Affordable Archive: Changes in the Welsh Premier

In July 2019 we looked at the restructuring of the game in Wales as the two feeder leagues into the Cymru Premier came under the control of the FAW.

I wrote at the time that the top league 'has consistently fared well on affordability in surveys such as the BBC's Price of Football' and I think that remains the case seven years on as the game in Wales prepares for an even bigger change.

The number of clubs in the top-flight has increased from 12 to 16 as part of an FAW push to increase interest, revenues and attendances.

From a spectator point of view the big changes is a move to have matches played mostly on a Friday night, starting on 31 July.
