Merthyr Tydfil have announced long-term plans to move from Penydarren Park in the town centre to a sports village development at Rhydycar West, off the A470. Martyrs owner Wyn Holloway has bought the former coal-mining land from Celtic Energy and has met council leaders to present plans including a 15,000 seat football stadium, a multiplex cinema, tenpin bowling centre, swimming pool, 3,000-seat entertainment hall plus shops, hotels and housing. The project is bidding for European Union Objective One funding.

Sam Hammam's plans for a new stadium for Cardiff City at Leckwith have caused controversy in the city, with fears being expressed that the amount of retail space envisaged in the plans would seriously damage existing shopping areas on the eastern side of the city centre. Hammam had to meet local councillors to try to gain support for his plans.

Cwmbran Town's nomadic existence in the League of Wales continues this season, while they wait for Cwmbran Stadium's redevelopment to reach a stage where they can return. After playing their first few games at Victoria Road, home of Port Talbot Town, the Crows were dealt another blow when Neath Port Talbot Council objected to the arrangement, insisting that it was a breach of the lease terms. Merthyr Tydfil stepped into the breach and offered the use of Penydarren Park, which currently looks likely to act as Cwmbran's home until the New Year. Although the work on Cwmbran Stadium will not be complete until the Spring, it is looking possible that League of Wales football may be staged there again as early as January or February.

CPD Porthmadog, who have set their sights on winning promotion from the HGF Cymru Alliance to the League of Wales, are refurbishing the Town End cover at the Traeth and will install seats in it to comply with League of Wales ground criteria.

RTB Ebbw Vale, promoted to the Welsh League Division Three in the summer, have been using both Eugene Cross Park and their own Hilltop Sports Ground as home venues. The erection of a small covered stand on existing terracing at the former steelworks sports ground was completed in the autumn.

Pentwyn Dynamos, the South Wales Senior League champions, who were controversially promoted by an arbitration panel to the Welsh League Division Three after their groundshare proposals were rejected by the Welsh League, are playing at Leckwith Stadium this season. The ground, formerly the home of Inter Cardiff, is already used by Welsh League Division Two club Porto's Grange Harlequins, and Welsh League rules prohibit two member clubs using the same home venue. Their status will be reviewed next July, by which time the league will expect to see significant progress towards the provision of a ground of their own. The club has identified a site in
their north Cardiff heartland, behind Pentwyn Leisure Centre, but it is unlikely to be developed for at least two years.

Cogan Coronation, runners up to Pentwyn in the Senior League, appear to have abandoned ideas of moving away from the town of Penarth (they had considered sharing Jenner Park in Barry). They are now planning to enclose their existing pitch at Cogan Leisure Centre in readiness for promotion to the Welsh League in the next couple of years.

Llanbradach FC, of the South Wales Amateur League, are fighting opposition from residents to the erection of a stand on their ground. Planning permission has been refused once.
