I see the WRU is readying a £20 million bid for the facility, with the Blues having previously suggested they'll be leaving in 2022 when their lease is up. Cardiff Athletics Club really are an awkward, archaic bunch aren't they ? Long overdue that stadium getting demolished, it's quite a big eye sore these day.
Are the Blues coming back to the CCS?
You'd like to think not.
I imagine if the WRU get the land a new stadium will be developed on the site, in conjunction with other developments. I imagine they'd move in there, but no idea where they'd go for the duration of any new stadium being constructed. Leckwith ?
£1million income a year in car parking fees
Glanmors gap giving them the keys to the kingdom of heaven as far as the rugby stadium and wru are concerned
Peter Thomas nearly out of the frame
Debt free No need to move
£20 million is cheap
And where would the athletic club go
The athletics stadium is available.
£20 million does seem cheap to be fair, but I'm sure if the WRU wants to badly enough, they will get it. The stadium in my opinion has to go, it's a dump now. Worse than Ninian Park, nearly 9 years later and in a central location. That stadium without a doubt has to go. Athletics club, like another poster has said, could go to leckwith ?
I seem to remember it is far more complex than you would have thought. They was some sort of restrictive covenant on the land and an agreement with all the associated sports club that they all had to sign up to any deal.
