Stradey Park (Welsh: Parc y Strade) was a rugby union stadium located near the centre of the town of Llanelli in Carmarthenshire, Wales.

In the early days of international rugby, all the British countries switched venues on a regular basis to allow supporters the chance to see their team and clubs the opportunity of share gate receipts.

The game was arranged for 8 January and a temporary stand was erected to allow a seating area so the club could charge higher ticket prices; but on the day the English team refused to play on the ground as the pitch was frozen.

[1] The adjacent cricket ground was in better condition, so the match was moved there along with the entire crowd, many members of which were extremely unhappy as they lost their seating area.

In the final match, Stradey Park played host to Ireland and again temporary stands were erected, this time on the east and west sides.

Although no official attendance figures were taken, the South Wales Daily News stated 'an immense concourse of people assembled on the park; in fact it was the largest that had ever been witnessed at a football match in the tin plate town'.

At least one game of Association Football (soccer) was played at Stradey Park, when Llanelli drew 0-0 with Gefle IF in the UEFA Cup first round, second leg, on Thursday 27 July 2006.

Due to the ground's owners, Llanelli RFC Ltd, having financial difficulties following the game turning professional, Stradey Park was sold to the Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) in 1997 for £1.25 million.

Talks about replacing Stradey Park with a new stadium on the outskirts of Llanelli began in June 2003 with the advent of the Scarlets regional side.

[25] Three days later, the Scarlets played their last game at Stradey Park; they beat Bristol 27–0 in an EDF Energy Cup match, with a crowd of over 10,800 in attendance.

[29] One of the sets of posts from Stradey Park were erected on the island in the middle of the Berwick roundabout on the eastern side of Llanelli, after an application was approved in September 2009.

The utensils are a reference to the past of Llanelli as a major tin plating centre, as well as to the traditional club anthem, "Sosban Fach" (Welsh for "little saucepan").
