Football has been played at Pen-Y-Pound since around the 1930's. Stadium development including building a 250 seat stand and club house were to achieved by Thursday's first management committee led by local businessman Vince Sullivan. Unfortunately the stand hasn't been used since the League of Wales days in the early 1990's but the club would love to see the stand reopened and used in the future.

Over the past few years the ground has had a huge amount of work put it into it. Some of this was to meet new FAW Criteria but also some of it was in need of doing.

The changing rooms have been totally reburished with freshly pained walls and more modern facilities. The old stone dugouts have been replaced with large modern dugouts, capable of seating a minimum of 8 people. The confier trees at the Wellfield road end have been felled, giving much more light to the properties backing on to the satdium but also allowing us to put a new warm up area behind the goal that is accompanied with hugh rise netting to ensure no balls get lost in the gardens.

The spectator experience has been enchanced no end. We now have 120 seats behind the goal with a further 150 being added to the front of the main stand. These seats have all been sold to the general public and each seat is now owned for life by someone, given us a real connection with our fanbase.

The clubhouse and function room has been refrubished and has been used for gentleman evenings, birthday parties, wedding parties, christenings and much more.

One of wales most famous football grounds is on its way back!
