Swansea should be renamed Cardiff - says billionaire Sir Terry Matthews

“The response to this topic by jacothenorth on 19th March refers to a blog by Dylan Jones-Evans so I thought i'd read it. I couldn't believe one of the comments he made.

Here we are talking about the incredible imbalance of investment by the WAG in Cardiff compared with the rest of Wales and this guy was saying that Cardiff had missed out on regeneration money (presumably the EU funding) which had gone to weaker economic ares in the West and the valleys.

MISSED OUT !!! So the billions of OUR money already in vested in the place isn't enough. He thinks Cardiff should have had even MORE.

Unbelieveable.”

“Pyrene seems unwilling to accept that the success of Cardiff has been bought by the WAG and if a similar amount had been spent on Swansea instead then Swansea would now be ahead of Cardiff in so many ways.

I've read so many threads in so many forums where people say generally the same thing. They complain about the fact that an obscene amount is spent in Cardiff at the expense of the rest of Wales (not just Swansea). We all complain about it but, instead of complaining why not do something.

Labour is in power because they have got 30 AM's out of 60 in the Senedd. There are seven Labour AM's in and around the Swansea area. The answer is simple. VOTE THEM OUT.

If we don't vote them out then we can't complain because we know what they'll do. They'll vote with the rest of their party and the 'party' will continue for Cardiff.”

“Any one who accepts a knighthood is a bit dim anyhow as for swansea, we stand on our twon feet, We have the nations best rugby and football teams, the best beaches, the best night life and we don;t need some gwent vally boy who has come into a few quid telling us we should market ourselves,”

Swansea it seems (like Cardiff) is doing something right and is rightly being recognised by having such events as this awarded it.”

Shame on you SIR!”

“Let's concentrate on getting the UK ' City of culture status' because if you look around we have everything we need in place... I for one don't want it to be known as Swansea-Cardiff as much as i don't want to be known as Wales-England”
