Club name

[edit]

Is the official name of the club "Newtown FC" or "AFC"? Mattythewhite 17:06, 15 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Peter Smith rumours

[edit]

Why did he leave? Did he played for the other side. —Preceding unsigned comment added by NewtownFannumberace (talkcontribs) 15:37, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Formation

[edit]

Found a reference suggesting the club was formed in 1884 - Montgomeryshire Express, 29 July 1884, p. 5. There is a clear gap from the last appearance of a club from Newtown (White Star) in 1882 and the formation of this one, and the personnel are different. Support probably carried over.

Dug a bit deeper - in fact half of the Newtown AFC line-up was in the White Stars, so, although technically a new club, there is a strong thread to the predecessors, and have amended the formation bit accordingly. In Vitrio (talk) 20:32, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
