Trust bid for funding successful

The Trust is happy to confirm that it has successfully gained a grant of £3,442.75 from the Communities First Trust Fund to provide funding for a Mobile Exhibition celebrating the heritage of football in the borough of Merthyr Tydfil.

The project now turns towards the design phase of the mobile information boards, the subjects ranging from the Football League years to the current fight for the Club's existence.
The Trust will be setting up a heritage sub-group to drive the project forward, if anyone has any memorabilia, photographs or just ideas then please contact Mark Evans via 07774 708063.

The information boards will provide a focal point for a mobile exhibition that will take the message of Merthyr Tydfil FC into our local communities.

Our thanks go to everyone in the Community Team plus our colleagues in the Park & Town Ward Partnership Board.

Season Ticket offer for the Martyrs

Supporters of Football League clubs will get a reduced entry to Merthyr home matches if they produce their season ticket at Penydarren Park upon arrival at the turnstiles.

A special £5.00 fee is available to fans wishing to support the Martyrs in our fight to survive, a saving of £3.00.

The Supporters Trust is continuing to seek avenues to take the Club out of Administration and needs the South Wales football community to rally round to keep semi-professional football alive in the Valleys area.

Easter Monday has been confirmed as the date for the annual Come Back To Merthyr Day. Both new and former supporters will be welcomed to Penydarren Park for the visit of Stourbridge, it will also be the day for the Former Players Reunion so the stars of yore will also be available to relive the glory days of the Martyrs.
