White Rock or Bust

Extract from Inside Swansea Council

A letter in last night's Evening Post seeks to ressurrect the name of White Rock for the new stadium. It is not going to happen. The powers that be seem to have settled on "The City of Swansea Stadium" prefaced by the name of whoever pays up enough cash.

The letter writer adds that "It does not take much imagination to work out that you can actually raise more money by doing sponsorship deals on different parts of the stadium."

He should rest easy, even Swansea Council have thought of that one and when the name is decided it will be as part of a whole package including the sponsorship and naming of the stands.
