New Stadium Opening Game Today


At 3pm today, the first public event will be underway at the new Cardiff City stadium which is required to hold a number of ramped up events to test the facilities and resources at the new ground ahead of the league opener against Scunthorpe United on August 8.

The game - a "Legends Match" featuring former players led by former managers Eddie Eddie Eddie May and Lennie Lawrence has an 11,000 capacity set and not all facilities will be open and available. To date, ticket sales have been sluggish with less than 4,000 sold. The club are hoping the walk up crowd will take it beyond 7,000 which is more than healthy for what it is.

Tickets are available - £10 for adults, £5 for kids/oaps on 0845 - 345 1400 or by visiting the ticket office at the new stadium.

The next event is tomorrow when Cardiff City will conduct a public training session at 11am. That is a free event.

I won't be there myself - saving myself for when it matters and I've seen the stadium already - but will update the blog with news this evening.
