The league finally reversed their decision and our entry into Division One is confirmed. It has been a long and draining road to get back where we belong. We are staying alert to ensure this transition proceeds without any further interference.

Barry Town AFC was formed in November 1912 as 'Barry AFC'. The 'Town' suffix was added, officially, after the Second World War in 1946. For two seasons from 2011-12 the Barry Town Supporters' Committee was operating a fully functioning football team in Welsh League Division One. This change culminated in the club reaching the Welsh Cup Semi Final for the first since the professional era of Barry Town a decade before. Under the guidance of the Committee, Barry Town was once again beginning to flourish.
Just two games before the end of the season, the owner of the football club withdrew the club from the league, and the resignation was accepted and Barry Town's records expunged. But this shouldn't be the end.
The same Barry Town Supporters' Committee has to rename its team and it has chosen Barry Town United AFC as the new name.We believe that this will unite current supporters and those supporters who did not wish to be associated with the regime that eventually closed down our beloved Barry Town.
Barry Town United firmly believes that justice should prevail, and our entry to the Welsh League Division One be accepted in time for the new season 2013-14.
There was no failure on behalf of the Supporters' Committee in organising and funding the football in any way, and we want the authorities to recognise this, and to put football first. The Committee was operating a fully functioning football 'club'.
Our team have already lost £12,500 in Welsh Cup earnings. They should not lose their status in the pyramid. We are calling on the Football Association of Wales to invoke Rule 11.1 which allows them the right to place us in the most appropriate division of the Welsh League that they see fit.
This has been acted on previously when Barry Town was moved out of the English non-league and was placed into Welsh League Division One. This was a defining moment.
The precedent was set 20 years ago. We believe that Barry Town United AFC should be placed in Division One of the Welsh League.

Reaching 1,000 signatures is exhausting and humbling in ways I did not expect. I am tired of the fight but seeing this level of support keeps me moving forward.

The silence from the league officials remains heavy but we are still pushing forward behind the scenes. It is exhausting to fight for a place that was already rightfully ours yet the stories you keep sharing prove that this fight is worth the drain.

Reaching this point in the campaign takes a toll but seeing the response reminds me why we started this fight in the first place. The authorities might ignore us for now yet it is clear that we are not alone in demanding justice for our club.

used to go watch Barry loads and it would be a shame to see all that hard work wasted. put em back in the league
good luck to barry town united, hope the league sort this out quick. the fans deserve better after all theyve done
The club was never dead, the people kept it alive. Barry Town United should be accepted for the new season no question.
what happened was a joke really. the committee did everything right and the record should show that, not some owner's mess
Been following Barry for years and this is just wrong. Get them in Division One and let football do the talking.
I am making a good salary from home $4580-$5240/week , which is amazing under a year ago I was jobless in a horrible economy. I thank God every day I was blessed with these instructions and now its my duty to pay it forward and share it with Everyone, . Follow Here ……..…Www.PayAtHome1.Com

Barry should be back where they belong, simple as that. The supporters have kept it going and its not fair to punish them like this.
