The West Wales FA has granted us permission to play at Bae Baglan School. This result secures a safe and appropriate environment for our children to play the sport they love. I am grateful to everyone who helped us highlight the necessity of this change.

Final supporters
This petition will be given to the West Wales FA prior to their final meeting regarding giving Bryncoch FC permission to play matches at Bae Baglan on 6th February 2019.
We would appreciate as many signatures as possible as around 100 local children between the ages of 8 and 11 have been missing their regular Saturday home matches since the 24th of November 2018. We have been using Bae Baglan as there are a lack of facilities locally, with Llandarcy and Cwrt Herbert Teams both utilising their own facilities. Our given facilities, Waunceirch Playing Fields, are sub-par as they are used by local dog walkers who leave an objectionable quantity of dog mess, are very rarely mowed and have no markings on them. We believe it is unacceptable for parents and coaches to have to gather this mess and for kids to risk falling into it. We should be allowed to use these brand new, state of the art facilities when we live in the same county as the school and our council tax payments have contributed to it being built. Lastly, it is unreasonable that we are not allowed to play there when it is only 5.8 miles away but we would be allowed to play in Carmarthen which is 32 miles away!
Thank you for taking the time to support Bryncoch Football Club in trying to reach a resolution in this problem.

This affects all clubs in the Neath area not just bryncoch. The 2 boys sides at our age have had 3 games cancelled this season so far. 3G is the way forward and until decent facilities at affordable prices are available in the "area" we should let them play
I think it's unbelievable that children are been stopped from playing regular football, due to a territory dispute. Which is a 5 or 10 min drive, when you consider that we have teams in the Neath league which are in Powys and Carmarthenshire.
Beurocratic rules are preventing young children playing regular football in an excellent facility. No other teams were using the slots and the school are losing earnings as a result too... let them play, everyone wins
There are fantastic facilities in Bae Baglan school which are in Neath Port Talbot county and only 3 miles from our village. I feel strongly that it’s more important that children are able to regularly play sport than where they are actually playing. Revisit the boundaries.
It is ridiculous that kids are being stopped from playing footballl in a local facility that NPT council has paid for. The field in Waunceirch is not fit for purpose and is unkept. The dog mess on the pitch is just a health hazard and is an accident waiting to happen
It just doesn’t make sense that we cannot use the facilities there.
Let the kids play my team play there week in week out.leave the Neath teams play aswell.letting the kids down that’s all

Institutionalised bunch of stuffy old men who would rather argue that Wwfa is the enemy of swfa and vice versa. Been objecting to each other for years, pathetic, let the boys/girls play football or get out of your stuffy armchairs and gain funding for proper facilities.
