You simply can't beat trip to see Merthyr

FANS up and down the country aspire to make their ground the best to visit but Merthyr Town have trumped the lot.

A Football Supporters’ Association members’ vote saw the Martyrs come out on top and scoop the FSA Away Day Experience of the Year award at the National Game Awards. 

Chairman of the Southern League, Anthony Hughes, grew up watching matches at Penydarren Park and believes the experience for visiting supporters has been transformed in recent years.

“I’m absolutely delighted and really pleased because a lot of hard work has gone in to make the club a welcoming place and they thoroughly deserve it,” said Hughes, who collected the award on the club’s behalf.
