Very sad about this, they became my adopted team when I moved up here, they were runners up in the old Welsh League in the late seventies.

This is really sad. Not only as a football club, but for the community. 88 years is a long time and it’s awful that it has come to this. Sorry to hear this Bob.Quote:

When you read about things like this (and it happens regularly), you do wonder how much they needed to stay afloat. Ten grand? More? Or maybe less? Any ideas?
Seems like it was a lack of volunteers for things like the Committee and administrative posts that did for them, so it’s probably less than the figure you mention.Quote:

It was a great diving header. Unstoppable.Quote:

we need to see more money filter down from the prem league to grassroots, but saying that the prem teams will say they dont need the grassroot teams, when 6 yr old kids are picked up in academies then thats all they needQuote:
