Summer Footy? I am a traditionalist so no summer football for me. Although I can see the "fors" better ground conditions etc. The "minuses" ie Some clubs have dual purposes (cricket etc) difficult to overcome.
The Way Forward Better COMMUNICATION!! It starts right at the top from the FAW. We all know Wales is not the wealthiest, biggest or best Footballing Country, however that does not detract from the policies and procedures that need to be followed to ensure that ALL decisions taken are correct and right for the good of Welsh Football. I believe that clubs pay only lip service to the FAW and should stand up for themselves more often - Phew I almost sounded like Dwight Fry then!!
