The Vetch Field Stadium - Swansea City FC

The Vetch Field was a football stadium in Swansea, Wales. It was used for football matches and was the home ground of Swansea City until the club moved to the newly built Liberty Stadium in 2005. Opened in 1912, the ground held around 12, 000 at the time of its closure, but upwards of 30, 000 at its peak.
As well as being home to the Swans, the Vetch also hosted games for the Wales national football team, with 18 internationals played at the Vetch between 1921 and 1988. Other sports also found a home at the Vetch, with 8 rugby league matches played there between 1990 and 1999. In 1960, local boy Brian Curvis beat the Australian boxer George Barnes at the Vetch to win the Commonwealth (British Empire) Welterweight title.
The stadium also operated as a music venue, hosting The Who in 1976 and Stevie Wonder in 1984.
The Vetch's final Football League fixture was a 1–0 win for Swansea over Shrewsbury Town on 30 April 2005. The last game of football to be held at the Vetch was the 2005 FAW Premier Cup final, which saw Swansea beat Wrexham 2–1.
The Vetch continues to be the subject of much nostalgia amongst some Swansea fans, who often feel that it had a more vibrant and authentic atmosphere than the Liberty Stadium

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic Vetch Field Stadium, a historic landmark in Swansea, Wales. Steeped in rich football heritage, this stadium served as the beloved home ground for Swansea City FC until 2005 when they moved to the modern Liberty Stadium. Since its opening in 1912, The Vetch Field witnessed countless thrilling matches and boasted an impressive capacity of over 30,000 spectators at its peak. Not only was it cherished by local fans but also played host to 18 international games for the Wales national football team between 1921 and 1988. The Vetch Field wasn't limited to just football; it embraced other sports too. Rugby league matches were held here from 1990 to 1999, while boxing history was made when Brian Curvis triumphed over Australian boxer George Barnes in a memorable fight that crowned him Commonwealth Welterweight champion. Beyond sports events, The Vetch Field transformed into a vibrant music venue on occasion. Legendary acts like The Who (1976) and Stevie Wonder (1984) graced its hallowed grounds with unforgettable performances. Although now closed and replaced by the Liberty Stadium, The Vetch remains etched deep within the hearts of devoted Swansea fans who reminisce about its authentic atmosphere and unparalleled charm. This print captures not only a piece of sporting history but also serves as a nostalgic tribute to an iconic stadium that will forever hold a special place in Swansea's collective memory.
