Fantastic support and showing how fully engaging with local community can boost interest and attendance.
It's quite a tasty local derby. Bangor just equalised.
enjoyed the first half a decent derby game
noticed ramsey in goals for caernarfon used to be involved in the Wales futsal set up too
Yep very tasty! No love lost certainly.Quote:

I'm almost certain it was.
That was a very good finish from a centre back. Flares on the pitch now, it's all happening. This could get quite lively.
Yes it wasQuote:

Watching Wimbledon West Ham.
Wimbledon 3-0 up.
You're missing out. Tasty local derby, good football and big crowd....it's not South London I'm talking about.Quote:

I couldn't help but notice the primitive look of some of the fans in North Wales, they looked different, wide eyed in excitement. Like this was the best thing to ever happen to their small towns. I found it endearing.
we always have a debate on the standard of the welsh prem every year and to me it's league 2 / conference standard
anyone else agree ?
Lower.Quote:

I think he was "against modern football". If there's anything typifying modern football, isn't it someone moving to a country and suddenly choosing to avidly support one of the "Top 4"?Quote:

Yes. 2486 was the official attendance.Quote:

Thats the equivalent size of say fairwater v dinas powys.
Thats some percentage at the game and you could see they were wound up for it.
Great stuff.
Wales C were beaten by England C but not by that much. I'd say the WPL was conference standard, probably not promotion chasing, and improving.Quote:

The rest a couple of divisions below. At least.
Same level as Merthyr although l think Merthyr would win Welsh premQuote:

Was a long article written by a Merthyr fan as to why they should.
Crowds would likely go up aswell, a game v Barry would probably get over a thousand I’d say.

Watch Merthyr every so often. Although the question is being asked the appetite for trying to join the Welsh League doesn't appear to be there. The majority of supporters/trust owners are happy where they are.Quote:

Plus you look at what they have done to teams like Bangor who they relegated after they came 2nd last year and I doubt Merthyr would expect many favours if they were to look to join up.
Lots of crowd trouble, heard they gave 1,200 tickets to away fans, Saturday night kick off was madness, fighting in the streets even before the game, there was trouble between these two just a few years ago with flares and pitch invasions, there needs to be better planning if they meet again [if being the operative word the state that famous old club Bangor City are in - I hope they get over their problems and wish them all the best in the future].
