Hopefully common sense trumps expensive dreams. Sooner rather than later I think Merthyr will be playing in the Welsh system as they don't have the critical mass to play in the English pyramid like Cewnty, Jacks, Wrexham and ourselves.
Slightly OT, why do Colwyn Bay choose to play in the English system considering they have rivals (Conwy, Rhyl and Prestatyn) right on their doorstep?
