This has been known for some time, I just wasnt allowed to say anything.
Its not going to be the same, but it will still be a people club..
I really feel for the week in week out people

Nearer for me but a club looses its identity if it moves away from its roots. If they can do what Newport did (albeit for different reasons) then there is hope. Surely there are other options in the Merthyr area.

I was looking forward to a few visits to Pendaryn next season. I will pop along and see them at Taffs Well but will the pitch take all that extra football as it is not the best surface.
