God Almighty that must buy a few pies.

But seriously where will they end up now, are they the first Welsh Premier League side to be wound up.

Wasn't Barry town 1st welsh premier side to go this way?

I thought Barry Town went into voluntary adminstration but Neath FC have been would up which I believe means the court appointed receiver must liqudate assests to pay it's creditors.

I believe the club is gone but I may be wrong.

Thats what they do down that way.
Go into admin and start again, cheats.

Used to watch Carmarthen Town a bit in the LoW/WPL. Difficult to see where the league goes from here. Big wages, and small crowds. Pity. Might try to catch a game or two next season, when there is no clash with CCFC

How the f**k can anyone news like this?

The financial state of the world at the moment is a joke.

Football is just a sport, people have lost their income due to things like this.

And as Cardiff fans, who the f**k are we to laugh or mock another teams financial plight.

Some people have very short memories, and we are still in trouble.

f*cking shameful.

sad day to see any welsh club go to the wall tbh

Agree

As far as I'm aware, the club has been dissolved and the club is being stripped of it's assets... Which it doesn't have any. Lee Trundle is currently the only full time player worth anything on the team sheet, and the ground is owned by Neath RFC. Their training ground is owned by Neath Port Talbot council. The total amount debt is a reported £69,000... Says a lot for the state of Welsh League football at the moment that the FAW couldn't step in and help them out...

Neath FC is no more.

Shame to see any club go tits up, especially a welsh one, but if its true they were paying fat trundle £2.500 a week when only getting crowds of 100odd, then you have to question the sanity of whoevers running the club.

Bit touchy mate I thought I was mocking that ex jack Trundle but obviously that passed you by.

It never ceases to amaze me how some posters immediately react but insulting other posters, but this is an internet forum so all sorts of opinions and attitudes are on view.

I have made over 2500 posts on this forum and not one has ever been described as f*****g shameful, until you.

Castle I don't care for Trundle, he showed the type of person he was at the LDV cup final( A fkn tool).
But what do you expect from an uneducated fat scouser living in Swansea? BUT I THOUGHT MOST CARDIFF FANS WERE BETTER THAN THIS,WHY SINK TO HIS LEVEL?

But the main point is how can any Cardiff mock another side going out of buisness ?
That's f*cking shameful.

In my opinion the WPL must become a summer league like the Irish league

I feel sorry for the fans, all 120 of them.....but some clubs DO deserve to go out of business, like Neath FC.

I'm sorry but Neath have nobody else to blame bar themselves! They gambled on massive wages that they could never sustain in the hope that people like Trumdle would draw in massive crowds. It was a ridiculous gamble and to run any business like that is criminal. Feel some sympathy towards what little fans they have but then they clearly never backed their team in numbers so what did they expect.

No sympathy for people who waste money

The people saying Neath deserve it... massive irony bypass or what?! How much debt are CCFC in? How much money has been 'wasted' chasing the dream? No matter how few supporters they had, they still had supporters, to whom that club meant a massive amount. Fair play to those who posted here with some degree of sympathy. A football club is an institution, and part of the fabric of its community. That things have gone this way is a tragedy, frankly.

Seriously you're making comments about deserving this?
Fucktards such as yourself need to realise our current climate,how much do we and have we paid out in wages in recent seasons?
We are living well above our means and should Tan and his cronies walk away we will be wound up in days if not hours.

Honestly some people on this forum have absolutely no idea as to the history of this club, how many times have we been on the brink and you still take it for granted.

RIP FC Neath.
Hope you raise again,Hope we don't follow you...

Neath FC were only formed in 2005 after two clubs Neath FC and Skewen Athletic merged in the hope of making a better fist of making the Welsh Premier League.

After starting in the Welsh League the club was promoted to the Welsh Premier League in after previously being denied entry because their ground was not to the required standard. Having spent the money on their ground they entered the WPL but after only 2 seasons they moved ground to share Neath RFC ground at the Gnoll.

1 year later the club announced plans to go "Fulltime" and set out to challenge for the WPL title by making "Big" signings like Christian O'Leary and Lee Trundle even though the club clearly didn't have the revenue to finance such moves. The club has played in a Europa League playoff game which attracted the clubs record crowd of 1,000 for the home game at the Gnoll, but with an average attendance less than 500 it was never going last as a business.

It was no surprise that at the end of last season both the FAW and UEFA refused the club both domestic and Uefa licences to compete because of the unsustainable basis of the business.

Cardiff are a club in heavy debt there is no doubt about that but in my opinion to compare our position, a club with £20m annual income to Neath is a poor one.

Neath FC have a 7 year history and are a club created with the intention of competing in the WPL but sadly tried to run before it could walk by targeting fulltime basis with the aim of reaching UEFA competition.

An experiment in fast tracking success without having solid foundations that has ended in tears, but no great history has been lost as the club will reform probably in the Welsh League and compete at a level where it will be sustainable.

A sad tale of big ideas and small pockets.
