Ninian Park Railway Station

Now that Ninian Park itself is no more, doesn't it stand to reason to rename Ninian Park Railway Station as Cardiff City Stadium Station?
While we're at it, how about laying a pavement through the Jubilee Recreation Ground from the corner of Sloper Road and Leckwith Road - connecting the station directly to the stadium with the park?
Here's what I'm thinking :
In a few years hopefully Cardiff City start playing in Europe (Swansea already are). When foreign fans arrive we want to blow them away by the excellence of our club and city.
Talks are already underway to have a direct train service from Cardiff Airport Terminal Building to Cardiff Central Station. On big match occasions trains coming from Cardiff Airport could stop at the existing Ninian Park Station en-route to Cardiff Central, allowing visiting fans off there so they can walk from the station to the stadium via the park.
There is a station about half a mile from Anfield and there has been talk of Liverpool forking out to have that opened up that for fans.

Go to Ninian Park Station on route to Central fromthe Airport..? You do know which lines go where in the area do you..? Doesn't look like so maybe I should tell you that the rail line which would go to fromthe Airport would be the Vale line so goes from West to East past grangetown and continue to central fromthere however Ninian Park goes north through the City. So unless the train completely changes direction half way down the track and we have drivers running to the other side of the train then your plan doesn't make no sense whatsoever!!!
