Nicknamed \"The Swans\", the club played from its formation in 1912 (as Swansea Town) until 2005 at the Vetch Field in Swansea city centre. In the summer of 2005, Swansea City moved to a new 20,280 all seater ground, the Liberty Stadium, with often impressive attendances. It has to be said however, failing to win promotion at the end of the 2005/06 season, and a degree of underperformance in the current season (2006/07) has seen attendences drop somewhat.
The stadium's 'official' name is not popular amongst supporters, many of whom refer to it either as the Morfa Stadium or as the White Rock Stadium: the former was the name of the athletics stadium which stood on the site from the 1970s until construction began on the current structure, whilst the latter was the working title used by the developers.
Financial difficulties through much of the last two decades appear to be a thing of the past, in part due to the club's recent surge in support.
