June 13 Welsh Premier approves new Super 12 format
The Welsh
Premier has ratified a new 32-fixture league structure
at its AGM in Llandudno. The 12 clubs will play each other
twice on a home and away basis, before the league
splits into two groups - the top six and the bottom
six. The league champions will enter the
Champions League, with the runners-up guaranteed a
Europa League place alongside the Welsh Cup winners.
The remaining Europa League spot
will be decided by a play-off. This will involve the clubs
finishing third to sixth, and the best-placed club
from the bottom six (or the eighth club if the seventh
club wins the Welsh Cup). BBC
June 11 Airbus has united with the other 11 of next season's Welsh Premier clubs
AIRBUS UK Broughton has united
with the other 11 of next season's Welsh Premier clubs
in favour of a 32-fixture format, followed by a
play-off for the third Europa League spot. The six clubs
from north and mid-Wales - Airbus, Bala, Bangor,
Newtown, Prestatyn and TNS - met in Wrexham last night
and agreed unanimously to accept the proposal put
forward by the FAW's head of competitions, Andrew
Howard.
The six south Wales clubs have already lent their
support, leaving the vote at Saturday's league AGM a
mere formality. Under the plan, the clubs will
play each other twice on a home and away basis, before
the league splits into two groups - the top six and
the bottom six. Clubs in these groups will play
each other twice again to bring the total fixture
count to 32. The league champions will enter
the Champions League, with the runners-up guaranteed a
Europa League place alongside the Welsh Cup winners. The remaining Europa League spot
will be decided by a play-off involving the clubs
finishing third to sixth, and the best-placed club
from the bottom six (or the eighth club if the seventh
club wins the Welsh Cup).
