spfl trust trophy The New Saints (Away, 23rd Sep 2022) Match thread

[TAYZURRI]

 

The New Saints F.C

In early 2006 the club's sponsor, Total Network Solutions, was taken over by British Telecom,as a result of which the sponsorship arrangement lapsed at the end of the 2005–06 season and it became necessary to find a new name for the club. After a trawl for new naming ideas, including an attempt to sell the naming rights on eBay, the name "The New Saints" was agreed upon as appropriate to the history of both of the originally merged clubs: Llansantffraid was always known as "The Saints"; Oswestry had strong connections with Saint Oswald; while the club's name was already abbreviated to "TNS". A new club badge was also developed at the same time, featuring a dragon to represent Llansantffraid and a lion representing Oswestry.

On 10 February 2010, the BBC reported that the New Saints had applied to play home games at Chester City's Deva Stadium in 2010–11, after having been turned down for a grant to help fund the construction of a new 1,000-seat stand at Park Hall. At the time, the mooted move was complicated by Chester City's governance issues. Deva Stadium's pitch and stands lie in Wales, but outbuildings on the site that housed the club offices are in England, and Chester City were under the jurisdiction of the English Football Association.[5] Chester City were liquidated a month later by HMRC; in any event, the New Saints were granted a domestic license by the FAW in April 2010 and remained at Park Hall for 2010–11 season. The New Saints were crowned 2009–10 Welsh Premier League Champions.

Not sure of the level of competition but a winning side is a winning side I suppose. Won't be particularly easy but looking at things critically surely we're a significant upgrade on the Cardiff University side and Pontypridd United, a football club from the heart of rugby country in the valleys?

Guy on STV news just said Dundee aren't looking forward to the 10 hour journey to play The New Saints - has the game been moved to France and are they rowing there?

From Edinburgh?

I'm planning five hours to Oswestry from Dundee without a stop - 15 minutes extra if I do need to stop.

5 hrs would be pretty optimistic IMO.

Planning five, anything between that and five and a half is fine. Won't be in any hurry.
