Statistics suggest there is.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>AWAY from the bright lights of the English Premier League, the JD Cymru Premier, Wales\u2019 top national division is drawing crowds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Teams such as The New Saints, Connah\u2019s Quay, and Barry Town ply their trade, undeterred by the popularity of English football.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Welsh clubs Cardiff City, Swansea City, Wrexham, Newport County, and Merthyr Town play their football in the English pyramid due to the financial benefits and larger audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the JD Cymru Premier is on the way to its largest average attendances since statistics began in 2009.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.transfermarkt.co.uk\/cymru-premier\/besucherzahlen\/wettbewerb\/WAL1\/plus\/?saison_id=2021\">Transfermarkt.co.uk<\/a>, with 10 games remaining this season, average attendances of 355 already sit above the previous record of 354 set during the 2018\/2019 season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This marks a 9.91% increase on the league\u2019s last fully recorded season in 2019\/2020 before Covid disrupted live attendances for most of 2020\/2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Barry Town fan Alex Lloyd, 39, said: \u201cIt is very important that we have a national football pyramid in Wales.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen you think about all the towns and villages represented in the Welsh League structure, it gives so many players a level to aim for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI know Cardiff, Swansea, and Newport are most people\u2019s first thoughts when it comes to Welsh Football, but there are so many teams with proud traditions in the game outside of the big three.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is great to see that attendances are continuing to rise and that people are getting behind their local teams.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe class=\"zeen-lazy-load-base

is Barry Town who have the second-highest average attendances this season with 475, only beaten by Caernarfon Town who have 587.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Barry have had to battle for their place in Welsh football ever since the club\u2019s famous saga with former owner Stuart Lovering which saw the once-dominant Cymru Premier side drop down to the fourth tier of Welsh football.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although a far cry away from the team that once defeated FC Porto 3-1 in a Champions League qualifier in 2001, the club\u2019s recovery in returning to the top-flight has brought a sense of togetherness that few clubs can rival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"

scenes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe main thing that had changed in the last 20 years, was the togetherness and grounded family feel the club now has, having been through so
