The chance to attract a new sponsor fell through because we were relegated. |  | | |

How many years ago did ‘Liberty’ stop paying for the naming rights? | | | |

I believe that they had a 10 year deal that ended in 2015. IMO the stadium should then have changed the name to "The City of Swansea Stadium" thus informing everyone that the naming rights were available. |  | | |

One would imagine so given it says so on the Swansea.com website.
“ This investment in the naming rights of the stadium signifies our continuous support to the club, and city.”
Obviously wonderful coordination with announcements from the club 😂😂 | | | |

What's that bit about 'repurchasing'!?
Well anything would be better than getting zero from Liberty. Just unfortunate that it's an entity that has already made a fortune from the club. | |

Unlike Liberty.
Always left a sour taste in my mouth that after what was allegedly a long and expensive search, the naming rights just happened to end up in the hands of an Egger Construction company with strong council links. |  |

What council links were those then?
Because what actually happened was that Liberty (Scott Gibbs etc were involved in sorting out the deal) were the only organisation that made any sort of offer and the money they paid allowed for the completion of the stadium so it could open. | | | |

I remember jokingly commenting on the name sounding like personal hygiene product and got a long email from Scott Gibbs outlining the situation which you have summarised perfectly. |  |

Yeah, people forget that the Swans were the lesser draw in those days. Ospreys were the bigger deal commercially. No one had any interest at all in naming a stadium with a league 1 team playing there.
Even when we were premier league look at who our sponsors were of stands etc, and no one was interested in naming the stadium even then. Unless you’re a massive club, there’s just no money in it any more. Even the big teams are either names associated with owners (Etihad, Bet365j, flagship sponsorship at the opening to gain maximum traction (the Emirates) or smallish deals. | | | |

Even in league one Swansea were averaging more than the ospreys.
Over 14,000 in our first season at the Liberty. The ospreys struggled to get 10,000 with only the scarlets derby anywhere near full. | |
