Amateur football club that appears to be at level 12 of the English football pyramid and therefore not notable per WP:FOOTY. No external sources, descriptions of players seem to be entirely based on the article author's sense of humor ("Mr Hamstring himself"). NawlinWiki (talk) 11:45, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - "appears to be at level 12 of the English football pyramid" - this is a Welsh club, not an English one. The league they play in is not part of the English football pyramid at all...... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:16, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. By my reckoning, they play at level 11 of the Welsh football league system. The general rule of thumb for football club notability is playing in their national cup, and I can find no evidence of them ever competing in the Welsh Cup. A quick search on Google and Google News shows nothing that would suggest general notability. Bettia (talk) 11:09, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete.Looks like someone had a fun time,but the article has to go as there is no real evidence of the clubs existence —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zlatan Ramić (talk • contribs) 11:13, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - given that the highest level of the Welsh league system is only semi-professional and probably equivalent to about level 6 in England, level 11 in Wales would appear to be pub league-level football and well below the bar for notability -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 11:18, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I think someone created this to support an internet forum rumour that former Swansea City striker Lee Trundle would be heading there. That aside, no ref's and doesn't meet notability under WP:FOOTY. Rgds, --Trident13 (talk) 08:39, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - non-notable team. Giant Snowman 21:26, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
