Cardiff City Stadium To Host Dragons Vs Glasgow Warriors

Cardiff City Stadium Welsh Rugby club, Dragons, have confirmed that the region’s Round Four fixture in the Guinness PRO14 Rainbow Cup against Glasgow Warriors will now take place at the Cardiff City Stadium on May 29th.

This change of venue is to allow necessary work to commence on the Dragon’s Rodney Parade pitch which the they share with Newport RFC and Newport County AFC.

A new ‘SIS hybrid’ pitch was scheduled to be installed following the 2019/20 season, but due to Covid‑19 restrictions this was delayed until the completion of the current campaign.

Mark Jones, Managing Director at Dragons, has stated that they were extremely grateful to their colleagues at Cardiff City, the Guinness PRO14 and host broadcasters for their support and understanding with this venue change and went on to say that whilst work on the pitch was delayed for a number of weeks to ensure Newport County could play any play‑off fixtures, it was now vital to start renovations so it can be completed for the 2021/22 season.

Mr Jones went on to say: “The pitch is part of a series of projects being carried out to enhance our matchday experience ahead of the anticipated return of fans next season.

“The confirmation of the venue change sadly does mean fans will not have seen the Dragons at home this season. We will therefore be in touch with our Season Members as soon as possible with a full update on plans.

“We thank the Dragons Family for their unwavering support and understanding throughout a season where they have been missed hugely.

“Everybody at Dragons here is looking forward to the day they return home next season.”
