WHITE ROCK IS FANS' FAVOURITE

8 August 2005

Pressure on Swansea's new showpiece sports stadium to restore its name to White Rock was expected to increase today. The results of a special fans' survey on the name were being published and were expected to back the former working title White Rock.

It was undertaken by city-based company Bluesky Media in the light of Stadco's unpopular decision to name it The New Stadium Swansea.

The company intends presenting its findings to Stadco chairman Gerald Clement.

The survey was prompted by an approach from Phil Sumbler, webmaster for unofficial Swans website Jackarmy.net, who said the voice of the people was being ignored.

Ian Davies, who contributes to the other Swans supporters' unofficial website SCFC, said: "The New Stadium Swansea. What an absolute joke."
