"Dear Supporter,
Following our recent survey, which we have sent to Season Ticket Holders, Jack Army Members, Match Ticket Purchasers and the general database the idea of stadium expansion received overwhelming support with 96% of respondents supporting the idea across these four key groups.
It is clear that there is significant support for an expansion, which we need to convert into paid commitments in the form of deposits. We will be widely advertising the waiting list across all supporters and people within our catchment area to better gauge this demand. You can help us by spreading the word about this potential opportunity.
If you have not yet seen our vision and completed the survey, you can do so HERE.
We would like to remind you that you may now reserve your place on our waiting list to give yourself priority should the expansion happen.
For full terms and conditions please click HERE and select the T & C's tab.
Thank you once again for your continued support"
just bloody expand the ground without expecting people to stump up a deposit |  |

They must be worried that many are not legit, don't have the cash or just pure time wasters.
If the survey and waiting list is broadcasted through all media sources, both electronic, radio and hard copies (newpapers/programmes), I would think that would capture every single person who is interested. |  |

A season ticket isn't even guaranteed after you have paid the £50. |  | | |

Can't see any problem in asking for a deposit, it will be interesting to see if the demand is there, last thing we need is a mothballed new stand  |  |

As long as the deposit is returnable if demand exceeds supply, and the actual payment isn't fully processed two years in advance of building it! |  |

Well it can't be guaranteed can it. If the stand holds 6,500 and the waiting list is more than that then only the first 6,500 get ST's.
I imagine those people left will have the option of a refund or being first in line if the second stage goes ahead. | | | |

Could be the first all ST stand! Which wouldn't appeal at all to the casual 'walk up fan'. I guess it would be another couple of seasons before we'd consider the next phase and only then if we're at 90 odd % full. | |

Will there be a chance to move ST seats?
Thought there was something about making opportunities for re-aligning family spaces and room for kids (next generation of fans).
And
Is there any news on safe standing as that would surely release space for additional capacity? | |

There will be no safe standing. I don't know why people keep on about it. |  |

No it wouldn't,the capacity would remain the same.

But you do get it back if the expansion doesn't go ahead. Eventually, and by which time it will probably be worth a fiver in real money  |  | | |

OK thanks
But safe standing would mean ST holders who wanted to be in the safe standing areas would release their stead to allow some reshuffling. | |

" I guess it would be another couple of seasons before we'd consider the next phase and only then if we're at 90 odd % full."
I really love your unbridled optimism.
It's going to take God knows how many more years to build the extension. Not including the period elapsed that it should have been built by or at the very least, planning permission applied for.
Stopping somewhere between 25k and 30k for a few years won't be such a bad thing.
Games that no " PL acquired newbie" wants to attend ('Ull/ Leicester/ QPHaha etc) can always be used by the club, to try and entice the new blood into the club (kids for a £; cheap schools tickets 1 adult+1 kid, competition prizes etc.)
Can see the club selling as many STs as it is allowed to release. Think they have to allow 10% for the away and 10% for the casual walk up.
Over about 27k and I'm not so sure that all STs' will be sold as people will guess they can get a ticket for most games (excluding the biggies, although they'll have plenty of JA points.)
We will end up with people that were going to watch our neanderthal cousins during their brief encounter with the top flight (only because they couldn't get tickets at ours.)
There are people who just want to watch top flight football and as yet, have no allegiance. |  |
| If you wake up breathing, thats a good start to your day and you'll make many thousands of people envious. |

Your point about the kids is very important - the club is concerned about growing the next generation of match day attending supporters. If everyone keeps their Sts there are fewer opportunities fro new young fans to attend and eventually the core support could dwindle. | |

They want me to part with 100 quid which is non refundable for the chance to purchase season tickets (2) which I don't know the price for. I defo ain't paying double what I am currently paying and would want a family ticket for 4 heavily discounted.
Can anybody reading this from the trust or club pm me if necessary with an idea if this is possible otherwise I'm afraid I will not be parting with the requested money | | | |

I agree just build the thing. My issues are as followed:-
1) I have two season tickets and ideally would like five season tickets all together in family end so I can keep the costs down for kids season tickets. I am not going pay out on extra 3 season tickets if i cant be seated together.
2) I have just renewed two season tickets for next season and I have not got a spare £150 for a future deposit on extra 3 season tickets.
3) Nobody can predict our finances in few years. |  |

Good points and my thoughts exactly.
I currently pay around 650 quid for 1 adult and one child on the east stand and would like another 2 season tickets . I ain't paying 1300 quid. Nadda No frigging way | | | |

So basically the club are still talking about it. |  |

I think I'm missing your point.
If (and it's a huge IF, or seems that way) the club ever throws the extension up, then by my calculations (10% away, 10% walk up on a 25k stadium) the club should be releasing about an extra 4k STs.
Without the kids, the core support will dwindle as SAGA louts like myself, become to infirm to attend/ die off and no-one has been able to take the new youngsters, who have become hooked on Man U/ Chelsea/ Liverpool or just FIFA soccer manager 2030 and don't leave the house, as they are taught by the internet at home. They won't wait for us to decide if they're allowed to attend.
I still think (even with the SKY and TV money) that if there is no new blood to take our places, then no customers = no "product" which in our case is the club we all love (sometimes detesting in equal measure, just like a marriage!!)
This extension really needs to be built 3 years ago. And as we can't get that, then 16/04/2015 AM will do

Got to run through a few more surveys first, let's not get hasty.
The company they hired to carry out the 5 year intelligence gathering exercise on whether there is a requirement for expansion is also carrying out similar surveys as detailed below:
Catholic Church - Is the Pope a member of the Catholic Church?
Forestry Commission - Do bears that reside in wooded environments defecate there also? |  |

I think you forgot to mention the survey on the feasibility of whether to have a survey on the intelligence gathering exercise survey. | |

eh no. Which part of 'if not started within 2 years you can have your money back ' do you not understand ? | | | |

Can anyone actually explain what the hold up is? I thought it was linked to the development of the Hafod relief road they're aiming to build by the new student accommodation on the Tawe, but if so, surely this puts the expansion off for a minimum of 18 months? They haven't even approved the damn road yet so by the time they build it, then build the expansion, could be a number of years. | |

This is from the "faq's"
We are looking to expand the East Stand by a further 6,000 seats approximately which is planned for the start of the 2016/17 season (subject to all conditions being met). Because of this once in a lifetime opportunity, we will be taking the opportunity to achieve a stadium migration to enhance and maximise the full match-day experience at the stadium. This means that a) we will be looking to make the South Stand a real family stand, b) we will be looking to enhance the whole singing section for those who wish to be loud and proud, c) we will be looking to minimise single seats in order to allow for more groups to enjoy watching the Swans on a match-by-match basis.
