Cymu Alliance Guide 2017-18

This is an unofficial guide to the Cymru Alliance. All photos are my own (of which some are a few years old and may not reflect the ground now). Please let me know of any inaccuracies or missing details.

The Cymru Alliance has been going 27 seasons. It is the northern section of second tier football in Wales. Welsh Second Division North (or Championship North if you’re under 30). The other second division is The Welsh Football League, based mostly on the south coast. The early regionalisation is due to the difficult geography of Wales combined with the size of the country and clubs. It’s not feasible to expect (say) Flint Town United to travel down to the likes of Haverfordwest County on a regular basis.

The Airfield in pictures

There was no dancing in the streets of Airbus last night (Friday) as the Wingmakers spurned the opportunity to cause an upset against 10 man Bangor. This was my first Welsh Premier match, and after a great game at an interesting venue, I feel my addiction to grounds veering West to the Principality. There are nine Welsh Premier teams that I can get to in less than two hours by car, so I’m hoping to slope off after work on a few more Fridays before the season is out!
