Cardiff Council, Cardiff City Football Club and Cardiff Amateur Athletic Club are on Thursday delighted to announce that an agreement has been reached regarding the future of the athletics stadium in Leckwith.
It had been widely reported in the media that Cardiff Athletic Stadium would have to be out of action for up to 11 months in order that the development of Cardiff City Football Club's new stadium could go ahead.
But Cardiff City Stadium Ltd, the developers of the new football stadium, have informed all parties that this is now not the case and it is still working towards the original plan of having new athletics facilities in place before demolition starts, so the transition is as seamless as possible.
It goes onto explain in more details and includes quotes from some of the main players including Peter Ridsdale who says
"We are delighted to have found a solution which works for all parties and hopefully we can get all outstanding matters resolved in the next month or so to get the green light for the stadium development to start."
The full statement can be found here on the official website.
