Wanted : One Flag

By Chairman Mao -

Dial M For Merthyr is sad to announce that the infamous MERTHYR TYDFIL GODS COUNTRY flag was lost prior to the Montenegro v Wales in Podgorica on 3rd September.

A substantial reward of no particular value is offered for information leading to the recovery of the Merthyr Town FC heirloom.

Please help reunite this artefact with its guardian Mr. Moppy. All information will be treated in confidence and forgotten very quickly.

We thank you for your co-operation in bringing our flag back to it's spiritual home.

Following on from the recent post about how a Merthyr Tydfil AFC badge accompanied my journey through the highs & lows of secondary school education in our fair borough, a recent clear out of stuff from my house has brought a few more items of memorabilia from that era of youthful exuberance back into focus. The seventies wasn’t a bad decade to follow the Martyrs. It started with John Charles and that beautiful mauve & yellow football kit. Broken hearts against Hendon and Tooting & Mitcham too. It ended with the heartache of that midweek defeat to Burton Albion and no promotion but in between we had the Chesham United FA Cup disappointment. Penydarren Park was a lot different to the stadium we enjoy today. The ground was only two-sided with just Main Stand and Wank Bank providing any cover so behind each goal there was plenty of space to play football, tell tall tales and run wild. We watched both Match of the Day and The Big Match every weekend and marveled at the b...
