White Rock Web Site Unveiled

Swansea Council Press Release

SWANSEA sports fans from all over the world can monitor building progress at the city's landmark new stadium without going further than their nearest PC.

The £24m White Rock stadium will be home to Swansea's rugby and football teams when it opens at the beginning of the 2005 season.

And now it's got its own website which tracks building work every week and offers visitors a wealth of information about the site's past, present and future.
