It’s already a home from home for the Liberty Stadium faithful, but now away fans have given Swansea City’s hallowed turf a resounding thumbs up.

The venue has come out top in a number of categories in a survey of away fans for the 2016-17

season run by The Football Supporters’ Federation.

The survey asked visiting fans to rate both outside and inside the ground, on a scale from one, representing very poor, to five, for excellent.

The Liberty Stadium ranked first of the 20 Premier League clubs for entering the stadium, with a score of 4.43 — the league average was 3.65.

And it ranked fifth for price of refreshments, first for choice of refreshments and first for quality and comfort of the away sector, with a score of 4.18.

The behaviour of stewards and club staff also saw the stadium ranked first, while it came in second for overall value for money.

What the Swans had to say

“It has been a conscious effort from everyone involved to make the Liberty Stadium a fan-friendly place to visit on matchday, and the fact so many away fans have rated us so highly proves that our efforts have been recognised.

“It is something we aim to continue, not just for away fans but also for Swansea supporters.

“It is particularly pleasing to see club staff and stewards ranking in first place, as the stadium has placed great emphasis on training staff not just in safety aspects, but also in giving a warm welcome to supporters.

“It is nice to be recognised in this way.”
