Today's ASW story http://icwales.icnetwork.co.uk/southwalesecho/news/tm_headline=hopes-of-triumph-for-asw-workers%26method=full%26objectid=19450980%26siteid=50082-name_page.html marks a huge watershed in the Echo's Justice for the Workers campaign.
This campaign was launched five years ago when the workers at the ASW factory lost their pensions when their company collapsed.
Today Peter Hain has told us that he will be making sure in his new position as Pensions Minister that the workers will get their money.
This is fantastic news - and best of all is that Mr Hain says this will be confirmed next Tuesday.
For the workers, this is a culmination of a remarkable fight that has taken them from the streets of Cardiff to the corridors of power in London and Europe.
They have won support from all over the world in their fight and now, five years on, someone has finally listened.
That person is Peter Hain, the Welsh Secretary who now also wears a second hat as Works and Pensions Secretary.
Mr Hain does have a track record of straight-talking and getting the job done, most spectacularly in Northern Ireland.
So if his promises are delivered next Tuesday - and we sincerely hope they are - this could well bring to the whole ASW scandal to a just ending.
I've just heard that the Michael Chopra deal has been finalised and he will be leaving City for Sunderland.
It would be churlish to do anything but wish him well with the Black Cats. But from what I read today on the Sunderland Echo website http://www.sunderlandecho.com/sport?articleid=3028635 he will have his work cut out up there to win over the fans.
Chopra of course is a Geordie and a Newcastle United fan. Put simply Sunderland don't like Newcastle and vice versa. And it probably didn't help the situation that Chopra is often quoted about his dislike of his new team and how he loves to score against them, as indeed he did for Cardiff last season.
Football fans have long memories but I am sure that with a few goals under his name early on in the season that talent will win through and Chopra will become a hero in the Stadium of Light.
But of course if he doesn't get goals early on... well, that will be a different matter altogether.
