Don't know if that's true but there did seem to be a spike in our crowds in the past when parks football was called off

Barry and Bridgend have very active parks football , I assume its the same in the valleys

There are far more people involved in playing football in South Wales than rugby , that's for sure
Sadly the Vale of Glamorgan league at senior level has shrunk considerably over the last decade. In the early 2000's there probably was 40 plus teams in 4 divisions whereas last year just 24 sides in 2 divisions. Many pubs and social clubs have gone in Barry that used to run sides unfortunately.
