The Cymru Alliance have given details of clubs applying for promotion from their feeder leagues. Any news from the Welsh League.

Promotion to the Cymru Alliance League (tier 2) involves clubs from 3 different tier 3 leagues, unlike promotion within the Welsh Football League structure. WL division two (tier3) clubs wishing to be considered for promotion to division one (tier2) must make application to the League by 31st December each year. Eight clubs have applied and will be subject to a facilities inspection by the FAW in February at a cost of £150 each. Interesting if you finish in a promotion place but do not make the required ground grading.

A facilities inspection has already been made at Llanelli Town unfortunately. I am dreading the WPL. I've followed the reds for 28 years and the last 5 in the welsh league divisions 3-2-1 have been the best. Hate to say it but i hope we fail the licence application.

The WPL is quickly becoming a bit of a different place for southerly teams these days. With a bit of luck next year you will still have Carmarthen Town in the league as very-local rivals, add Cardiff Met and Barry Town into that as well as Aber Town which isn't a million miles from Llanelli and things aren't so bad!

This was e mailed to me off a very reliable source . Regarding my home club Hi Mark
Based on the tier 2 criteria that were published, I think you're absolutely right. Not enough seats, lack of hardstanding and paths, turnstiles, public address system, refreshment facilities, emergency lighting, toilets.
Originally the idea was that a tier 2 license would be needed for 2018-19. Some time in 2017 that was quietly changed so that clubs at tier 2 only need to comply with tier 2 criteria rather than actually go through a licensing process.
When I asked the FAW in late 2017 if they were still on course to implement the tier 2 criteria for next season, they confirmed that they were.
However, I wonder whether it will be a case of having to meet all criteria by a date (end April?) or whether there will be any leeway if clubs are on course to comply. Whether this is even relevant in Ponty's case possibly depends how soon the new stadium at USW Treforest is expected to be ready. Has it even started construction?
