This Week in Swansea City History Thread

Then they were gifted the former Olympic stadium, paid for by taxpayers money, some four miles away.

I was there that night. When Neil Taylor got sent off in the first few minutes we thought it was all over, but what a fight the team put up to hold Forest to the 0-0 draw.
I was also at the Liberty for the return leg when Pratley scored that wonder goal to get us to Wembley. A great time to be a Swans fan.

it was a brilliant effort, i remember too thinking it was all over and we were cursing Neil Taylor but we dug in. A big ground and it was a talented squad Forest had.
