Mynydd Isa FC seeks permission for new 50-seater stand
After securing promotion to the Lock Stock Ardal North West League – the third tier of Welsh football – the club was required to apply for a tier three license from the Football Association of Wales.
It was successful in its application, on the condition that it met the licensing requirement for providing covered fan seating by December.
'We are delighted to have been awarded a FAW Men's Tier 3 Licence for the 2025/26 season,' said the club in a statement. 'Thank you to our volunteers for their hard work behind the scenes.'
It plans to install the 50-seat stand – which will also have space for fans who use wheelchairs to take shelter – to the right-hand corner of the ground as you look out from the dugout.
The seating will sit inside a 40ft shipping container modified by Ruthin-based I.T Williams and Co, who specialise in small capacity sports stands – with the base provided by SCR Landscaping Services.
Argoed Sports Association will contribute 10% of the cost, with the remaining 90% coming from the FAW and Cymru Football Foundation's Welsh Ground Improvements Fund.
The FAW said: 'The club licensing system aims to assist the continual improvement and development of football clubs within Wales.
'Licensing is a transparent process that enables clubs to demonstrate to their stakeholders that they meet quality standards.'
