Steve Jones is a writer with a wide variety of interests. Why not check out his latest work where he reviews the Village Hotel Swansea and Oxwich Bay Hotel.
Both Swansea City Football Club and Ospeys Rugby Union Club share the Liberty Stadium in Swansea. The stadium is built on the west bank of the River Tawe in Landore, about 2 miles from the city centre. It was completed in 2005, and the first match at the stadium took place in July 2005.
The stadium cost around £27 million to build and is quite an impressive structure. The stadium is completely enclosed and has seating in all four corners. The East Stand is the stand of choice of most of the die-hard fans, while the West Stand is a family stand.
The North Stand is where the away fans are housed. This stand can hold 3,500 fans, though it usually holds much less, due to the fact that home and away fans need to be segregated. So, for football fans at least, there is always empty seating in that stand.
The concourses in the stadium are quite spacious, although it doesn’t always seem like it, especially at half time. The facilities are pretty good, but this is to be expected from a new stadium. The food and drink for sale at the stadium is what you’d expect from a football stadium. In other words, it’s not up to much; just the usual burgers, pies and beer. During football matches you can drink alcohol on the concourse but not in the stadium itself. If you are attending a rugby match, you can drink alcohol in the stadium.
If you’re driving to the stadium, you need to leave the M4 at junction 45 and take the A4067 towards the city centre. The stadium is around two and a half miles from junction 45. If travelling by train, you can either walk to the stadium, which will take around 20-30 minutes, ot you’ll need to take a bus or taxi.

Juice Fasting – The Lowdown
By: Steve Jones | 22/11/2009 | NutritionMany people have heard of juice fasting and many have also completed a juice fast. But first of all, let's get the terminology sorted out. There is no such thing as a juice fast. If you are drinking juice, then you are not faster. So, juice fasting is a complete misnomer.
