@Referee_SWFA @SouthWalesFA Does the association publish a list of those successful?

@CymruLeague @FAWales @WelshFanZoneTV @welshfootball_ @cymrufootyfan @NoelMooney13 Combined of both - £20 to watch an end of season friendly after blowing the play offs isn’t very attractive. It should have been as cheap as chips to attract families, schools and organisations to bring groups!

@ArdalSouthern How come Tredegar have been reprieved and not South Gower. The problem was a lack of second team being promoted from West Wales so to see a Gwent team who were already reprieved last season is ridiculous. Promotion should always be favoured over reprieving teams!

@Referee_SWFA @dtanhai @SouthWalesFA @CardiffReferees Well done to Jamie - look forward to seeing his name more often and seeing him progress. It’s good to see youngsters dedicating to the game!

@dtanhai @Referee_SWFA @SouthWalesFA @CardiffReferees Junior referee I assume Dan? I’m just interested how these awards are decided and chosen? What is the criteria for being best association referee?

@peldroedjourno @fooballcymru Agreed - Monmouth have better PPG but at same time it would be good to see a Welsh Language team develop. Make a play off between them and let the best team get promoted!! If South Gower are any good then they’ll bounce back and be promoted next season.

@CwmbranTown @PontardaweTown @CymruLeagues A gracious message in defeat 👏🏻👏🏻 A good competitive game, from what I could see through the midgies anyway 😂

@leechilds541 Love this idea Lee! Anything to make it a good experience and good crowd. In fairness to @SouthWalesFA they have got their finals and play offs organised fantastically.

Cup final on a Thursday night is poor 🤢 I guess venue availability at Penybont is difficult with other leagues and associations having bookings there but a Thursday night isn’t the answer

@ArdalSouthern Friday night rather than Thursday? Play offs granted but that is always going to be played the week after the cup final - regularly the case!

@MJPrice1962 If venues like Ystrad Mynach, Ocean Park, Cambrian or Stebbo or similar aren’t available then look at holding at a neutral venue of one of the league clubs. If this has already been explored then apologies for the strong criticism but a Friday night would be best in my opinion

@SouthWalesFA @PenybontFC_ @SWPLInfo @AlbionSplott @BryntirionAfc @llanishenfc @afcabercynon97 @BarryAthleticFC @CroeserwAth I can see extra time been removed from the play offs. Not surprised to see it has been removed as it was the only competition left for a period of time that didn’t go straight to penalties if a draw after 90 minutes. I liked the drama and appeal of the extra time though!!

Give the elite their own games at Tiers 1, 2 & latter stages of FAW cups.

@BridgendReferee @SouthWalesFA @SWPLInfo @TrelewisW @ABargoed @TonAlbions @BarryAthleticFC @llanishenfc @AlbionSplott @BryntirionAfc @afcabercynon97 @CroeserwAth @Referee_SWFA You’re not handing these to just anyone. You have promotion candidates that have been assessed all season. A choice of mixing those in with or using your strongest referees in the SWPL and keep grassroots officials on grassroots games.

In fact some of the worst decision I’ve seen are by the elite officials with their over zealous approach. 2/2

@BridgendReferee @SouthWalesFA @SWPLInfo @TrelewisW @ABargoed @TonAlbions @BarryAthleticFC @llanishenfc @AlbionSplott @BryntirionAfc @afcabercynon97 @CroeserwAth @Referee_SWFA You are talking Tier 7 to Tier 6 promotion, I think you’d find that any grassroots referee that was selected would consider it an honour and not a token gesture. Unlike those elite officials who are using it as a tick box for training 1/2
