Bala Town facing cuts of 'up to 30%'
Bala Town are facing cuts of up to 30% following a "hugely difficult and challenging 12 months" for the club. Earlier this month, the Lakesiders announced Colin Caton, the Cymru Premier's longest serving manager, had resigned after 22 years and 880 games in charge at Maes Tegid. Advertisement "The club will be forever grateful to Colin for his outstanding service, his complete commitment to the position, his dedication, his enthusiasm, his determination, his professionalism and his outstanding achievements," Bala said in a statement. And club secretary Ruth Crump says Bala are assessing their expenditure in full amid a major financial struggle at the Gwynedd outfit. "We're looking into everything at the club in terms of our spending, facilities, training, we're looking at cuts everywhere," Crump told BBC Radio Cymru's Ar y Marc. "We're looking at between 20% and 30% (in cuts)." Advertisement Crump added: "The challenges that we as a small club face within the Cymru Premier have been discussed extensively, but no help or solutions have come to help alleviate those concerns. "The challenges have had a personal impact on a number of people involved with the club, but we are determined to continue our journey at the highest level of football in Wales." Caton guided Bala to a first ever Welsh Cup in 2017 and led the Lakesiders to Nathaniel MG Cup glory in 2023. Discussing Caton's exit, Crump added: "I've been in shock over these past few days, I wasn't expecting it at all. "I thought Colin was carrying on for at least another year. It's really sad and I've been very upset by it all."
