Llanelli FC wound up at High Court

Llanelli FC wound up at High Court over tax debts, another welsh team bites the dust it seems, they owe 21k in unpayed tax

Shame, a decent team as well. The FAW need to go back to the drawing board with the League of Wales. It's standing still if not going backwards.

Summer football is the way forward, these clubs might start to attract supporters from Swansea and Cardiff that way.

What do the likes of Neath and Llanelli expect when they are paying silly wages when they have no fan base.

You cant go paying players £600-£1000 a week at that level.

Crazy.

Apparently Neath were paying a lot more than that even? As you say, crazy!

Yeah my figures were based more on some players I know played for Llanelli.

I heard when Trundle was with Neath he was on £2.5k a week

Good shout

League of Wales is always going to fail when the top 5 populated places field teams in the English league, sadly this is a fact. Without Merthyr, Newport, Wrexham, Cardiff and Swansea it's never going to thrive. They should have got the exiled clubs in to the league when it was first formed (Thank god they didn't).

Many are questioning whether the league can continue as rumours are circulating that the bigger clubs with big support such as Rhyl and Bangor are going to force a way through into England.

I mentioned that if ever there was a new club set up then the welsh league is where to go because it will have to become a summer league

I know it's never going to happen but wish all the English league Welsh sides could field reserve/youth teams in the WPL. Would definitely add to it and I'd definitely support a CCFC team in there

I'd support a REAL cardiff football club immediately but the welsh league is a cul-de-sac.

Ireland are now seeing the positives of their move both on and off the field. Even Shamrock Rovers managed to get into the Europa group stages

I seem to recall that when Sam Hammam was in charge, he wanted something along those lines for our club, but this was refused by the WFA???

The issue is that reserve teams from Cardiff and Swansea and even Wrexham and Newport would walk the league every year. It would cause most the old teams in the league to drop out and it would become more souless than it actually is. I believe all welsh league sides should move to the English leagues and we can then move on.

You get more money for finishing bottom of the blue square North/South than you do for winning the WPL (Excluding European revenues).

I remember that rick but i think it was just for a 2nd string to get games more than anything and a route to european football most of all im sure it would of added on the other teams gates so might have been worth it for the league of wales teams and us, jacks, wrexham at the time.

Your right, & it was the route into European football that really appealed to Sam, if i remember correctly.

Bangor City could more than hold their own in the Conference. In fact, I think that they were founder members.

When there is no clash with CCFC, I sometimes watch Carmarthen Town. The WPL/LOW seems to be going backwards. Sad, because a lot of good football people work very hard for the club, as do people in other clubs. Difficult to see where the league goes from here. Hope that it keeps going, or it could have negative implications for the Wales national team.

Colony Bay play in the English pyramid too

Bangor City and Rhyl have huge support that would only grow if they were allowed to cross the border. I can't say I have watched much WPL football as we don't have a team playing in Cardiff. However, watch the Bluebirds of the west (Havefordwest) on occasion as I have a caravan down that way. Hope things get better but they are fighting a losing battle.

Yes thats what it was about really rick but i thought it could have been a decent idea as the bench boys/youngsters would get game time then even if we only had a few back then, thank f**k for a under 21 side now

I do remember a few humiliations for Cardiff, Swansea & Wrexham in the old FAW Premier Cup which suggests it may not be as one sided as you think. Perhaps our reserves would dominate but maybe not our u18s if we played them?

They should've rebranded...

I don't think the FAW cup was ever taken that seriously by Cardiff City FC,,,,for the one simple reason that we couldn't qualify for Europe by winning it!

Never mind trying to get a reserve team in the welsh league, we could do what the Watford owners are doing and BUY a Welsh league team.

Loan them a tonne of players and get them into Europe.

Now a question can a Welsh league team loan a load of players from an English league team or is there som sort of unwritten agreement between the UK associations?

I doubt they would have made a killing tbh if they did

But we wouldn't take WPL that seriously either...we'd play our youth.

I'd go for Grange Quins as they play at the athletic stadium, we'd have to get them up through 3 divisions but at least they have a decent enough ground that's nearby. Otherwise perhaps Taffs Well that are just about to enter the Premier League.
