It was the only way that Tosh scored so many goals for us.Quote:

Without wishing to take anything away from Bala they now appear to play the final at a University playing field. A bit of a comedown from the National Stadium.
some great european nights followed winning it, even when Barry town beat us in the final, it was still entertainingQuote:

That or raise the prices of bookings and sending offs for the parks teams.
Couldn't have that!
Great to see Barry back in the top league and a local derby against Cardiff Met next season.Quote:

Besides, if us or Swansea were to win it, we'd be more likely to at least reach the group stages in Europe and then increase the coefficient of Welsh clubs
We coudn't enter Europe through it without giving up the chance to enter through the English league system. Maybe unlikely that we'll qualify, but we have come within a whisker of it twice in the last decade.Quote:

Would we prefer to be in the Welsh Cup than the FA Cup?
The state the FA Cup and League Cup are in at the moment, I would definitely take a Welsh Cup instead.Quote:
