Barry Town fans last night learnt the full extent of the Welsh Champions financial problems at a meeting last night.

The most worrying news was that the club needs to raise £100k to see it through this month as players and staff have not been paid for over two months.

Following the departure of controversial chairman, John Fashanu the Dragons have lost several key first team players and look likely to suffer further departures in the coming days. 

Club director Dr. Liz Davies is set to meet the players today to explain the club's position. He last night informed the fans the next few weeks are crucial to the survival of the club and has called an EGM for 1st September. 

Barry Town Supporters' Club chairman, Tim Johnson, has set a target of raising £20,000 by the end of this week to help save the club. The defending champions kick off the new season with a tricky home game against Aberystwyth on Friday evening.
