Am I right in saying that since the club took over the lease of the stadium, there hasn't been a gig there? I believe last years reason was pitch renovation?
Is there one planned for this summer that I've missed being advertised?

Very disappointing to again to huge swathes of empty seats given we were top of the league, just off a win away to Leeds and there hadn't been a home game for 3 weeks.
Trevor Birch is expected to become the new Swansea City chairman, replacing Huw Jenkins. Birch, former chief executive at Chelsea and Leeds, and an ex-player, is a chartered accountant & global head of Duff & Phelps' sports industry practice. He puts out financial fires 1/4
Understand his job will be a “restructuring” one at Swansea. Clearly another sizeable financial hole (believed to be about £30m) to fill in the summer. With his expertise across finance/football, Birch has been identified as the man to oversee that task and more 2/4
Birch has previously worked for, and advised, a number of football clubs with financial “problems”, including Portsmouth, Bolton & Aston Villa (he is an insolvency specialist among other things). Swansea, however, is expected to be a permanent and long-term role 3/4
In the past Birch has helped clubs find fresh investment with a view to changing ownership. But I don't believe that will be the case at Swansea. Jenkins' shoes needed to be filled, he'll step into them, take control of the day-to-day running & manage the financial, er, mess 4/4
