Can't fault the owners ambitions, this looks brilliant

This looks good. Hopefully this comes off coupled with the new train station close to the ground.

This looks amazing hopefully it goes through

It does look good but can't see how it would be ready for the start of next season!

We have a track record. If the Mel Nurse Bar could be built in a close season then this should be easy...

Don't worry. I have a friend called Mickey who will do the job fast. They can stay on site as well. Quick workers

Sounds really good and it’s nice to see a bit of ambition.

The article mentions the concourses being small etc, and a poor stadium experienced and it’s a fair point. When I watch Wales at the CCS the difference between the concourses is striking and TBH it’s a much better experience. There’s a lot more room and more options for food and drink if you want it - I don’t partake as I’m not keen on imparting my hard earned up there

Terrace could be built along the back of the west stand so supporters can go outside in the sun for a drink and a smoke.

I’m loving the ambition with this project, but the club needs to be mindful of the costs to the fans comparatively speaking in relation to Harvester etc.

Too high, and the punters will go elsewhere for their food and drink, which could torpedo the vision of the additional revenue that they could accumulate there and then.

Out of interest, how competitively priced is the food and drink within the stadium when compared to the surrounding area?

The prices in the Swansea Jack are pretty reasonable, They had a deal on beer for the Sheff Utd game.

I get the feeling they know what they're doing with pricing, quality on offer and the marketing side of things.

In terms of the Harvester, I won't set foot in there, it's fairly evident they can't stand the football crowd. They'll finally get their wish from next season if this fanzone is created.
