The 22-year-old will line up for Wales in the first international at the impressive new Cardiff City stadium against Scotland on Saturday.[LNB]Suddenly it is home from home for the Cardiff midfielder, who still has not sorted out the saga of his new contract with the Bluebirds.[LNB]But with Cardiff pushing for promotion to the top flight, Ledley could achieve all of his dreams without leaving his home city.[LNB]He said: "It will be great to play in my home stadium for Wales, it's a smashing place, the pitch is excellent and hopefully it will be a sell-out. Certainly all the lads are looking forward to it.[LNB]"Ninian Park used to be a frightening atmosphere for visiting teams, but that's gone now and hopefully the new ground will become just as intimidating. Cardiff's fans have been doing their best this season."[LNB]Cardiff, third in the Championship, suffered defeat to their Swansea rivals at the weekend, but that has not lessened Ledley's belief that the Premier League could be just around the corner.[LNB]He said: "We are all disappointed with losing the derby to Swansea, we just were not good enough and sloppy, certainly in the second-half having fought back from 2-0 down.[LNB]"But that, we hope, is a blip in what is becoming a good season for us.[LNB]"We are nearly a third way through the campaign now and we are sustaining the levels that we had last season when we almost got into the play-offs.[LNB]"We have improved the squad and third place at this stage is very encouraging.[LNB]"We all believe that we are improving and we all desperately want to play in the Premier League."[LNB][LNB]
