Barry is close geographically but transport wise isn’t great.

Aye. Crappy little sprinter train on the Cardiff to Bridgend route.

Cardiff International Sports Stadium? Holds 5k and Suitable until a club got to SL then hop it to Cardiff Arms Park.

You would pay similar for a far poorer venue in doing that

Fair enough, thought you might be able to get it on the cheap but if not then CAP , with some hospitality spots, is a better bet.

What grounds are there in Cardiff itself that would be appropriate for rugby league at the level it's likely to be.

PBC has covered this but another left field option could be Cardiff Met Uni’s ground.

Its basic and around 2,000 or so capacity wise.

Would be great to have another team in Wales. I reckon a Cardiff based team could be reasonably competitive as well. Changes in league 1 likely to put off potential new teams though

Yep, as well as potential new teams everywhere. Probably what the RFL and SL want though.

Definitely a good starting point.  Obv come champ they need to go to CAP but it would be a good place to start and not feel empty.

Congratulations to the Cardiff Women on their victory over London Broncos!

Just to add to this thread.....

Wheelchair Rugby League in Wales has come on in leaps and bounds in the 10 years I've been involved.

My first experience on managing Wales was to find 7 players with Welsh heritage. Our last set of trial games for the (now postponed) World Cup saw 40 people applying to come to trials.

We've gone from one Club (North Wales Crusaders) to now having 4 clubs playing or at least training in Wales. Its been amazing to be part of this experience.
