The final preparation of the lower rootzone and under pitch heating is taking place at the moment.
We will keep you updated of developments as they happen, so keep checking this website.
The grass from the home of welsh rugby could be growing in the gardens of its loyal supporters shortly.
The pitch that saw the welsh team win the latest ”Grand Slam”, the 10th in welsh rugby history, is being sold. The 5,000 pieces of turf, which each measure 180mm x 250mm, will be posted out to supporters in a special presentation box along with a marker flag and a certificate of authenticity signed by winning team coach, Warren Gatland.
The turf has already been removed from the stadium and is now at our depot in Bridgend, where our staff will take charge of distributing the turf to rugby supporters who want to own a piece of history!
To purchase a piece of this special turf which saw the men in red shirts triumph and bring the “Grand Slam” back to Wales in 2008, just visit www.wru.co.uk/shop
The Llanelli Scarlets stadium is being built at Pemberton to replace the famous Stradey Park, which was the home of Llanelli rugby for over a century.
Right now, we are installing the pitch drainage and irrigation systems.
We’ll be posting more updates about the project as the work progresses.
The “Stereophonics” and “Feeder” were just two of the performers that took to the stage in the Millennium Stadium during the “Grand Slam” celebration party on the afternoon of May Bank Holiday.
Once the music had stopped and the stage was dismantled, we moved into the stadium the following afternoon to remove the existing surface. 40mm was korrowed off in two passes of the machine, the first just taking off the vegetation and a small amount of soil and the latter just soil, this soil will now be re-used.
There were no real problems and this exercise was completed in time for the pitch removal to take place the next morning.
