Yes this
All the clubs playing in England like Merthyr, Oswestry Town, Rhyl, Colwyn Bay were really shat on. Where they all now? Gone into oblivion mainly.
Yes the big 4 as it were couldn’t play in welsh cup but at least the league they were playing in was competitive-We were the best of the 4 at the time but how things have changed.
