Caernarfon Town manager Richard Davies says only time will tell if the Cymru Premier's move to Friday night games will succeed. The decision aims to boost attendances, according to Football Association of Wales chief executive Noel Mooney.

What's the plan?

The switch to more Friday night games is part of a major relaunch for Wales' domestic top flight, with the number of clubs rising from 12 to 16 next season.

How will it affect Caernarfon Town?

Davies suggests starting with north vs north matches on Fridays, then integrating southern teams. He notes that while Friday nights might attract more fans, they could also lead to a loss of traveling supporters.

What are the challenges?

The plan has received a mixed response from clubs and supporters, with Mooney acknowledging that part-time players may struggle to travel on Fridays. Davies points out that the new schedule could impact team meetings and preparations, particularly for teams that cannot travel the night before.

As of 28 Jun 2026, Caernarfon Town stands at 4th in the Premier League, with 45 points from 32 games, having scored 56 goals and conceded 47. Their recent form has been strong, with 5 consecutive wins, including a 2-0 victory over Penybont on 2026-04-18.

What's next for Caernarfon Town?

Before the new-look Cymru Premier starts, Caernarfon Town will face Estonia's Levadia Tallinn in European action, following their Welsh Cup final win over Flint Town United in April. The Oval, their home ground, has undergone major work, including a new pitch, and will host the European tie next month.
