Representatives of a consortium of potential investors have confirmed that a meeting took place on Thursday 3rd May with Martyn Hazell, Chairman of Newport Gwent Dragons, Tony Brown and Gethin Jenkins to discuss the future of the Dragons.
The meeting was convened to discuss a proposal, which could result in the new consortium taking on the franchise to run the Dragons.
The organisation has ambitious plans to build a sports and entertainment complex in or around the Newport area to serve the whole of Gwent and South East Wales. A key part of their sport and entertainment portfolio is a professional rugby franchise.
Both parties confirm that talks are on going and that no further media comment will be issued until they have reached a conclusion
