 The stadium will be home to the Swans and the Ospreys |
Work on a new stadium for Swansea has progressed so fast that the council has been caught without any contractors to carry out work on its interior. The fitting out of the new White Rock stadium was not due to begin until the New Year.
But because work on the outer shell of the stadium has been completed ahead of schedule, the council now has to look for more contractors six months before they thought they would.
White Rock is to become home to both Swansea City FC and the Neath-Swansea Ospreys rugby team.
The stadium replaces the Morfa stadium which has been knocked down to accommodate it.
Concerts
The steel frame is already in place and concrete blocks which will form the stands are due to be dropped into place.
Games will be played at the stadium from the start of the 2005-6 season.
It will also host concerts with audiences of up to 30,000.
A council spokesman said: "It is really exciting to watch White Rock take shape, especially now that it looks like a proper stadium."
