I am a director at Aberystwyth Town FC so know a lot about the WPL and wage bills.
I know that two clubs that finished in the bottom half of the league last season pay between £8000-£10000 per week on wages for players so are looking around £475000 per season plus then you have managers/coaches wages to pay.
I’m big mates with TNS chairman Mike H and due to their success and qualifying for Europe every year they are nearly self funding these days due to the money gained from playing in Champ lge qualification rounds.
I believe Merthyr would benefit from playing in WPL and certainly make more money if they finish in the top 3.
