Yeah come on Swanny, give us back our ground. You had it long enough now.

Let him keep it.
When he runs away at the end of this season he’ll have to rent it us for peanuts due to the state he’s let it get into…or do some renovations that he’s failed to do for years😄😄😄1 user thanked author for this post.
I’ve not been paying attention, when is the new ground going to be finished?

Not far off where they were when Mr Swann walked away.
He did leave them with a new ground though.
Oh hang on a minute.

Swann was shown to be a mouthy pratt there, and a braggart here.
not much difference.
He never took their ground though.2 users thanked author for this post.

He tried to relocate Trinity, but the Blues Club (supporters’ association) owned (own) the pitch and wouldn’t go along with his plans, so he left the club ‘debt free’ but with an unsustainable wage bill that arguably ultimately led to the first relegation in their 100+ year history.
A similar arrangement exists at Chelsea, where Abramovich owns everything at Stamford Bridge except the pitch, which is owned by 13000+ fans via the Chelsea Pitch Owners’ plc.

UTI, Can you please name ONE THING, JUST ONE, that the fantastic Mr Swann has improved either on or off the pitch during his tenure, come on it really can’t be that hard considering the fantastic businessman he is and how we should be all so grateful to him?

Healthy club with engaged fans ,seems better than what we have.
We have no ground, club in debt ,transfer embargo and about to drop out of the league for the 1st time in our history.
I’d say trinity fans have more to smile about14 users thanked author for this post.

Still don’t agree with you though.

Still not answering questions though. Have a read of Pat’s post above and then show some courtesy and reply. A simple “nothing” will do.

Read my post again and maybe you’ll get the point I’m making. 🤦🏻♂️
Instead of telling others to read your posts again, why not read theirs and respond to their questions?
It really isn’t all about you, you know.

Swanny acquired the land next to the stadium and turned it into the training ground
Did that land not already belong to the club?
Yes it did Ferrite. So what he has actually done is put some goals on it and call it a training ground….fabulous.
2 users thanked author for this post.
No the land didn’t already belong to the club, oh what a missed opportunity all that land the owners at that time could have bought and leased it out for all the retail outlets that are there now,even the land the other side of the road where Tesco’s is was up for grabs that would have kept the club going with all that rental potential.
I agree with you on that but I think the training ground land you’re talking about is the plot between the offices & the M181? In which case, wasn’t that already part of the clubs’ estate and used for training when the pitch was suitable?
1 user thanked author for this post.
The training ground at Gunness was much bigger then the current one and within a month or so of Prawn assuming control of SUFC, Mr Wharton had the old training pitches ploughed up and drilled with oilseed rape. That’s the difference between an astute businessman who turns a valuable asset into profit making capability a.s.a.p and someone who pretends he’s astute but isn’t.

One thing that as improved is the time it takes to get out of the car park at the end of games. Used to sometimes take about an hour not anymore with so few attending games. Well done Mr ?.

Is that because all pedestrians are funnelled into a narrow footpath by barriers giving priority for a handful of cars coming from the premium parking spaces?
1 user thanked author for this post.
The need for a footpath barrier is dwindling.
