Have they changed their handle?
I have been granted a media pass for Penybont vs Santa Coloma, which is amazing (thanks to Penybont)
Are there any questions you would like to ask the players? Let me know!
I'm sorry, but you can't run an entire league in the Friday 19:45 slot.
There's far too much bunching which means TV viewing figures will fall, even if this streaming service launches.
You can rely on the Friday Nights, but you also need to add in your Saturdays and Sundays. Having 4 games on the Friday, 2 on the Saturday and 2 on the Sunday would be perfect.
Wales doesn't adopt UEFA Article 48, so we could even have TELEVISED Saturday 3pm games!

The Football Association of Wales is excited to unveil Cymru Football TV, the new home for Welsh football streaming.
The subscription service will be the only place to watch all matches from the Novira Cymru Premier live, providing greater access to the top-flight of Welsh men’s domestic football than ever before.
Subscribing to the platform will also provide supporters with access to other selected domestic live fixtures, Cymru national team age-group matches and FAW documentaries. Domestic cup draws will be available to watch for free, while more content will be announced in the coming weeks.
The first live matches on Cymru Football TV will be the UEFA Conference League first qualifying round ties involving Caernarfon Town, Connah’s Quay Nomads and Penybont in the week commencing Monday 6 July.
Supporters can purchase a Cymru Football TV season pass for £99.99, or a monthly pass for £12.99. Passes for individual matches can be bought for £8.99.
The FAW is pleased to provide supporters with the option to sign up for a 14-day free trial on the platform, with this offer available to supporters until 23:59 BST on Sunday 12 July – allowing free access to selected European fixtures, Cymru Cup matches and action from the men’s Welsh Cup First Qualifying Round.
In addition to Cymru Football TV, a new free-to-air broadcast deal for the Novira Cymru Premier will be announced in due course.
Jack Sharp, FAW Head of Domestic Leagues, commented: “The launch of Cymru Football TV represents a significant step forward for the future of the Cymru Premier and our wider domestic competitions.
“Moving from 34 broadcasted matches per season to coverage of every Cymru Premier fixture fundamentally transforms the ability of the FAW and its clubs to expand their reach, visibility, and engagement. This will be complemented by the strongest ever free-to-air offering in the history of Welsh football, details of which will be announced shortly.
“As structural changes are introduced across the Cymru Premier, it remains essential that supporters continue to have access to their clubs. While the platform is launching with modest beginnings, its long-term development will be guided by audience growth and supporter feedback, with increased reinvestment as the platform succeeds. I am also pleased to highlight that a significant redistribution model is built into the platform, ensuring that clubs directly benefit from their own supporters buying subscription packages.
“Considerable work and investment from the FAW has gone into delivering this project, while I would like to thank the team at Two Circles for their support throughout the process. We hope the platform will provide both long-standing and new supporters with a central hub for domestic football as the only place to watch all Cymru Premier matches live. In time, the platform will also enable us to assess and enhance coverage across our other competitions which we will be trialling this season.”
Edit
It's worth noting that teams are getting 70% of the fees. When signing up, you apparently select your team, and 70% of your subscription fee will go to your club
With the new streaming platform and Friday-Night Football being created, I believe there's now a significant gap in the market - a Soccer Saturday or Final Score style programme.
I believe this would be best created on YouTube, with the ability for those without a CymruFootball subscription to browse the league, and also as an easy way for those in the stadiums to check up on the results.
So, should we look to make this?

How many mistakes i make 6?
I have never attended a game with a Cymru Leagues team in....
Until now!
I'm looking forward to Penybont vs Santa Coloma next Thursday, which will (shock horror) be my first ever in-person football match.
I know this may seem... weird, but at least I'm going?
Any tips for the game?

The use of AI is awful.
The FAW is a football association. They had plenty of money to splash on a new logo, but you seriously expect me to believe that they couldn't hire one or two animators or mock-up artists to do this?
This is not a new phenomenon for the league. Image 3 shows a mock from Connah's Quay Nomads' new stadium plan, which is very clearly generated through the use of AI. Again, they hired an architecture firm, but AI for the images? Seriously?
Am I overreacting, or is this frustrating?
