Lily's opinion:

Aber's programme has for many years been renowned for providing quality reading material,  and this season's edition is no exception.

Whilst many of the articles appear to have been pulled off the web and the league's newsletter, there are still many in-house features of notes including 'Rhun's Ramblings' and 'Moore's Musings'. Print quality is rather sporadic with poorly photocopied pages but on the whole this is one of the best in the league and is a great addition to a collection.

Lily's Jottings
The ground improvements made at Park Avenue since qualification to the Inter-Toto cup have made trips to Aberystwyth pleasant affairs. Long gone are the grassy knolls which used to be behind the goals, and the erection of a new stand and television facilities has gone a long way towards updating what had become a rather antiquated stadium. The old and the new merge in rather a curious fashion, but with the covered accommodation in three stands more that sufficient for Aber's usual needs, there can be no complaints from visitors.

Housing one of the largest club houses in the league, Aber has a club shop and ample refreshment facilities. The close proximity to the town centre also means it's handy for a trip to the shops and local pubs/eating places if desired.

With good gates and facilities, the is one ground footy purists must visit!
