Swansea get stadium go-ahead
June 26, 2002

Swansea have finally been given the go-ahead for their new 20,000 seater Morfa Stadium that they will share with their football club neighbours.

It is the first joint professional rugby and soccer stadium in Wales and is due to open in September next year after final legal hurdles have been overcome.

The Western Mail reports that Swansea City and County Council has signed agreements with developers Miller after protracted discussions about the finer details of the £70m stadium project.

Among the stumbling blocks was the need for the council to comply with new Best Value guidelines regarding the council's land at Morfa which will be used to house the joint sports complex.

Swansea City FC and Swansea RFC plan to share a home at Morfa, around two miles from the city centre, at the start of the 2003-04 season.
