Put Barry Town football back in the hands of the community
We, the undersigned, fully support the Barry Town Supporters Committee's bid to run Barry Town AFC as a democratic, non-profit, community-based football club, in order to ensure its future.
We urge the current owner of Barry Town AFC Ltd. to split the football from his other business interests and to transfer the team, its identity, history and memberships to the BTSC at the earliest opportunity – and at a realistic price.
We are fully against the malicious and unnecessary withdrawal of Barry Town football from the Welsh pyramid, and support whatever steps are required to ensure its continuation as a viable and community-led enterprise.
We believe the biggest town in Wales deserves the opportunity to guide its 100-year old football side forward - and that no one man should ever own the right to endanger its status.
