LEAVE CLUBS RUN THE AFFAIRS

3 September 2005

For anyone who thinks that StadCo is a partnership between Swansea Council, the football and rugby club think again. It is effectively the council. How on earth can you have council officials running a private enterprise? Swansea City Football Club and the Ospreys are businesses.

They need to listen to their customers in order to maintain a successful company, but when have the council listened to their customers (the electorate)? They are amateurs at best.

But they are not playing with public services here.They are interfering in a private enterprise.

They must allow the football and rugby clubs to take care of their own businesses before they ruin the biggest sporting opportunity this city has ever had. Get out StadCo and leave our clubs alone.
