In 2000-2001 season, The Swans were Relegated to Division Three, Lost to Wrexham in FAW Premier Cup Final at the Vetch Field
2001- 2002--Dismal season on and off the field. Ninth Floor (formerly Silver Shield) hand control of the Club pre-season to Managing Director Mike Lewis for £1. Six games into the season, after just 2 wins, John Hollins & Alan Curtis are sacked, and are replaced by
Colin Addison and 
Peter Nicholas. In October, Lewis hands over control of Club to Australia based Londoner 
Tony Petty, again for £1. Club lurches from one crisis to another under Petty, and is on it's knees when a local consortium took control of the Club at end of January. With Nationwide League survival secured in mid-March, Addison and Nicholas depart. After a spell as caretaker, Nick Cusack is appointed Player-Coach, with Alan Curtis returning as his Assistant. Season ends with a 1-0 defeat against Cardiff in the FAW Premier Cup Final.In 2002-03, Nick Cusack lasts just 9 games in charge at the Vetch and was removed from his position after a 1-0 defeat at Boston which left the Swans in last place of the Football League for the first time in their history. Brian Flynn replaces him and sets about improving the squad. A new record of 21 debuts in a season is set as the club's league status remains in the balance until the final day when a miracle performance by local lad
James Thomas handed the Swans a 4-2 win over Hull at a packed Vetch Field, with a hat-trick of his own, securing survival.
In 2003 - 04, The Swans got off to a great start and were flying high, this was short lived as the injury list increased. An F.A. Cup run into the 5th round gave fans a boost as the early promotion push ended on a low, missing out on the play-offs. The huge dip in form saw Flynn replaced at the helm by former Welsh International
Kenny Jackett taking a step up to management, having played second fiddle for most of his coaching career.In 2004- 05, An indecisive start had the critics calling for Jackett to be replaced. Results changed and a very mean defence pushed the Swans up the league, challenging for the title. Some disappointing results over February put the Jacks a little off the pace, but that wasn't enough to keep us from securing promotion on the final day of the season againt Bury. The season was capped off as the Swans said farewell to the Vetch with a 2-1 win over Wrexham in the FAW Premier Cup Final. The average attendance for that last season was 8,457.
