Not sure if this is the right thread but I picked up a book from a neighbours wall the other day as I hate seeing books going to waste, someone here may want it...

Bangor City (blue) beat Caenarfon Town at the Oval in 2006. Bangor have gone on to be a mainstay of the Welsh Premier League whilst the "Cofis" (Canaries) have crashed down three leagues- but a promotion last term means they are slowly on the way back.
Both these teams, plus Rhyl and Newtown, were respected and competitive mainstays of the NPL in the 70s and 80s, before being forced at gunpoint back into the Welsh system by the FAW when the original League of Wales was formed in the 90s.
Rhyl were also in the Cheshire County League believe it or not, they played the team based in the town I grew up, Middlewich Athletic, on a few occasions.

yeah, in the 50s and 60s, before becoming part of the NPL when that was established (end of the 60s I think).
By the end of the 80s Bangor and Caenarfon were stronger sides with bigger supports (Rhyl very much being part of the Scouse hinterland of support).

Nah, they were in the Cheshire County league up until the early 80's when they went into the NW counties league.

Somerton Park, Newport in 1980. County were on the point of winning promotion to Division 3, and winning the Welsh Cup, in their best season since 1938/39.
When Somerton disappeared in 1993, with the re-formed Newport AFC playing in Gloucestershire, few imagined the club would ever be back in the league...but twenty years on, the doubters were proven wrong.
Really like that one.

Eastville Stadium, field of dreams. South Stand on the left, North Stand on the right. Tote End straight ahead and the camera sits on the Muller Road End. Greyhound racing track round the outside of the pitch. The Tote End roof was home to the betting totaliser clocks (hence the name) and also home to Rovers' most fearsome and vocal fans. You'll still see Tote graffiti around the city now, hear Tote chants at games, especially in that section of the Blackthorn End where the old veterans gather.
Tote End up close, sometime in the 1970s I think.
And here's a shot of the Tote End showing how the roof overhung it.
All gone now
But you can get some lovely flat pack furniture now though.
Or have a break down next to the meatballs, depending on how you feel about IKEA.

Blyth Spartans (stripes) play Wrexham in the FA Cup fifth round in 1978. Spartans lost the replay of the tie 1-2 at St. James Park, in front of a crowd of 42,000. Had they won, they would have played a quarter final against Arsenal.
No non league side has ever been beyond the fifth round of the FA Cup in modern times.
