Anyone have any idea on when the seasons fixtures for Division 2 and 3 will be added to the Welsh League Website?
I have noticed the first division fixtures are showing but nothing for the other leagues.

From reviewing the fixtures it looks as though Pontypridd are playing away from home untill October. Can only assume that their new pitch at Leckwith isn't ready or work is being carried out on it to meet tier 2 criteria.
Surely criteria has to be met before start of season?
I'm confident other teams would of been able to get cretieria met by October if that option was available to them.
Seems like the goal posts have been moved (literally) to suit Pontypridd needs.

I got shot down for stating this on another thread. Cwmbran Celtic seem to have managed to meet league 1 criteria. |

I’m afraid your wrong there pontyultra because each season a number of teams are excused from early home fixtures for a number of reasons such as the ground being used for cricket or athletics etc.
It’s completely the norm.

So a tier2 licence can be obtained if your pitch not available for nearly a 1/4 of the season, yet a club denied tier2 if pitch available all season with tier2 criteria met before season start. Also Ammanford listed to play at home same time as BFL from Jan 19 onwards, are they returning home then, if so does this meet criteria, was this option made available to all clubs applying for tier2 licences ?

A couple of seasons ago Barry Town started their season with something like 10 away games. Aberystwyth did the same the season before last, in the same way Carmarthen Town did last season.
It's pretty well documented that a new surface is being laid at Leckwith and this is the reason for the batch of away games.
Aren't Spurs supposed to be doing the same as well?

It's not the norm at all Yet more rambling from the king of rambling. How many Welsh league sides or south Wales alliance or gwent league are playing a batch of games away because the home pitch isn't ready? Have a count.then get back to us .how many Welsh league sides still share with a cricket field ? Lol or even are allowed to .get it right hotdog |

Just in the Welsh League First Division there are three clubs given dispensation to commence their home games in October.

Sorry Pasti you are forgetting Ton Pentre, Undy and of course as you say ourselves at Pontypridd Town, Ammanford as well as you say maybe Llantwit Major, but I am not sure about about LM.Those clubs will be returning to playing at their own grounds as soon as they can.

I think Cwmbran Celtic will be starting the season at Celtic Park.
Ton look to be doing the same ?
Undy are ground sharing at Chepstow ?
In all cases they will be returning to their home ground/town bar one.
