From the terrace.

Six letters to the programme, more or less. First names only.

In their words

Short quotes from people around the club. There are no star ratings. It is a football ground, not a hotel.

Forty years I have stood on that bank. I have seen a lot of very bad football there, and I would not have missed any of it.

We moved here with no family nearby and the kids were bored. Somebody at the school said to try Glan Taf. They got in free and I got chatting. That was four years ago.

We had my dad's wake at the clubhouse. They could not have been kinder. The bar was run by a man who had played against him in 1971.

I put the firm's name on a board for two hundred quid. I cannot prove it has brought in a single job. I also would not take it down.

I did not know anything about football. I went to help in the tea hut because I was lonely after I retired. Now I do the Saturday rota and I have opinions about the back four.

EileenTea hut

I started playing for the vets at forty-nine. I have pulled most things. I have also never laughed so much on a Sunday morning.

Five pounds, a hot tea and a bit of shouting.

Saturday, Glan Taf Ground, a five-minute walk from Taffs Well station. Under-16s free with an adult. The clubhouse is open after the game, and you do not need to know anybody.
