Been to the Liberty once, for the Ospreys Munster game last season. Its a modern stadium, but there is a total lack of atmosphere. They pipe in music to try and get the Ospreys' fans to sing :roll:

The lack of a decent pub near the ground is also an issue - there is a Harvester but that does not count....

pre-game in Spoons or closer to the stadium? from memory it's a solid walk or the 8 (?) bus which runs at fairly weird times. or it certainly did for Ospreys-Leinster in the winter.

Several decent pubs in 10-15 mins walking distance from ravers - Errigle, Big House, Malone RFC etc - luxury compared to Liberty Stadium. If you think Ravers lacks atmosphere, a library has more noise than the Liberty! :D

18 min to the Errigle, 17min to the Pavilion and 16min to Malone on foot according to Google maps.

The Rosetta was also 16 min away.

Google maps is at best a rough guide.... :D Still luxury compared to the Liberty Stadium! Was at least 30 mins walk back into Swansea Centre from the stadium with no boozers en route!

Of the top of my head, I can think of 8 churches within a similar distance.

Cool.

I'm fairly tall, fat and hairy. My lass from Tyrone is not so much.
