Description
The 'Vetch', Swansea. January 31st, 2011.
Named due to the vetch plant that grew on its surface at the time. The site was owned by Swansea Gaslight Company, when in 1912 a professional football team was formed in the town (Swansea Town FC changed to Swansea City FC when in 1969 the old town was granted city status).
Having seen many changes during its 93 years, the 'Vetch' took its final bow beating Wrexham 2-1 in the 2005 FAW Premier Cup Final.
The 'Swans' moved on to a new ground at the 'Liberty' stadium, while the Vetch was boarded up and finally passed to the hands of a demolition firm on 31st January 2011.
