The Cymru Premier will move to predominantly Friday night games next season, aiming to boost attendance. Caernarfon Town manager Richard Davies expressed uncertainty about the change, stating 'only time will tell' if it will be successful. The Football Association of Wales believes this shift could attract more fans, but some part-time players may face travel challenges. The league is expanding from 12 to 16 clubs, reflecting a broader revamp. Caernarfon, the current Welsh Cup holders, will also be competing in the UEFA Conference League after their recent cup victory.
