Man City?
It is as much about a clubs owners and how they run a club as much as getting a good rental agreement.
Nick just out of interest the new stadium is likely to start with a capacity of around 18,000 and expand as and when the club becomes more successful!
Err ........................ and the evidence ?
Swansea own 25% of the management company Ospreys 25% and the council 50% IIRC
No its on a lifetime lease to the management company. Also interestingly it sold some of the land around the stadium and gave an equal share of the proceeds of sale to the football club as in its view that was not breaching regulations that our council deemed they would be when creaming £60 million for the sale of the land to Tescos.

@ Samo....I'll just say this to you mate................................Gillingham
So if man city were a league one club with the same rent deal that they are now they would be ok?
Lol just lol.
If they are on a peppercorn rent then yes.
The fact is we don't know what the rent is now, we also don't know what incomes we have access to.
We do know that TF has asked for a fifth year.
We have seen no information on financing a new stadium, who owns it, how much rent will we pay and what incomes will go to the club.
Yet people believe a new stadium is the way forward. How do they know ?
Seriously can you show me where it says they own 50% as every article I see is a third.

Yeah ok - they say they love it but dont fucking go to it.
@ Grendel..... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...-000.html...................................@ Samo....Exactly mate, what would happen with new owners do you think?

Many don't go to the Arena because the football is very poor, the team is the worst we have had in many decades, and they hate SISU.
I for one think the RICOH is a great stadium, but I am sorely tempted not to go because of all the shit that we have had to put up with. The team is poor and the tactics even worse, and I have started to loose the faith. And that has nowt to do with the stadium.
Yeah but they are just crap excuses.
But why doesn't the Swansea owner want to own their own ground? I keep hearing on here that we will never do any good without ownership.
Yeah. Crap manager. Crap players. Crap football.
At the moment they pay a peppercorn rent and receive the revenues, a great deal. If we could get similar from Wasps we should jump at the chance but I can't see them offering that. We will be paying a much higher rent and receiving less in revenues.
I hear Real Madrid are the opposite. Shall be go and support them?

Is it further than Northampton?
oh what rubbish - we were down to below 10,000 before the wasps deal was even mentioned.
Didn't someone show last week that they paid over 1m a year then tried to make out that the revenue receipts were profit?
Samo....What I 'm saying is I think that 18-20k fans would be at least the norm with good owners in charge that think of the team rather than their "Investors" and "Back pocketing every penny that is generated by the team. These crowds were the norm before SISU arrived, and IMHO will be the norm when they have F**ked off mate

They have a council which wants to work with the club rather than against them like ours. I was actually browsing the Swansea forums the other week when the Swansea - Ospreys ground share was bought up and there fans are not happy they will be paying to develop a stadium which they don't own, also I think someone said the other day Swansea make 6 million a year out of there stadium where as we make virtually nothing.
How could anybody forget, did the wife get you an atlas for Christmas as you go on about it enough.Said they made over 5m when they didn't. And yes they pay in over 1m a year.
CCC were happy working with our club until the endless fruitless litigation started. Remember the road map?
