Green light for Exiles switch
LONDON Welsh have taken a major stride towards relocating to Witney after plans for a 10,000-seater stadium were approved by West Oxfordshire councillors.
The Exiles are considering leaving their current home, the Kassam Stadium in Oxford, for the former ground of Witney Town FC next season. The plans – approved despite objections from Sport England – would see them erect new stands.
London Welsh, on course for promotion to the Premiership, must now gain approval for the switch from the Professional Game Board of Rugby Union.
