The M.A. I am currently writing covers the period from 1958 to 1977.  These were the Wooller years, when Wilfred Wooller was player, captain and secretary of the club.  The thesis inevitably looks at an assessment of his impact on the club.  However, is also an attempt to look at the way the committee responded to the significant changes that took place in the game of cricket in this period.  It will hopefully form the basis of a larger work looking at the modern history of the club up until 2013 and the return of Hugh Morris as Chief Executive.

​

The broad outline of the work is as follows:

​

Part 1 : The Way of the Dragon (1958-1977)

Chapter 1 : The end of amateurism.

Chapter 2 :  The emergence of one-day cricket.

Chapter 3 :  Other changes in the First-Class game.

​

Parts 2 and 3 titled 'Out of the Shadows (1977 to 1997)' and 'Into the Light (1998 -2013)' are based on a quote from director of marketing of the club, Tony Dilloway, on the unveiling of plans in 1996 that would become the SSE SWALEC stadium we know today.  He said:

​

We want to build a ground of which our members, the people of Cardiff and the whole of Wales can be proud.  Glamorgan are no longer prepared to be in the shadows of county cricket.  We want our light to shine brightly and allow our spectators to enjoy the best.
