we'd be disappointed if we didn't make the play offs, the start has been so good. |

That makes me think of him banning those news outlets for not telling the truth.
It made me wonder how he can work out they're not telling the truth when he doesn't know what the truth is. |

Everyone, players, management etc look as if they're really happy together and solid as a squad. That's worth so much when it comes to fighting for points. |

Everyone has to accept that there'll always be some who get through even we manage to stop all the boats. They may just go back to jumping into the back of lorries.
The fact remains that the numbers of illegal migrants are down substantially this year compared to 2025. 31,000 up to the 16th September last year and down to 17,450 up to 16th September this year.
I wouldn't take 1/2/3000 as much of a positive, just a general fluctuation you might expect but I do take 13,550 as a real positive.
It will be very interesting to see this year's full numbers to compare again with 2025 then the numbers up to 16th Sept 2027.
What if the 16th Sept 2027 numbers are down to 10,000 or below compared with this year's. Will you all be happy that the Government are really getting to grips with the problem then ? |

Just a thought about capacity.
Firstly I think it's fair to say that the 54,000 expansion video is just not realistic. That's St James Park size. And i'm not talking Exeter City there. I'd imagine 35,000 would be the max.
It's all ifs and buts I know. But if they decided to expand by putting 10 extra rows for example around the North, East and South that would add about 7000 (each single row is about 700 at a guess). That would give a capacity of 28,000. But if they decided that 35,000 was needed the extra 10 rows would cost a fraction of the first ten.
So the message is, if they decide to do it they may as well expand by a substantial number. |

Correct again cat. Well done Labour for standing up against the murderous Israeli government.
The sanctions may be a small thing in the overall scheme of things. But when coupled with the same message from many other countries it means so much more. |

What an incredibly one eyed view. To put the fault down to the Burnley players and not realise that it was our press that got us the goals is odd to say the least. Of course the keeper should have wellied it but if Adam hadn't been all over him like a rash we wouldn't have scored.
And the second one. The two Burnley players thought they'd have no problem with just Yeo to deal with. But it was Just pressing that made the interception.
Being fair they certainly don't look like a bottom of the table team. |

Well said cat.
Which of these sayings is best to follow as regards where we'd like Swansea generally, not just the Football Club, to be - 'Graveyard of Ambition' or 'Ambition is Critical'.
I know which I want. |

I'd imagine if the owners were to decide to expand they wouldn't just be looking at just adding 10,000 seats or whatever number. It's been said so many times that our off field efforts at generating income has been amateurish in the past.
According to what Keith has said they've started a real push to improve that. Commercial target figures for the entirety of last season reached before Christmas is one stat I remember. The value of the new stadium sponsorship deal will be very interesting to see as well.
None of us know what extra income they'd be able to generate so we're in for an interesting season. Not just on the pitch.
Another thought is that, if we were to get back to the PL retaining bigger crowds after relegation back to the Champ builds extra resilience into the Club. |

100% correct.
A couple of years ago my son bought ST's for himself and our grandson. Obviously he was able to get two together because we're in the Champ and not selling out. Some of his other friends (part of the same team) have bought them also along with their Dads. As I say, they were able to get seats together which is what you'd need taking your 6/7/8 year old son with you.
If we were in the PL this would have been impossible. My son and all the others would have missed out. And I can't imagine how many thousands of others missed out when we were there because of the stadium capacity.
The first season back in the champ the crowd dropped 2000. And the crowd dropped each season after that. In 2025 the average was 15,500.
If the stadium had been 30,000 for example the average might have been 27,000 perhaps. So we would have retained far more.
Our current attendances are embarrassing to be honest. I know Burnley's away support was pathetic yesterday but 16,400 is awful. For how we've started the season we should be having 20,000 plus crowds. The manager and the team deserve that. |

Well he's doing his utmost to fix the postal vote.
He put a nodding dog Trump supporter in charge and the guy is arranging it that postal voters have to prove that they are eligible voters (how I don't know). And even though the bloke's been told it's illegal he's pressing ahead anyway.
There'll be huge problems caused if this does plan does happen and would it be any wonder if democrat states will be affected most. |

I just watched another bit of his speech (not the $5000 dollar bit). He said i've delivered on everything i've promised.
I didn't have to think for more than a second to remember him saying no more foreign wars.
And the numbskulls behind him roared their support. Are they really so utterly thick ? |

We all know that the stadium was too small when in the PL. And I would have thought the max we'd need would be 30,000. I've never heard mention of that sort of demand back then Keith. |

Fair point about the boxes jj. I rarely see any of them empty. A real money spinner.
Results are what counts re attendances as with any club. After a great close season squad wise and a great start the average at the moment is 18,000. If we maintain a top eight place it'll creep up. But there's not much further it can go. For certain games we'll be turning people away, Cardiff and West Ham being the obvious ones. As I say, if we do maintain a top eight place all the second half of the season will see good crowds with many sell outs toward the end of the season.
So it depends on the owners and what their plans are. From what's been said previously this is another building season (on the pitch  ). If we do have a good season, play offs hopefully but miss out on promotion, then it may be that they'll invest in the squad again for the 27/28 season to build for a real go at promotion. And they may decide they need to prepare the ground for promotion.
Loads of if's and but's and maybe's there but why not be positive. It's betterthan the alternative. |
