A fire which is believed to have begun accidentally ravaged Merthyr Tydfil Football Club's changing room. The blaze damaged the building — which was empty — used by the stalwart Wales side, which had to move out of the British Gas Southern League after HM Revenue and Customs had issued a winding up order against the club, which had debts of about £315,000. Three local fire crews were called to the ground on Sunday morning and the fire was contained to the two-storey room. The club has had electricity to its ground cut over unpaid bills.
