Transfer targets
do we have any transfer targets to bolster our small squad? have we put 7 days in for anyone...rumour has it gareth hughes ? do we want him back? also heard he asked if tywyn wanted him !!! if true, why would he leave barmouth to play in this league against us?!?!?! doesnt make sense!!

Firstly, there is no transfer window, but a March end deadline. Secondly, would be surprised,and disappoined, if T/B had been approached by the player. Thirdly, he cannot be transferred to any other club, other than us, as a player can only play for two clubs in a season. Finally, the manager decides whether a 7-day notice of approach is made for a player.

firstly, i know there is no transfer windo but its what the pro`s are having at the moment so its nice to call jan a tranfer window!!!!! secondly, i agree strongly!!! and thirdly, i thought he never played for us in an official match ? i thought you could sign for 3 but only play for 2 ?! and finally.... Gaffa are we signing anyone ? i dont want to keep going back to Barmouth FC but with things there at the moment with Craig Paps leaving would it be worth 7 days on Carl Ryan or more experienced defenders math hunter or Stu Pilling ?! there reserves dont have many games left and i hear Iolo doesnt favour the older players?!!!!

Firstly, like the logic! Also, you are quite correct - I had forgotten that the said person had not kicked a ball in anger for us! You can sign for three, but only play for two. Another point is, a second approach (assuming there is a first!) to the same club can only be made after a further 21 days and with end of transfers looming....!

Nothing received. Must also add that David is one of the most loyal players at the club.

Inspected at 11am and worse than it has been for a while. Inspection arranged for 10am, but not optimistic - need it dry for any chance.

What are the chances of the game being called off tomorrow? Has anyone seen the pitch today?

Not just a pretty face, eh? Not uncommon at this time of the year - last season was even worse.

Appeal
Good news - appeal upheld. CTAL now have 14 days to appeal to the FAW.
Editor
12 / 01 / 2012
will they?
fan
13 / 01 / 2012
The committee represent the clubs of the CTAL. It is not in the interests of the clubs to appeal, however it was not in the interests of the clubs to find us guilty in the first place! I have had enough, therefore drawing a line under it and moving on would be a weight off my mind.

builth game
whats the chance of the game being on?
fan
05 / 01 / 2012
Having checked forecast I would say a fairly good chance of the game being on. I will be down at pitch around 2pm and provide update tomorrow evening.
Editor

spot on!

Was down at lunchtime and very soft, with some surface water on the touchline. Apart from a couple of yards ON the line, the remainder of the pitch was playable. This rain we are having now is heavier than forecast, but still positive that tomorrow`s game will go ahead. I will inspect at around 8.30am tomorrow if Under 14s game at Bro Enlli is on, otherwise will be 10am!!
Editor
06 / 01 / 2012
Me and Mark Bridge are going down in the morning (8.30-9am)with a pump to get that water off the touchline, we will then fork some other areas of the pitch that need attention, I would be grateful to any players not doing anything to come down and see if they can help in any way, especially those who moan that games get called off all the time.

Touchlines to be brought in if need be. Either way, game will go ahead. Thanks

transfers
any transfer targets? anyone goin?
fan
29 / 12 / 2011
Not sure whether you questions are motivated by the January transfer window? In the SPAR League there is no transfer window, therefore players can be signed/transferred throughout the season - up until the mid-March deadlines. If not, I have no news of any comings or goings!

Was down at lunchtime and touch-and-go then, also called at 5pm (torch and full beam) and water over majority of surface. Hope to inspect with referee around 9.30am (latest 10.30am), but will need dry night with a strong, warm wind to be playable!
Editor
30 / 12 / 2011
Thought the manager stated 1 of players mentioned would never play 4 club again while he was manager?

30 / 12 / 2011
None of the players mentioned hear have contacted me to say they want to play for Dolgellau again, I would consider either player very carefully as every game this season I have not had a "full first team squad" to choose from, due to injuries, never known it to be so bad here

Boxing day
Chances of the game being on?
Fan

Marginal, but unplayable an hour ago. Weather forecast not good this evening and tomorrow afternoon. Difficult to predict, sorry!! Will try and find some time to put sand down pitch side of the touchline (usual area). Seems worse than usual from there to the parking area (where the gravel is).
Editor
24 / 12 / 2011
Inspected the pitch at 6pm (car lights and torch!!) and not playable. Forecast is light rain from around 3am until tomorrow evening and need drying weather. Inspection at 10.30am tomorrow.

Disiplinary result/outcome,any news?
The Club (Reserves) were fined £200 (£50 per game) and 12 points deducted, no games to be replayed. Disappointed with the outcome, but not surprised. The club will appeal to the Central Wales FA.
Editor
22 / 12 / 2011
The League meeting was last night, but have heard nothing! This could drag on, as I see the CTAL finding us guilty as one or two of the committee will not want to lose face. The club will then have to decide whether to appeal, for which there are good grounds, especially following some new evidence!
Editor

Chairman and Secretary attended hearing and, following lengthy debate, a stalemate was reached! CTAL now seeking guidance from FAW before announcing decision.

Do you mean the comments or the outcome? Either way, it is a long story. Please either contact me directly or ask an official of the club!
Editor

What dose this mean
Fan
17 / 11 / 2011
Surprisingly, no news, especially as there was a need to resolve this sooner rather than later. We have some more information that will strengthen our case even more, but it will depend on the decision as to whether it is required.
Editor

So Far.....
Couldn`t agree more. As an aside; and an issue close to my heart; the FAW will be giving £1000 to the club with the best disciplinary records in each of SPAR Divisions (towards equipment and/or ground improvements). Best means the FEWEST number of `points` (caution and dismissals)!!!

Some History
[1930] 1930 November. Dolgellau FC beat Aberdovery 6-5 in the Cambrian Coast Amateur League. Weather was a strong factor in the result with driving rain and slippery conditions.The return fixture two weeks later saw Dolgellau beaten 10-2, with conditions again wet and slippery. Sandwiched between these games was a 2-1 defeat at Machynlleth. Dolgellau`s team then was (5-3-2); T. Parry; E Evans, H.P. Harris; R.W Parry, Archie Jones, E. Brown; H.P. Evans, I Jones, R.L. Roberts, R.G. Lewis, Joe Roberts

Multi purpose-All weather pitch
Seen as this was brought up in another topic,I do feel it`s high time we had one of the above in the town,It would not only benefit the Dolgellau Football but all other sporting activities in the town. Sooner or later someone is going to get hurt in that cage,some of the juniors parent`s voiced their concerns last year,I know it`s all we`ve got,now`s the time to push for something better,Blaenau,Port,Tywyn and Bala all have one. Where we start is open to suggestions??

05 / 11 / 2009
As stated under another topic, lobby the local/county Councillors! Another option is to start a fund, bearing in mind that a location will have to be identified, e.g., school hockey pitch or merely re-surfacing the cage??
Editor
05 / 11 / 2009
I think if it is to be of benefit to all it has to be a new facility as the cage is to small for adult training anyway,the hockey pitch would be an idea,I don`t think it get`s that much use???
Dai Lloyd

Following a near injury to one of the Under 11s in the cage last Wednesday due to the slippery surface when damp, the incident has been reported by the club to Gwynedd County Council. No feedback to date.
