This may be the start of the Domino Effect. With the FAW intent on making teams spend money they haven't got to upgrade grounds, for supporters they haven't got or will ever get, more and more teams may fall by the wayside. Instead of helping football in the community as they should the FAW is doing it's best to kill it off.
Making teams have 250 seats when only 50 turn up week in week out is a massive overkill and unless the teams put in security shutters on their stands lets see how many of those seats are still there in two years time.

Reading their lengthy statement it seems the issues aren’t completely financial.
They’re not in debt and their stand was covered by a grant.
Seems like future personnel and future revenue streams are the main concerns. As they are for most clubs I’d imagine.
The tier gradings are required to improve the “senior” part of the pyramid in my opinion.

Very sad news - I've enjoyed my visits to Ton Pentre. Sincerely hope the local community will rally around.

I’m sure they put out a message like this 2-3 years ago, it’s not just money, it’s personnel. With the FAW’s increasing standards push on clubs (beyond ground criteria) it’s only going to get harder.

Really hope the bulldogs make it to next season. It will otherwise only be Cambrian and Porth representing the Rhondda in the wfl.
