"Ospreys have announced their new stadium will be based at St Helen’s in Swansea, with the Welsh region hoping to move in time for the start of the 2025-26 season."

They are going to work with 'Swansea council' to undermine the football club who also worked closely with 'Swansea council' to create a sporting hub for football and rugby.

"Swansea council" get a cut of revenues after they made a deal with American investors for the Swansea.com. I wonder if the American investors can see any conflict of interest in this move.

I wonder if "Swansea council" have done due diligence and checked with the WRU that the region will not be shut down as has been muted in the past.

Three new stands in in fifteen months starting now. Really?


You don't live in Swansea ,you don't contribute by way of the community charge so why the angst..I know life is slow up in the Valleys but technology in the construction industry has moved on since they built the Glyneath by pass.

There has been no comment from Swansea city on this matter to date. It is not known if they are happy to see the Ospreys go or not. They will lose some rent money and advertising for sure.

It could be that rent agreement has expired and a new deal was required.

I am seculating the the football club might be a little unhappy if the people they had done a deal with to house the Ospreys were now working with the Ospreys to facilitate their departure leaving a financial black hole.

I alone have mentioned the ideal facilities at Landore and the benefits of 'synergies'. Those synergies are now gone with duplication taking its place to a much lower standard.

Someone asked if there was an artist's impression. It was given in the enclosure and looks crap.

We will have to wait to see Swansea city's reaction.


Speculating? No that first sentence is a statement.

You alone? The Oracle of the Neath valley eh? Well if you'd read the story you'd have seen this,
Ospreys say they will continue to play home games at the Swansea.com Stadium for the 24/25 season, and are grateful for the support and understanding they continue to receive from the management and staff of Swansea City.

Aberdeen is pretty close to the sea but it's incredibly inhospitably cold when the wind comes off the north sea, which it does most of the time.


Yes, Pittodrie is just a golf course away from the sea I think. Gayfield Park in Arbroath is on the same NE coast and directly on the seafront. I experienced that cold wind during 7 years living on that coast. If you get off the sleeper from London early in the morning at Dundee Taybridge station in winter that wind hits you like a brick wall.

Grimsby is a miss hit shot away from the sea.

That could well be the English league ground nearest the sea.

The Uplands Brynmill area is really now a great hub of bars and restaurants. Hopefully with extra footfall from the Ospreys the area will thrive.
