CAERNARFON Town are exploring the possibility of legal action following the Football Association of Wales’ decision to cancel the domestic season.

The Canaries’ hopes of securing European football took a significant dent with the news, with the governing body allocating the four places to champions Connah’s Quay Nomads, The New Saints, Bala Town and Barry Town United.

This has left the Cofis’ facing the prospect of losing out on a substantial cash windfall through no fault of their own, with the club still contesting for Europe in both the JD Cymru Premier and JD Welsh Cup.

Town chairman Paul Evans told the Chronicle that they did vote for the season to be curtailed, but were disappointed with the "way the FAW decided to hand out the fourth European spot".

He said: “We fully support the decision to end the league, and voted for this as everyone’s health and safety must always be the priority.

"With regards to European football, we are disappointed by the way the FAW has decided to hand out the fourth European spot.

"If we feel this way as a club then it is natural that we want to discuss the issue further with the FAW.

"I imagine that any club in our position would do so and am sure that other clubs in the Cymru Premier may be doing the same."

Sean Eardley’s side booked their place in the top-six after a standout start to the campaign. This is the second time in as many years the club has achieved the feat since joining the very best of the domestic game.

They managed to secure their UEFA Club Licence from the FAW earlier this year following the appointment of former Cefn Druids boss Huw Griffiths.

After they suffered playoff heartbreak in 2019, a possible Europa League place has been denied due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The FAW stated they hope to bring the Welsh Cup to a successful conclusion if it is safe to do so before the start of next season.
