Ospreys plan to play at St Helen’s next seasonImage source, Huiw Evans agencyByPhilip MarshBBC Sport WalesPublished37 minutes agoOspreys and Swansea Council have reaffirmed plans for the rugby team to return play at St Helen’s from the beginning of next season and leave their temporary home at Electric Brewery Field in Bridgend.The proposals will be discussed at a council cabinet meeting on Wednesday, 25 March.If the proposals are approved, work could commence next month in readiness for the 2026-27 season.Moving to St Helen’s would make it Ospreys’ third home venue in as many seasons, having left the Swansea.com Stadium to play in Bridgend for this campaign.The wish to make the traditional home of rugby in Swansea their team’s base for 2026-27 comes as Swansea Council and Ospreys fans fight Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) plans to cut the nation’s professional tier from four to three teams.The WRU has given Ospreys owners Y11 Sport & Media until Wednesday, 22 April to negotiate their proposed takeover of Cardiff.
That scenario has led to legal action, protests and the possibility of WRU chair Richard Collier-Keywood being the subject of a vote of no confidence at an extraordinary general meeting (EGM) of the governing body on Monday, 13 April.
