We are pleased to announce our senior sides will play competitive home games in Ynysangharad War Memorial Park from the start of the 2020/21 season. The first team will be based at the existing football ground in the park, while our new second team will play home matches on the outfield of the park’s cricket pitch.
The move from the Maritime 3G pitch to Ynysangharad Park fulfils one of the club’s ambitions when we formed two years ago, to return a senior football team representing the town to this iconic ground.
The senior sides follow our under 14s boys side who made their own switch to Ynysangharad Park for the 2019/20 season.
The following statement was made on behalf of the club’s committee:
“This is wonderful news for the club and a great opportunity for our senior players to now join the under 15s (from next season) in playing in Ynysangharad Park, which is the spiritual home of local football in Pontypridd.
As well as boasting fantastic facilities that we hope will inspire our players to better performances on the pitch, it means our club is now based in the heart of the town on home matchdays. We believe this will provide the club with opportunities for more visibility, to offer a better matchday experience to existing and new fans, to connect more with our community and to increase our sponsor partnerships. On the pitch itself our players and coaches will continue to work to provide teams that represent our town well.
The club committee would like to express our thanks to Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council for their assistance in completing the move to Ynysangharad War Memorial Park and for their support since our formation two years ago.”
