Despite its ludicrous and unpopular 'official' name, the stadium is known to supporters either as the Morfa Stadium or as the White Rock Stadium: the former was the name of the athletics stadium which stood on the site from the 1970s until construction began on the current structure, whilst the latter was the working title used by the developers.
