cidered abroad Posted June 21, 2019 Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 18 minutes ago, phantom said: About 7th May? Am sure that was the day we first met Correct. 1926-27 season. Neither Aberdare or Merthyr lasted much longer as league clubs. My Dad used to watch Aberdare if he had any spare cash, which in the late 1920's in the Rhondda, was hardly ever.

Malago Posted June 21, 2019 Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 It's either 1922 or 1927. Having cross referenced City Div 3 South champions and Newcastle League 1 champs, it's 1927. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sticks 1969 Posted June 21, 2019 Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 With lower league teams struggling with financial problems I wonder if the north south split will ever come back? less travel, more local game , surly for teams like Plymouth.exeter would be a good idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
