Talking to a taff yesterday and he said swans been in talks with lickle lee and meeting up with him today,I said don’t bother he’s on a lucky streak and will soon fade That’s because one of the 7 dwarfs at the Swansea hippodrome has fallen ill and they’re looking for a replacement. |

Most of that doom and gloom though has been made by a number of fans though disagree I think it comes from the top! We will probably have to agree to disagree then; the lack of information from the owners/BoD have caused certain posters to fabricate evidence or spout 3rd/4th hand rumours much to the detriment of harmony on here. Luckily the general fanbase who don't use social media are not so fickle. Merry Christmas |

Ashton Vale was panned 7 years ago. It took them 7 years to go from the Ashton Vale plan to the rebuild of Ashton Gate. It took time. The Al-Qadi's have been here 18 months compared to Lansdowns decade. The people who are expecting the Al-Qadi's to pull off in 18 months what its took Lansdown 10 years to do, are also living in some sort of make believe world. The AG redevelopment was announced in late 13 as soon as the AV project died. It was given planning sign off in March 14 enabling build to start at the end of that season. So it took around 6 months to go from no plans to planning sign off and get the diggers in. In fact they waited another 2 months to start to finish off the season. It 2 years to complete. The ALQs came in to a club with PP signed off on a brand new development which was given in 2014. According to Wael, the finances not being a problem. The whole club and project were on display for all the tentative new owners. After 18 months, we pull out. Another 6 months have past of complete silence, no plans and no future vision let alone any form of planning permission. All of the above gives you an idea of timescales. So if we are looking at a Mem redevelopment nothing is going to be built until at least 2020. That’s if we start in June. That is the realistic time frame and why we need to crack on now. In some ways how long the ALQs is kind of irrelevant. If you are looking at what the club actually needs right now, then a stadium is top of the list and number 1 priority. I’m sick of Wael banging on about how things take time. If you don’t have the finances then of course it will, you need to find investors or find a way to raise the cash. If so tell us. Conversely if the money is there, tell us what is taking the time as I’m sure there are some people who can help and advise in getting things done and sorted. The training ground is now 4 pitches and a clubhouse and offices and should take around 6 months to do. So all of this taking time is a complete nonsense as well. I don’t think anyone is unrealistic about build timescales but no one is stupid enough to believe it takes 6 months to get some plans drawn and ideas in place. You could do that inside a couple of weeks. Good post. Cutting through all the crap. Things take time for the ALQs for the simple and obvious reason. THEY DONT HAVE THE MONEY! Zero Dinero! |

I just ignore them, pretend they don't exist and never compare. But I do sometimes worry about the age profile of our supporters as so many of us seem to be the wrong side of 60 and the yougsters seem to gravitate to the other side.

Yep we’ve got a crowd full of Victor Meldrews, there’s no hope for us we’ve got one foot in the grave. Still mustn’t grumble. Merry Christmas |

With absolute respect it would certainly explain why, for the most part, we are so happy to accept false dawn after false dawn. |

Interestingly a city supporting colleague of mine,obviously before the Man U game was saying the same about the lack of younger fans at Ashton stating that in his mind they prefer playing on their iPads or PlayStations than attending matches. |
