He says, &#8220;We most probably would lose about five or six players.<br \/>\n&#8220;The simple fact is, the players I&#8217;ve got at the minute are much better than the level they&#8217;re at and I think they want to move on and get better in their careers&#8221;.<br \/>\nPlans to share facilities with Caerphilly RFC at Virginia Park have fallen through so Caerphilly Athletic are looking for other ways to find the grounds they need.<br \/>\nMr Ganderton hopes the council will be able to help.<br \/>\nBut Plaid Cymru Councillor Jeffrey Grenfell says, &#8220;The council&#8217;s budget is tight at the moment, everybody&#8217;s looking for the last penny.<br \/>\n&#8220;So it&#8217;s important that they try and pursue the right avenues of the council and fight their cause&#8221;.<br \/>\nIn a statement Caerphilly Council says, &#8220;With the limited pitch facilities we have, we continue to look for ways we can support the clubs in securing a long term base.&#8221;<br \/>\nBut Mr Ganderton says he&#8217;s worried a decision might come too late.<br \/>\nThe club hopes to rally fans and the wider community to help them progress, but for now, their future is still uncertain.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Caerphilly Athletic Football club has been denied promotion to the Welsh Football League after its facilities were classed as unsuitable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":243,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[35,6,13],"tags":[152,135,282,57],"coauthors":[],"class_list":["post-22075","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-latest","category-news","category-sport","tag-caerphilly","tag-council","tag-football","tag-sport-2"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.2 -
