Whilst To add some extra spice to the game, we are delighted to welcome Sgorio to departure was planned from London at 6am, the FAW had other ideas, calling our game braodcast our game to the nation. It certainly has a pitch and facilities worthy of the off against Cefn Druids in the early hours of Saturday morning. It certainly was not the cameras, and we will be doing all we can to ensure we put on a great show for all. start we dreamed of, and hoped our game would have hit the headlines for different With three very tough games coming up against three of the big 4, with Connah’s reasons, but such is life. Quay to visit here next week, before trips to Barry Town and Bala to follow, we really need to get that first win under our belts as we go in to these tough run of games. It was a long and hard few weeks getting The Bridge Meadow Stadium, and the hard work of dedication of the ground staff, volunteers, and Club Secretary was fantastic, and I However, its playing these big teams that makes being back in the Cymru Premier so cannot thank them enough. The hard work was not wasted though, as just one week later exciting, and we are all more than up for the challenge. Its sad that we cannot allow we now host Newtown. I would firstly like to welcome all their staff and players, and wish fans to join us at this time, but we hope to welcome you back to The Bridge Meadow them a safe journey back after the game. very soon. We did indeed start our season a few days later than expected, and I was delighted to Come on the Bluebirds! earn a draw against a very good young Cardiff Metropolitan side. A point away from home against a team 7th in the league last season was a great achivement, and something we certainly would have taken if it was on offer before the game. I feel it took us a while to get in to the game, and Cardiff Met had the better of the early exhanges, but we grew in to the game and finished really strongly. A point was more than fair. However, had Steve Hall not made a fine save on the half hour, or Marcus Griffiths taken his chance just seconds later it could have a been a different outcome for either side. I thought we looked well drilled, well organised, and battled hard. Today, we face another stern test. Newtown have not started the season well, having lost their opening two games, but we all know they are far better than that, having finished 6th last season, and recruited well in the summer. They will be keen to avenge those defeats, and we are fully expect them to make it very difficult for us, and the lads will have to be at the top of their game.

  • Petition P-05-1027 Allow Welsh Domestic Football Clubs to Play
    Petition P-05-1027 Allow Welsh domestic football clubs to play friendlies and allow supporters to attend matches. Discussions taking place on your working groups with clubs. All clubs in Wales (until we enter Alert Level 4) are now allowed by the FAW to play friendlies within their own leagues and/or within their own County Borough. However, the Welsh Government Regulation of a maximum number of 30 participants in an outdoor event must be respected. This ‘Rule of 30’ does not allow the full compliment of substitutes or coaching staff to participate in these games and the FAW entrusts the clubs and the match officials to ensure that it is complied with. Currently 26,000 registered players are not playing football compared with the 2019/20 season as a direct consequence of COVID-19 and it is the FAW’s view that the ‘Rule of 30’ is one of the influencing factors. The FAW’s National Leagues Board has set up a Working Group which meets on a weekly basis to discuss the societal and financial impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. Without supporters and/or significant financial assistance, it remains a possibility that Clubs within our National Leagues in Wales may not complete the season, which would lead to the demise of the hub of many communities throughout Wales. The FAW strongly supports an increase in the number of people permitted in organised outdoor sport, but also recognizes the severity of the current Public Health situation. The FAW would encourage the Welsh Government to reconsider this Regulation within an Alert Level 2 situation, enabling 50 persons in organised activity, so there is a staggered approach through the four different Tiers.

You asked for: 1) all agendas, minutes & summaries of all meetings between representatives of the Welsh Government, Sport Wales & Football Association of Wales where financial support of Welsh Premier Football League, JD Cymru North & South Football Leagues and the Ardel Football Leagues was discussed between February 2020 up to and including 27th January 2021. 2) Copies of all correspondence between representatives of the Welsh Government, Sport Wales & Football Association of Wales where financial support of Welsh Premier Football League, JD Cymru North & South Football Leagues, Ardel Football Leagues & below was discussed between February 2020 up to and including 27th January 2021. 3) Copies of all internal correspondence involving senior Government representatives on the subject of financial support for the Welsh Football Leagues and any correspondence that includes Government expectations for the distribution of funds, between February 2020 up to and including 27th January 2021. Our response The relevant and available information you requested is enclosed within Annexes A and B. Much of the discussions between Welsh Government and stakeholders were focussed on how the funding would be allocated amongst the various sports via the national governing bodies, rather than how funding would be allocated within a specific sport pot.

  • Club Licensing Benchmarking Report
    The European Club Footballing Landscape Club Licensing Benchmarking Report Financial Year 2018 Club Licensing Benchmarking Report: Financial Year 2018 Club Licensing Benchmarking Report: Financial Year 2018 Foreword Welcome to the eleventh edition of the UEFA Club Licensing Benchmarking Report, which again focuses on football finances but also other off-the-field trends in the European football ecosystem. This year UEFA presented its new strategy, Together for the Future of Football, a blueprint for future-proofing UEFA and European football. One of the strategy’s key policies of optimising intelligence and deepening knowledge for better decision-making chimes perfectly with this report. The benchmarking report’s thorough analysis of the finances and more of more than 700 top-division clubs provides a hugely valuable appreciation of the successes of and challenges facing European club football; essential information for future decision- making. The headline figure is a second successive year of overall profitability for European top-division clubs. As financial performance has improved, the clubs’ financial position has become significantly healthier, with club net assets increasing from less than €2 billion to more than €9 billion in the space of a decade, a testament to the success of UEFA’s Financial Fair Play regulations, the stable European football ecosystem and sustained and sensible investment. Equally encouraging is the revelation in the report’s new section on training infrastructure that almost 80% of clubs have invested in training facility improvements in the past five years. It is also welcome to see the report widen its scope to include women’s football this year.
