A new old home for Ospreys side fighting for a future

After 20 years away, Ospreys return to their under-construction former ground this weekend amid uncertainty over the regions future.

St Helen's has been hosting Welsh sport - including football, cricket and rugby - since 1873

The Ospreys are returning to one of Welsh rugby's most historic grounds after 20 years away.

But with construction still ongoing, and the club's future uncertain, what awaits supporters at St Helen's?

Six weeks ago, there was little more than a newly laid artificial pitch.

Last week - as the ground staged Swansea v Cardiff in Super Rygbi Cymru (SRC) - there were two stands, fresh tarmac, temporary bars and an army of workers racing to finish the job.

On Saturday, the Ospreys will welcome Welsh rivals Dragons to St Helen's for the ground's first United Rugby Championship (URC) fixture, kicking off at 19:00 BST.

It has been an extraordinary transformation in a remarkably short space of time.
