out.... Save grassroots football before it’s killed off once and for all.

There is NO PLACE in football for racism and to hear our players were racially abused at a game yesterday is appalling. We are proud to have any human being as part or playing for our club and will support any action required.

Gutted to hear the passing of top local referee Keith Hammett. He will be sorely missed, legend of a man, absolutely gutted. Our deepest condolences to all his Family and Friends

Every single player around the world should look at these stats & avoid
@realmadriden
like the plague. What an awful way to treat any player let alone the player that single handed won you so my trophies in important games. RM & ZZ should be ashamed of themselves
@SkySportsNews
Love how teams complain about “2nds” players playing for “3rds” when we’ve had 1sts playing against our “2nds” it’s all part of their development 🤦♂️
Players sign on for club not for 1sts 2nds or 3rds
3 Teams 1 Club always have been always will be.
Am I missing something? 💛🖤
Yeeeesssss we did it promoted to Gwent County 2

"Because of what happened in the Euros, and the global viewing it had, it really spurred people on and we hit our target in two days."
Tragic tragic news
RIP Rory
Deepest condolences to all his family, friends and everyone that knew him through football. Such a lovely lad …
The football community are behind you in support

#RipRory
With the increasingly likelihood of the government not increasing the 30 number of Friday and from a testing perspective their will be a hell of a lot more as we gone into cold/flu season. Should we now be requesting a full refund with the likelihood of no season starting in 2020
I’ve seen some things in my time but for a club to message our sponsors on the back of us thanking them to ask if they want to sponsor them instead next season is the LOWEST of the low.
This just proves the morales of the club.
What happened to the code amongst clubs
#desperate
If local lockdowns impact the start of the league season, how many Caerphilly County based would be interested in a friendly cup competition following COVID guidelines? We are happy to organise pending approval. Drop us a message / comment with any interest
Why can’t the

@fmwales
@SeneddWales
They have a rule of 6 in England and can still play, use facilities etc but in Wales we can’t!
IF you have no intention to let us mere non elite adult clubs return then please REFUND us and every club.

Absolute joke that we are still restricted to 30, no changing rooms etc when pubs and restaurants have a road map to open in doors, yet evidence shows exercise and outdoor activities lessen the severity of Covid. We need change NOW
