What's the story here then? New team that has taken Swansea University's place in the league of Wales? A touch of MK Dons about it?

Headed by former Swan Kurtis March.

They haven’t taken their place in the league they’ve taken over the club. It’s the same club with a new name. Same coach, same players. The Uni pulled all funding for the football club so they had to find new backers or fold.

But different name, different badge and different hierarchy?

Well yeah cos it’s not a uni club anymore. They decided to stop funding it.

Absolutely love what they’re doing up Pure.
It’s the centre of the universe for kids football in Swansea and Kurtis and the coaches are superb.
Good luck chaps

Yea i agree, they got a good bunch of coaches up there. And are a central hub for early year grass roots football.
All the best to them.

For kids in Neath and Port Talbot as well.

Yes def!, and Llanelli way. I should have said that sorry.
At least half of my boy’s academy team are from out of the city.
Great little community up there and it’s all levels.

No need to apologise. Was just pointing out that it serves a massive area. My grandson has played up there for the past two years, it’s a great facility.

It's clever of them to swoop in and obviously great for the city etc, but if they want a senior team, they should really have started from the bottom.

Leave the Uni team fold then is it?

Exactly. The argument makes no sense. Smacks of a bit of jealousy.

Well it basically has. Does the new team have any link to the university?

I don't know which bit you don't think makes sense? A one team has disappeared and a different one has taken its place but has been allowed to keep its league position?

I have no link to any of these teams or teams in the division below (1 of which should really have taken the place) so I don't have anything to be jealous of.

But I do despise everything that MK Dons stand for and there's obvious parallels here.

They’ll still be playing in the same place. For now anyway. I’ll say it again, the uni pulled the funding. The team would have folded.
