Should we get a First Minister's residence?

Scotland has Bute House, the Prime Minister has 10 Downing Street, and we have Rhun ap Iorwerth forgetting his flat keys and checking into a Premier Inn.

So, should we invest in a "First Minister's Residence"?

I'd say yes.

I've attached a picture of Mansion House, Cardiff, as it's the most suitable candidate for a Residence.

There's room for a proper office, meeting room, workspaces and for the First Minister to live.

This would also allow the Welsh Gov to sell Cathays Park II, keeping the older Cathays Park I for ministers, and Cabinet Meetings could take place in the Mansion House dining room.

What do you think?​​

Should the NFL's UK games change?

I feel like focusing on one city - London - is detrimental.

Why not host 4 games in 4 different cities - Cardiff, London, Manchester and Glasgow?

Little pre-emptive from Sky News...

We won't know if Rhun is First Minister until Tuesday at least, and there's technically no guarantee that he will be First Minister.

Always do your research on the way the Senedd works, Sky!

Earlier, in the discussion ​Is Welsh football insanely undervalued?, I received encouragement to build a football club in East Cardiff.

We'll need to find investment and the like.

Merely conceptual, but should we try it?

Gives us something to do during the World Cup...

This is the first election I've ever been able to vote in.

I'm pretty sure that I know my vote, but I'd like to hear other people's reasoning in case I've missed something.

So - who are you voting for and why?​

EDIT: I'm decided on Plaid now - I've been thinking about voting for them for a while, and this has confirmed it for me :)

The season is over, and what a season it was.

We have a new name on the Welsh Cup - Caernarfon Town.

Ieuan Owen scored an incredible brace to give Barry Town the League Cup.

It was the final Cymru Premier season with 12 teams - Bala and Llanelli being the teams who went down.​

Bangor 1876 were promoted to the Cymru North (had to say it or u/City-1876 would start a thread about it)

The New Saints will represent Wales in the UEFA Champions League, with Caernarfon Town, Connah’s Quay Nomads and Penybont representing us in the UEFA Conference League.

The final Cymru Premier table looked like this:

CHAMPIONSHIP CONFERENCE

Pos Team Points
1 (C) The New Saints 80
2 Connah's Quay Nomads 58
3 Barry Town United 47
4 Colwyn Bay 46
5 Penybont 46
6 Caernarfon Town 45

PLAY-OFF CONFERENCE

Pos Team Points
7 Haverfordwest County 50
8 Briton Ferry Llansawel 45
9 Cardiff Met 36
10 Flint Town United 35
11 (R) Bala Town 32
12 (R) Llanelli Town 13

So, what did you think of the season? Let us know below!

When the fixture list is released next season, we should pick a random game, hype it up, and try and make it the most attended game of the season.

Probably impossible.

I'm totally not trying to keep retention during the off-season, I promise...

Came across the above video on YouTube, published May 18, 2025.

Why are we wrapping our season up 2 weeks earlier than normal?

The first (and last) radio leader's debate in Wales, as well as the only English-language debate to be networked across the entire UK, took place yesterday.

Have you heard it? What did you think?
