Merthyr Town FC wishes to confirm that the fire at its historic Penydarren Park ground, reported via the BBC, last weekend was confined to a disused part of the main stand and will not impact on our plans to return to our home in the near future.
The Board of the Club which is now registered as a Community Mutual is continuing discussions with the local Council with regard to us returning to Penydarren Park in the near future.
Western League fixtures will remain at Rhiw Dda with our friends at Taffs Well FC however it is hoped that Penydarren Park will once again provide our supporters with a social outlet as we rebuild our famous club.
