@toprefgeorge @TheHoofballPod @FAWales @NoelMooney13 Some league and association administrators are receiving sizeable honorariums. Trim those, and suddenly there’s far less need to raise funds just to cover end of season payouts.
Maybe then there’d be a clearer understanding of the real pressures facing clubs and the volunteers.
English

@toprefgeorge @TheHoofballPod @FAWales @NoelMooney13 We all know £2 per player goes to leagues, so why not remove it and ease the burden on participants?
Leagues have significant reserves and generate income through fines during the season. Meanwhile, clubs are still relying on volunteers, yet face increasing financial pressure.
English

So 100% increase in registration fees eh @FAWales ?
Wow
English

@toprefgeorge @TheHoofballPod @FAWales @NoelMooney13 Why are some leagues claiming non-profit status while holding large reserves and paying substantial honorariums for admin roles that club volunteers handle for free?
Before increasing costs for participants, maybe it’s time to review how much funding is going to leagues.
English

@TheHoofballPod @FAWales When you consider 5pd reg fee junior player - 2pd of that goes back to the league junior plays in- 3pd is a 12 month insurance fee.
Senior 2pd back to league 8pd insurance fee .
Costs are very cheap and not sustainable by @FAWales @NoelMooney13 .
English

@SouthWalesFA @RhydAFC If it did, and it’s to ensure league completion by April 30 for Tier 6 promotion, that’s a fair reason
Though it would be prudent to explore cups restarting and still being played throughout May.
Let’s cut out the behind closed doors decisions and be open.
2/2
English

@SouthWalesFA @RhydAFC Unsure what needs investigating here
let’s have transparent conversations.
Has the SWFA advised the TERV League to suspend its cup competitions? It either happened or it didn’t.

English

@SouthWalesFA can you explain why you have stopped our league from playing a Cup competition. We received the email stating this.
English

@PorthQuinsFC @FAWales Hearing @SouthWalesFA are letting FAW use VAR for the @SWPLInfo play-offs again this season as well. Wasn’t this a one-off last time?
Clubs didn’t enjoy it and grassroots refs miss out so the elite step in.
As long as those at the top are happy, everyone else just accept it.
English

@PorthQuinsFC @FAWales Grassroots is being squeezed out. Decision after decision ignores the people who actually care, with little consultation and zero collaboration.
At this rate, it’s turning into a game for the elite — and that’s not what it should be.
English

@Szpadtsy @FAWales @NoelMooney13 what is your response on this?
This isn’t a very good situation- it would good to hear what’s happened
English

The @FAWales need to take a hard look at themselves. How can they advertise a fully working sensory room for tonight’s game (with the viewing room of the pitch) and then inform us a few hours before kick off this isn’t available due to it ‘being sold to hospitality’. 1/2
English

@NoelMooney13 All sounds positive on paper, and it’s encouraging to see a strategy for improving grassroots facilities, hopefully all LAs buy in. Facilities remain the biggest barrier to growth.
But concerning there’s no mention of match officials. A key stakeholder with no clear plan. ⚽
English

Our focus is on improving grassroots football across @Cymru - the below thread outlines what we are delivering for you 🏴⚽️
✅ About to reach 120,000 registered players this season - highest ever
✅ Grassroots facilities strategy for all 22 local authorities developed

@nigeljbircham @Taffswellfc
How is the pitch looking after last nights women’s game?
I was planning to make the game on Friday but having seen it ripped up against @CAFootballClub and the weather since then I’m wondering if it’ll be on.
English

@superkeeperno1 Not sure what the issue is — I asked a genuine question as I’m clueless why you’ve been out so long.
I’m not local to Baglan so I’m not exactly sure what “the Arms” is, but I’ll be sure to ask you the same when I see you at a game soon 🤷🏻♂️
All the best for the rest of your season.

You knows the drill big boy. Don’t hide behind a fake account. Come up the arms for a chat. Open 24:7

@superkeeperno1 How come you missed so long Stants?

Absolutely gutted to see this post - I’m sure the community will rally to ensure the fantastic people at Aber Valley aren’t beaten but the scum!
Absolutely no shame mind to rob a community football club 🙈
Aber Valley F.C.@aber_valley_fc
Well done to absolute idiots who have just try to ruin our club!!!! @CaerphillyObsvr @FAWales @SWPLInfo
English

@LlangeinorFC Look forward to visiting Llangeinor when they are complete!
English

@andy_gulley @ArdalSouthern Agreed - didn’t appreciate the mobbing behaviour of airport at half time but I do think they had a point regarding the field being awful, that said the referee also folded to their pressure.
If he was able to play to half time safely then why not to the conclusion of the game
English

@SWGroundHopper @ArdalSouthern Airport were never in the game, 2nd to everything and at halftime their bench had a hissy fit with the ref and managed to get the game called off, a game they weren’t interested in playing when they turned up tbh
English


@andy_gulley @ArdalSouthern Seems to be a common thought amongst both teams and spectators.
English

@ArdalSouthern The conditions were no worse than when the game kicked off
English

Cymru Football App broke again!!
@FAWales sort it out
English

@nigeljbircham @Taffswellfc As a neutral, the result means nothing to me. The roll and bounce at half-time were no different to kick-off. It shouldn’t have started. Fans out of pocket, pitch ruined, and both teams left with a mess to sort. Poor decision.
English

@nigeljbircham @Taffswellfc I don’t agree with you often Nigel but on this one you are absolutely spot on. What concerned me was that he played until half time, if the pitch is unplayable or player safety is at risk that it shouldn’t have been forced through to half time.
English

@Taffswellfc v cardiff airport
Referee and officials abandon at half time ….. disgraceful decision it has stopped raining 15mins before yet waits till half time to make a ridiculous decision
