Bluebird News Today

TRAINING GROUND RESOLVED AT LAST?
After all this time, Cardiff City finally seem on the verge of having a dedicated training facility and it's back at The Vale Hotel where the Academy have been based for some time and City intended to use before until planning permission failed.

With new plans set to be submitted, it does however City will have their own training pitches plus office and other facilities to be shared with Cardiff Blues and the Welsh national football and egg chasing sides.

The Bluebirds have notoriously been training at wherever there is available space but it's rarely ideal. It's been Jenner Park, Cardiff UWIC, local parks and even bike rides when no pitches have been available. Maybe ok when we were a Div 3/4 side but it's wholly unsuitable now.

LEDLEY NEW CONTRACT TO BE SIGNED IN DAYS
Joe has confirmed the final details are ironed out and he will sign a new deal on return from Welsh international duty.

HASSLEBAINK
It now seems likely that Jimmy will be in the mix for the 16 this weekend against Coventry - probably from the bench - but both Riccy Scimeca and Robbie Fowler didn't play yesterday's friendly at Hereford and need a few days more training. However both could be involved in another closed doors friendly next midweek.
