    Recommendations (north wales)
    Colwyn Bay have just been promoted to our top tier with a great fan base. They recently returned from playing in England. Huge for our pyramid. Good story.
    Caernarfon also a brilliant fan base and great little stadium.
    Other superb grounds
    Nantporth (previously Bangor)
    Denbigh
    Porthmadog
    Blaenau Ffestiniog for the views.

If you feel like exploring North Wales again, I can highly recommend a visit to Conwy Borough FC and Colwyn Bay too. I paid an impromptu visit to both last week and got in both for a good look around. Keep the vids coming!

    The story with Rhyl is that I believe they went into administration (perhaps around Covid time, maybe before). As a result a Phoenix club was created, named CPD Y Rhyl 1879. However, they do still play at the stadium you visited.

    As an American it's interesting to hear the difference in how European sports coaches talk (on camera at least). Most coaches in the US would be very gung-ho with the "we believe we can beat anyone" talk, while the Flint Town United manager was more realistic in assessing their situation and their challenges. It is two very different but interesting approaches.

The scenery around them is just breathtaking, and there's nothing quite like getting ready to watch the game, with the early winter dusting of snow on the hills nearby. Worth a look as well, is Barry Town's enormous stadium!

    I was at Flint way back in October 2009. A couple of years later I saw Colwyn Bay host Bradford (Park Avenue) - not a team they'd be likely to face these days! I also attended a bunch of games at Farrar Road before it became a supermarket and have been to Bastion Gardens in Prestatyn at least twice.
    More recently I've been to see a Welsh Cup tie at Y Felinheli and the last regular season home game for Caernarfon Town season just gone. Both highly recommended, but maybe research how to pronounce the former before visiting! 😜

For the play-off semi we got 650 and for the play-off final we got 1,900. Unreal. Half of the attendance were kids who get in for a £1. It's great to see youngsters cheering on a small local club.
