Redevelopment work has finally started on the Vetch, the home of football in Swansea from its opening in 1912 to its closure in 2005 when football activity moved to the Liberty stadium. Today, the grandstands that once resounded to cheers are now succumbing to the grinding and banging of the demolishing machines.
