Yep, Barry played out of Treforest for a while back there due to.....issues.
But within the blink of an eye, they are back in the centre of town, a positive relationship with the council and hundreds of kids in youth teams associated with the club.
It all turned out for the best. So potentially, Ponty could argue a very similar case.

Valleyboy. I do get your point of view but is getting promoted and then getting your house in order the way forward.
Why would teams make the required improvements to step to the next level?
Why wouldn't every team look to use what cash it does have to bring in players to get promoted, achieve promotion and then look to ground share until it can make the required improvements. It doesn't feel right or equitable.

Sense of reality please gentlemen. Do you think for one second that Ponty want to have to move to Cardiff ? We all know the answer so why are they being berated? As for “supporters” we’ll all I can say is that true supporters stick by a club through thick and thin. This whole upheaval of clubs has been thrust upon clubs by the clueless dimwits that probably haven’t attended a routine Welsh League game for years. Sometimes a club has to take one step backwards to be able to take 2 steps forward and they should always be supported and admired for being brave enough to do so. Not chastised.
Newport County had to travel to Moreton in Marsh Gloucestershire to play home games in the Hellenic League to force their re-existence and look and what they’ve gone on to achieve. Barry Town also had a nomadic spell. Did either club want to do that or put themselves in a position where it was necessary? Feel free to Google the real meaning of true football supporter. Some “supporters” may have to clear the previous search history from their browser which was “fair weather supporter” before they google the proper meaning

The facts have been posted.I notice you support Villa so facts probably don't interest you.You sound a lot like Lyndon Francis tbh.There is currently no way back into Pontypridd unless a suitable ground or the ability to upgrade Ynysangharad Park became possible.Unless you live in Pontypridd or are associated with Pontypridd Town fc then you wont fully get it will you ? The club had to move,The choice was taken to move to Parc Usw ,a new ground is on the cards as the present one is unsuitable which was the initial plan anyway,And for the record there are very few if any links kept or being forged with the town of Pontypridd.Sorry but that's fact.You give other examples all of which kept a presence in the places they were from while playing outside of their home towns,fact |

No but if that was the only means to an end I would not stop supporting them or their cause. White Tips Stadium, USW Treforest are venues that Barry have had to use in the past and the support and understanding was nothing short of magnificent. Sense of reality please gentlemen.

With all due respect to 2 of the clubs mentioned Barry and Newport they both folded and had to start from the beginning.And therefore play at grounds that weren't their own Pontypridd Towns situation is different.To my knowledge Pontypridd Town have no plans or intention to return to the Town.Im pretty sure Barry and Newport always had that aim. |

I think there is a huge difference between ground sharing out of necessity and ground sharing to circumvent rules.
Also the lack of any connection remaining to Pontypridd in term of players and management makes this feel like the club is being used a neo franchise .

I think there's quite a few ponty ites still at the club?
Plus isn't USW in Pontypridd?
Anyway
The rule changes have meant STM are looking to share with taffs Well, away from their st mellons base.
Llantwit are off to Jenner park too! So a lot of clubs are looking at those routes.
Either that or stay in division 2 I guess.

STM to Taffs Well?  Blimey Charley Where do they go the following season then that will be FAW Championship compliant? Failing that, where will they play that’s even tier 3? Surely the second they leave that 3G another Club will snaffle it up? There’s already one other side playing on it from what I can make out from Twitter? I’m quite sad to hear this if it’s true it must be said. They are bloody formidable on that carpet and it’s a nice enough ground for spectators as well. I hope they have somewhere to go the year after, be that in Tier 2 or 3, or we could be discussing an awful situation in 12 months time. Good luck to them, I just hope my lack of knowledge has led me to jump to a wrong conclusion! |

STM at Taffs well I can’t see that lasting long. Proof though that the FAW are forcing clubs out of their communities.

It’s been written on here previously that there are only about 80 seats at Cardiff Uni 3G. If there was 100 seats STM could stay there in Div 1 for one year, going off what Huw Jones has told us? Maybe I’m missing something obvious here, but where they go a year from now when the block booking on the Cardiff Uni 3G is troubling isn’t it? Some on here know more than me on this stuff. |

Mellon be the one to ask. My understanding Stm asked to temporary share with Taffs,wether they can get the additional seats installed then is the question. Understand Nigel has bought the seats already and awaiting University paperwork to be completed, Going be a busy summer,was at Ammanford Sat lots do there to get teir2 |
