Liberty Stadium - Swansea City
 A
Fans Eye View of the Stadium
By Lisa Higgins

When I first saw the New Stadium (Yes how Original) It was a momentous day this development was a long time in the making. When I went to pick my seat for the season I was amazed by the Stadium well laid out with excellent views for all fans. Then came Match day Swansea City Vs Tranmere Rovers with nervous trepidation I walked up the stairs for the first time on game day. Yes at first the stewarding seemed a little lax but it was the first competitive game since then its improved drastically with everybody getting used to the new plush surroundings. The Leg room is very generous you don’t feel like your playing a mass game of Sardines. There is good provision of Disabled Supporters which is great with supporters given the space around the centre between the bottom tier and the top tier of the stands. Also on the touchlines disabled supporters have spaces as well. Also there are lifts and disabled toilets too. The food is ok not great the normal football ground fare Hamburgers, cheese Burgers and Chips. There are very expensive so if you can to save on the £’s take your own food or eat before hand.

The stadium is generally well laid out with good views on the curved corners. The Toilets are very good and are cleaned regularly by the looks of it. The toilets are much better than the Vetch field (Toilet Seats not falling off for one.) However the parking is a nightmare the shopping centre next door has clamped down on match day parking giving out fines for those fans going to the game. As I go to the Games with two disabled persons we bought a car parking space for £75 for the season. It may seem a lot but what with bus service charges it was the cheapest option for us. The club shop is ample and is taken up by two sections one section to the Ospreys (Rugby Team) and one section to the swans. If you want to go to the shop on match days go early or wait back for a while after the game as it gets really busy just before and after matches . The ticket office is ok there have been problems with the Ticketing system in the past but it seems to be resolved. Book online to save yourselves a queue (Online tickets can be booked via the clubs official website.) It can get a bit busy around the ticket office if the game isn’t sold out.

 

A Bit About Swansea:

Swansea is a medium sized city that is going under a period of expansion in which the “Liberty Stadium” is part of. Swansea is a city by the sea with many fine beaches; the majority of the beaches are based in the Gower. The main beaches are Caswell, Langland Oxwich bays. The Gower is also an AONB (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) the first in the UK. There are many places within the Gower you can go walking or go for a picnic. Take in the views along Rhossili Bay and Worms Head mind the breeze. If that’s not your cup of tea there are a few museums that you can visit namely The National Maritime Museum of Wales which has just opened this year (Situated on Oystermouth road). Also for all art lovers the Glynn Vivian Art Gallery which is only 5 minute walk from the Train Station. There are also many parks in the city the biggest Singleton Park has a Botanical Garden and also hosts major Music events like BBC Prom in the Park and Party in the Park. Also for shopping the city centre has the average high street fare. If you are around the Morfa development park then there is a Morrison’s supermarket, Boots, Next, B & Q and Soccer Sports.
