The Martyrs face Hednesford Town at Penydarren Park on Saturday afternoon in the opening game of the 2026/27 Enterprise National League North season – Kick Off 15:00!

And there have been plenty of improvements in preparation!

Ground Arrangements

We look forward to welcoming our supporters back to Penydarren Park full of excitement ahead of the new season. We also welcome the supporters, players and staff of Hednesford Town to our ground. 

Within the ground, fans from both sides will have access to Webleys Bar, Romans Bar, the Lyn Jones Grandstand, Weekend Offender Terracing and the Anthony Hughes stand – however the David Miles stand will be for HOME SUPPORTERS only.

Also in and around the ground you will see our Club Volunteers in their new PURPLE Hi-Viz vests, this is for supporters to easily identify our great volunteers whether that be our turnstile staff, programme sellers, 50/50 sellers or our club volunteers on hand to provide you with any information needed. Our Car Park staff will be positioned in their ORANGE Hi-Viz vests to assist you on arrival at the ground, and our club pitch side media will be in BLACK Hi-Viz vests. 

Our stewards will then be the only ones in the YELLOW Hi-Viz vests and – like all our volunteers - are on hand to assist and help you with any questions you have, or directions you may need.
