According to a study by the Football Association of Wales Trust (FAWT), each grassroots club in Wales has lost an average of £ 7,000 since March
These losses are due to a loss of match day and club sponsorship, cancellation of events and continued delays at the start of the season for all clubs except 16 in Wales
The survey was completed by over 500 clubs and paints a grim picture of the future of Welsh football
A loss of sponsorship was responsible for the majority of the losses, with more than 80% of clubs saying their coffers had been wiped out since March, while more than half of respondents confirmed that volunteers had left their club since the lock
Worryingly, many clubs have warned that their only hope of recouping their losses will be an increase in membership prices if they survive this season
However, 74% of junior clubs are planning new activities to make up for the loss of a season when FAW and Welsh government allow grassroots football to return
Survey results show 97% of Welsh clubs have been financially affected with an average loss of £ 7,000 per club, with the sections most affected being senior teams and under 14 and under age teams 16 years old
