. . . we take a look back at that memorable afternoon at Wembley in 2011 as Swansea City won promotion to the Barclays Premier League following a dramatic victory over Reading.
Swansea City Association Football Club is a Welsh professional football club based in the city of Swansea, South Wales that plays in the Premier League. Swansea City represent England when playing in European competitions, although they have represented Wales in the past. They play their home matches at the Liberty Stadium.
The club was founded in 1912 as Swansea Town and joined the Football League in 1921. The club changed their name in 1969, when it adopted the name Swansea City to reflect Swansea's new status as a city.
In 1981, the club were promoted to the original Football League First Division. It was during the following season they came close to winning the league title, but a decline then set near the season's end before finishing sixth, although a club record. It was from here the club suffered a relegation the season after, returning to the Football League Fourth Division a few seasons later, then narrowly avoided relegation to the Football Conference in 2003. Prior to playing home matches at the Liberty Stadium, the team had previously hosted at the Vetch Field. The Swansea City Supporters Society Ltd owns 20% of the club, with their involvement hailed by Supporters Direct as "the most high profile example of the involvement of a supporters' trust in the direct running of a club".
In 2011, Swansea were promoted to the English Premier League, becoming the first Welsh team to play in the top division since its formation in 1992. On 24 February 2013, Swansea beat Bradford City 5-0 to win the 2012-13 Football League Cup (the competition's highest ever winning margin for the final), winning the first major English trophy in the club's history and qualifying for the 2013-14 UEFA Europa League.

I still remember this day as if it was only yesterday what a great feeling watching your team lifting the trophy 🏆 and getting to the premier league

Without Monks making that block when it was 3-2 we probably would have lost that game and we probably wouldn't have ever gotten into the premier league let alone Europe a couple seasons ago! It still unbelievable that it was the exact same score line as the game against Hull back in 2003 that put us on the path to the top! This day is my most cherished memory of football. The range of emotions throughout the day was incredible and I still get goosebumps every time I think about it!

As much as I want Brentford or Barnsley in the PL, I wouldn’t even mind if u guys make it. You’ve proven yourselves to be a great side that’s won the EFL Cup and has played in the UEL. I hope u guys make it. Good luck, from a Man Utd fan.

I can hardly remember anything, and I was sober. Just the goals, and then feeling sick as the goals came in for Reading in the second half. Looking at the sky and begging for us to do it, and then the 4th goal and final whistle. The people running around on the M4 at the toll booths with Swans flags, what a day

The commentator's were Welsh, so they were hardly going to support Reading. They were very complimentary of Reading however, and that was good to see.
