Merthyr Town v Reading programme 13th February 1926 Merthyr Town FC entered the Football League as part of the newly inaugurated Third Division in season 1920-21, which was comprised entirely from the previous season's Southern League First Division. The following season the third tier was expanded further with Merthyr Town competing in the southern section. A gradual decline in fortunes saw the club eventually lose its Football League status in 1930, and cease to play altogether by 1934. Merthyr Town programmes are exceptionally rare.
