i have never made reference to the liberty being council owned, in fact i know very little about swanseas finances or gates, my main source of info is the weekly or fortnightly JH thread
Swamp- You know that Photo you have of PG (tips) and data ching , i dont know which guy it is but he looks like he is giving malky a happy ending with where his hand is located just saying like yknow
http://www.cardiffcityfc.co.uk/page/Fixtures/0,,10335,00.html This link clearly shows the highest Championship attendance this season as 23655. http://www.footballgroundguide.com/cardiff_city/ This link clearly shows the seating capacity as 26828. So if you divide attendance by capacity = 88.17%. We all suffer with the same quotes, so it is not our fault the grounds are not full for safety reasons. Just wish some of your guys would accept this fact.
Aberdude - you don't go to the home games even when it's not snowing so what are you on? Second thoughts you don't have to answer that on the grounds it may incriminate you.
But in fairness, Breezy, you were a plastic back in the old days. Can't help being thousands of miles away, can you?
With regards to this attendance debate I put a link to attendance percentages a while a go. Here it is again. http://itv.stats.football365.com/dom/ENG/PR/attend.html In terms of what our (swans) average percentage is, compare that to Cardiff's http://itv.stats.football365.com/dom/ENG/D1/attend.html - Not having a go at Cardiff's attendance but if some fans are going to make comments about our attendance it'd be nice for them to get it right and realise we fill what we have (taking into account away allocation etc). Also Norwich's attendance is bloody impressive isn't it?!?
Aber saying you get more is a bit stupid because you've got a bigger stadium than us. It seems a bit obvious, but the people who say we don't fill our stadium should pay attention to my links and see how wrong they are ... not that it's obvious or anything.
Aber- Your boy has blue blood then? didnt know we had Royalty on this message board!! is your real name Charles ?? Plastic fantastic, every club has them but how long before they qualify for their "wings" 1 year? 2 years? and what do you call them after they have progressed from being a plastic fan?? if of course they dont get swung by watching the next best thing
Our attendance has been growing year on year according to charts I've seen. It makes me proud to see that we're growing as a club in terms of fanbase etc. I don't begrudge the people who have only recently started following the Swans as everyone has to start somewhere. If we go down maybe some of them will stick around and we'll still have more fans than before. Not that the attendance of a club means much in terms of what the better team is. Good luck for your cup final!
I've searched the 'interweb' and finally found the very proof you require. It looks like it's mainly made of metal though and I haven't recognised any at the Liberty.... http://www.thisnext.com/item/553B7D1D/Silver-Swan-Vintage-Oscillatin
