As you may not be aware, Rhayader are known for their after game antics. The boys like to sample a beer or two. This of course has lead to them getting into a few spots of bother - none more than the away trip to Llandudno (April 96).
A brief guide to what happened that night is as follows.
LLandudno - April 1996 Last Saturday to Llandudno we went, with joy in our hearts and money to be spent! The game turned out to be no fun, with Rhayader losing two goals to one. The game itself was a complete farce, the referee was a pain in the Bottom! A goal scored from an indirect free-kick, confirmed our fears - the ref was a pr**k. The referee he spoiled the game, all the spectators said it was a real shame. The match was end to end, all out attack, spoilt on numerous occasions by the bloke in black! But after all has been said and done, the match was good, we should have won. So into the bar we all did race, to drown our sorrows and get s**t-faced. We went to find accommodation if we could, we did! a lovely green place called Lynwood. The rooms were sorted, the boys got dressed, all ready and eager to go and get p****d. About the town the boys did treck, slowly getting completely wrecked. "Lets go to a night-club" we all did say, so of we went to the Boulevard - Broadway. The club was full, the beer was expensive, the boys carried on, none apprehensive. Dancing and chatting all through the night, but at the end no girls in sight! "Back to the hotel and into bed, to sleep off the beer" Woosnam had said. For most of us this was done, but for a few it was the start of the fun....... .....at 3.00 a.m. all was still and calm, we were then awoke it wasn't the alarm. The 'Boys on Tour' had just woke up, with pandemonium about to erupt. Tables were moved and doors were blocked, they tried to get in but our room door was locked. Crashing and banging all through the night, and when we awoke - my what a sight!!! When we got up and looked out the door, the hotel was dark - no lightbulbs any more. We looked out the window and what we see? A yucca plant where it it wasn't supposed to be! The hotel had been - to put it politely, trashed through the night and not so quietly. Plants were here and tables were there, hallways were blocked the restaurant was bare. Next thing we knew the police had arrived, batons and handcuffs on show by their sides. The 'Boys on Tour' were then awoke, they suddenly realised it was no longer a joke! The boys were threatened with arrest, they compromised and paid for the mess. It cost them a packet, I'm sure you'll agree, The 'Boys on Tour' were rather silly.
As the end of the season was approaching at it was getting to the stage that people actually thought that Rhayader would gain promotion to the then Konica League of Wales the fans started to get excited...........
Rhayader and the Konica Three points today will make us sing It may even keep quiet the Wild Thing Woosnam might even encourage a bloke but chances of that are rather remote. We all will watch and of course wait....... for the final whistle before we celebrate the leagues been won its now all ours time to drink until the early hours If by now the leagues been won into the bar we all shall run the champagne will be waiting for the boys who I’m sure will be singing - what a noise No longer Woosnam can sit on the fence and Crossy’s now no longer tense the club is now in a bit of commotion What’s happened lads? we gained promotion!!!!!! The club has always had plenty of pride and now at last a quality side its’ taken about 3 years to do and at last the boys have come through Rhayader Town are on the up next years aim - the Welsh Cup Watch out Barry here we come and now the fun has just begun The Konica are they prepared? for the Rhayader boys who are not scared! Into battle they will proceed to conquer the Konica, can they succeed? All the boys have proved their worth lead of course by OLD man Murph He may be old he may be grey he’s still “HEAD” strong and leads the way The PLAYERS :- Clarkey who has a problem with his bowel and of course Jan Molby or is it Hywel Stevie Wynne he’s got no hair And Darren Weaver who crashes everywhere. Dylan McPhee he sure can’t head Guy who looks like he’s just got out of bed Chris Watkins who is the Leagues top Scorer Ollie Bayliss he is the performer About Lynn Owen what can we say? He small, quick but likes to play Tony Tolleys between the sticks Ben and Shane are full of tricks also there is little Jonty he like his drink in a large quantity occasionally there’s a lad called Pricey he’s very fit and extremely sporty. Lets not forget the two old men Murph and Griff or Bill and Ben The managers, theres too many to count I’m sure you’ll know who I’m talking about Behind the scenes they will rejoice apart from one you’ll hear his voice...... ......”this Konica it is a worry It’s going to cost the club more money”! Tonight the beers will be consumed In a serious way it can be assumed It’ll be the warm up for the dinner I’d say Which is taking place on the 16th of May Anon May 97.
